#Step 1: Download Wordpress | |
# Point to your webserver root - typically | |
$ cd /var/www/html | |
$ wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz | |
# Then untar | |
$ tar xzf latest.tar.gz | |
# There will a folder named wordpress | |
#Step 2: Create Database in postgresql e.g wp1 | |
$ sudo su - postgres | |
$ psql | |
$ create database wp1; | |
$ create user adminwp1 with password 'secret123'; | |
$ grant all privileges on database wp1 to adminwp1; | |
$ \q | |
#Step 3: Edit config file with Database from step2 | |
# Using sed to edit the file | |
$ sed -e 's/database_name_here/wp1/g' -e 's/username_here/adminwp1/g' -e 's/password_here/secret123/g' -i ./wp-config.php | |
# that will make the following changes in wp-config.php | |
define( 'DB_NAME', 'wp1' ); | |
define( 'DB_USER', 'adminwp1' ); | |
define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'secret123' ); | |
#Step 4: only if setting up development environment | |
$ sed 's/\(def.*WP_DEBUG.*,\) true/\1 false/g' -i ./wp-config.php | |
#That will make the following changes in wp-config.php | |
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true ); | |
#Step 5: Install PostgreSQL driver called Pg4wp | |
#Go into wp-content subfolder | |
$ cd wp-content | |
#Download the repository of the driver code | |
$ git clone https://github.com/kevinoid/postgresql-for-wordpress.git | |
$ mv postgresql-for-wordpress/pg4wp Pg4wp | |
$ cp Pg4wp/db.php db.php | |
#Alternative driver code - This is actually faster - better perhaps | |
$ wget https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wppg.1.0.1.zip | |
$ unzip -q wppg.1.0.1.zip | |
# or get fresh copy from git clone https://github.com/qodrorid/wppg.git | |
$ cp wppg/pg4wp/db.php . | |
$ mv wppg plugins | |
#Confirm Driver is set to postgresql (pgsql) | |
$ grep DB_DRIVER db.php | |
# this will reture the following | |
# define('DB_DRIVER', 'pgsql'); // 'pgsql' or 'mysql' are supported for now | |
#Clean up if necessary | |
$ rm -rf postgresql-for-wordpress | |
$ rm ../../latest.tar.gz | |
#Finally complete the installation via web browser | |
