WordPress on the top of EC2 instance and AWS RDS

There are few steps you need to follow to Launch WordPress on the top of AWS EC2 instance and AWS RDS for databases :

 1. Create an AWS EC2 instance 

 2.  Configure the instance with Apache Webserver. 

 3. Install php

 4.  Download php application name "WordPress".

 5.  Setup a MySQL server using AWS RDS service.

 6.  Provide the endpoint/connection string to the WordPress application.



1. Launch EC2 instance :


So first we need to launch EC2 instance and in that instance we will configure our webserver.

For this, to check how to launch instance in AWS step by step, go through my this blog:


2. Configure the instance with Apache Webserver :


Install apache web server using this command : yum install httpd



3. Install php :


 Because WordPress is a website written in php, we need to install php. And for this we need to install php version 7.4 that is compatible with wordPress version 5.6.

Command To install php 7.4 : amazon-linux-extras install php7.4



4. Download php application name "WordPress" :


> We can download wordpress from github using this link :
     https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress

> Copy the folder from windows to EC2 instance using WINSCP.

> And then copy the wordpress page to /var/www/html directory.

 command to copy : cp -rvf  /home/ec2-user/WordPress-master/*  /var/www/html/
 
> Start httpd service using command : systemctl start httpd

  
Here you can see service has been started.

> Now browse for ip of your instance on any web browser.
 <EC2-instance-ip>:80/index.php

> WordPress page will come up and it will ask for database name, username, password , and database endpoint.




5.  Setup a MySQL server using AWS RDS service: 


As wordpress stores data at the backend in MySQL Database server. Therefore, we need to setup a MySQL server using AWS RDS service using Free Tier.

 These are the few steps to setup MySQL server in AWS:

  1. Go to services and select create database option.

  2. Select mysql


  3. Select free tier, admin name and database name then give password for database.



  4. select Instance size, storage, Network, VPC, subnets, according to your need and create.


 6.  Provide the endpoint/connection string to the WordPress application : 

> Now check the endpoint of your database in database instance.

> Enter the database name, database username , password and database end point in wordpress.


> Create/edit file in /var/www/html with filename - wp-config.php

command : vim wp-config.php

> In that file, copy the text given in wordpress.


> After copying, select "Run the installation"

> Then provide information needed and install wordpress.

> Use your username and password provided to login.



Now you can create your own websites and blogs on WordPress!!

DONE!!!!

That's all we need to do.

Now you can check your website using instance IP and port 80 on any web browser.

  <instance-ip>:80/index.php




My web page come up!!!


Hope you liked my blog :)

NETWORK TOPOLOGY

Image
In this blog I'm going to create a  network Topology Setup in such a way that System A can  ping to two Systems System B and System C but both these systems should not be pinging each other without using any security rule e.g firewall etc . Every body thinks that in a network topology, if System A can ping to B and System B can ping to C, then it's obvious that system C can ping system A. But NO, Not Always... So in this blog, I'm going to show you how to create such topology. And believe me, doing this is so simple. It's just a game of netmask and routing table. Let's jump to the practical : System A : 1. Change the ip and netmask of system A to 192.168.1.20/16 2. Then add network range in the routing table .      Here I've selected the range such that it can ping to both of my other system. 3. By using route -n command, you can check the routing table  of System. 4. Using ifconfig enp0s3 command, you can check the ip of the system . System B : 1. C...
