Run Wordpress on diode

In the following documentation you will find how to run Wordpress on diode.

What you will find?

How to install and Configure

  • LAMP
    • Apache
    • MariaDB
    • PHP
  • WordPress
  • Diode

Install LAMP (Apache, MariaDB, PHP):

Install according to your distribution, maybe you need to do an update before the installations:

Debian/Ubuntu 
sudo apt install apache2 mariadb-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql

Arch Linux 
sudo pacman -S apache mariadb php php-apache php-mysql

Configure Apache:

  • If the service is not running, start it: 
    sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd
  • Edit the PHP configuration file to make it work with Apache: 
    sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
  • Add or comment the following lines at the end of the file: 
    LoadModule php_module modules/libphp.so
AddHandler php-script .php
Include conf/extra/php_module.conf
Include conf/extra/wordpress.conf
  • Restart Apache as needed: 
    sudo systemctl restart httpd

Configure MariaDB (MySQL):

  • Start MariaDB and configure the root password: 
    sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo systemctl start mariadb
sudo mysql_secure_installation
  • Create a database called wordpress: 
    sudo mysql -u root -p
    Inside MariaDB: 
    CREATE DATABASE wordpress;
CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'username'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
    Don't forget to change the username and password to your own.

Configure PHP:

  • Make sure that the required modules for WordPress are installed:

    • php-mysql
    • php-apache

  • Edit the /etc/php/php.ini file to enable MySQLi support:

    sudo nano /etc/php/php.ini

  • Comment out the line:

    extension=mysqli

  • Restart Apache again:

    sudo systemctl restart httpd

  • It may be necessary to change the MPM to mpm_prefork The mpm_prefork module for Apache is more appropriate to run PHP, as it is not threaded and works better with PHP modules that are not thread-safe.

    • Edit the Apache configuration file to disable the current MPM (probably mpm_event) and enable the mpm_prefork: 
      sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
    • Locate the line that loads the mpm_event module and comment it out (add a # at the beginning of the line): 
      #LoadModule mpm_event_module modules/mod_mpm_event.so
    • Enable the mpm_prefork module, removing the comment (or adding it if it doesn't exist): 
      LoadModule mpm_prefork_module modules/mod_mpm_prefork.so

Download WordPress:

  • Download the latest version of WordPress:

    To install WordPress you need wget, check if you have it in your distro or install it according to your needs.

    wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz

Move WordPress to the web directory:

  • Move the WordPress files to the default Apache directory: 
    sudo mv wordpress /srv/http/

Set permissions:

  • Adjust the permissions for the WordPress directory 
    sudo chown -R http:http /srv/http/wordpress
sudo chown -R 755 /srv/http/wordpress

Check the WordPress configuration:

  • Make sure that the Apache server is configured correctly to serve WordPress: You can edit the site configuration file:

    • Create a new configuration file in /etc/httpd/conf/extra/wordpress.conf

      sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/wordpress.conf

    • Add the following content:

      <Directory "/srv/http/wordpress">
	AllowOverride All
	Require all granted
</Directory>

Alias /wordpress /srv/http/wordpress

    • Include this file in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, adding the following line:

      Include conf/extra/wordpress.conf

      • When you start the server, you will notice that it will only run in a folder and you will have to manually access the WordPress folder to resolve this, so you can already assign the WordPress path in the httpd.conf configuration file

         sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/wordpress.conf

        Now add or replace the part where it says DocumentRoot with the WordPress path adding /wordpress as in the example below:

         ...
 DocumentRoot "/srv/http/wordpress"
 <Directory "/srv/http/wordpress">
 	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
 	AllowOverride All
 	Require all granted
 </Directory>
 ...

    • Restart Apache and MariaDB as needed:

      sudo systemctl restart httpd
sudo systemctl restart mariadb

Access WordPress

  • Access WordPress on your browser: http://localhost/wordpress
  • Follow the installation process, enter the database information (database name:wordpress, username:username, password:password).

Diode

  • To install diode, just run the command below, it will install and send the executable path to the /opt in the / of your system:

     curl -Ssf https://diode.io/install.sh | bash && sudo mv ~/opt/diode /opt/ && rm -r ~/opt/ && export PATH=/opt/diode:$PATH

  • To open WordPress on diode just run the command below:

     diode publish -public 80:80 -socksd

  • If you don't know what port the Apache server is running on, you can check the Listen in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file

     cat /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

In my case, it was on line 52: Listen 80
