Re: How to run wordpress

[Mike Savory]

According to http://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
The requirements have changed as of WordPress 3.2. The minimum requirements for 
WordPress 3.1 are PHP 4.3 and MySQL 4.1.2.

The wordpress port (currently at version 3.2.1) declares a library dependency 
they will result incurrent versions of  PHP, Apache and MYSQL being installed 
if they are not already present. There are Notes with this port that cover 
initial permissions setup (just type 'port notes wordpress' to see them.

Michael,

You need to ensure that you have installed the following;

1. apache22
2. php52
3. mysql client & server
4. wordpress

The easiest way is to port install php52 +apache22+mysql5. You will 
also need to install the mysql5-server separately form the above. I highly 
encourage you to read through the docs on setting up mysql server it's very 
straight forward except the initialization of the db core (man 
mysql_install_db). 

Once you have successfully setup the basic database systems you will be 
able to connect as root to the db server on localhost. DO NOT enable outside 
network connections or you are asking for serious trouble. You will need to 
follow the setup of an empty db schema and appropriate user access. Do not set 
up wordpress to use your root account. Create a new db admin id for the WP site 
something akin to  siteadm and give it a unique password. Also don't forget to 
set the default password for the root user of your db server (this is different 
from the root shell user).

Wordpress needs the siteadm and password for the sitedb before you can 
properly set it up.

I hope that help clarify some of this for you. If you need more 
direction than this with the available documentation, perhaps it is time to 
hire a consultant and grant them ssh access to your server. Complete 
compilation aside this process should take approximately 2 hours on a bad day 
with a normal internet connection.

If you want to migrate from a existing wordpress setup/instance you have to 
copy the regarding mysql database to the new mysql database server.

This is usually done by mysqldump on the source and mysql import on the target 
machine.

Start simple.

Check that apache2 is configured: (assuming vhosts)
$ sudo apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS


Check that mysql is available:
$ mysqladmin5 ping -h127.0.0.1


Report the results.

This would be incorrect for most application cases for different reasons:

- A "LAMP" is nothing more then a Linux with Apache, MySQL and PHP 
(pre-)installed. There is no reason why Linux should really be better then Mac 
OS X here and mysql and php could be installed by ports as easy as with most 
modern linux distributions.

- even highly specific LAMP distros just bring that kind of software installed 
and preconfigured as far as this is done by most other package / port 
managers, but NOT configured to your specific needs (and by the nature of 
software like Apache and MySQL you usually have to configure it for your needs 
in the very most productional environments - i.e. which has to run on a public 
internet). The installation byself is a very smaller part compared to this.

- even on ready to run LAMP distros you have to configure wordpress and a 
reasonable database incl. their rights for it as required. The only exception 
would be a highly specific "wordpress distro" which only makes sense in demo 
scenarios (but then you could try wordpress online anywhere...), but nothing 
really more.

- it makes no sense to run a complete operating system instance just to avoid 
the configuration of one application like wordpress.

Niels.

When all's said & done the best place for the user to go is
 & search the Forum
for specific, related questions. If nothing turns up, just lodge a new
post. They're pretty friendly & you can generally get WP up & running
without too much trouble.

I do agree with you but for the whole issue of getting mysql to run
or using another DB that nobody else uses and you are on your own wrt any 
problems
and having done it once on a system that just works (and actually configuring 
wp is really dead easy) then doing it on OSX is going to be much easier

Heretical on this list, but why would you not just run a linux LAMP server
 
An afterthought 
If your WWW server is just added to your desktop machine then vbox with a linux 
LAMP server works well

Not heretical. If running Linux is better for a particular task than running OS 
X, do it. However, the user does not know how to configure wordpress. The 
answer to that is not to run Linux; the answer is to learn how to configure 
wordpress.

Heretical on this list, but why would you not just run a linux LAMP server
iMACs run too hot with freq-adjust, they surely need freq-idle, but I've not 
fiddled
I've not tried mac-mini 
MacServers will surely work fine.
Try booting a live CD. You choose which - I like SuSE but ubuntu works well and 
is easy too.
That way you can play without touching your HD in any way

Configuring Wordpress needs the setup of a corresponding mysql database. This 
is afaik not part of macports and depends from your needs as most LAMP 
applications do need their own configurations - independent from any 
installation system / framework like macports.

Take a look at the wordpress install docs and - if required - into mysql docs 
about how to create a database incl. database user with proper access rights to 
it.

You need to run WP in a webserver that supports PHP5 and something like 
mod_rewrite - apache, nginx or lighttpd. Then it's a matter of unpacking the WP 
code base into your vhost and setting up the mysql db.There is a good how-to on 
 Wordpress.org that should help you with the finer points (how-to 
http://bit.ly/FOUwj).
