PU Computer Science Processing for Running Website Project – Description
PREPARATION
Start your GCP instance and connect to it using the SSH link. You will need to leave your instance running for at least the next two units. If for some reason you have to reboot your instance, you’ll need to do repairs to make your WordPress site work again. Here is a page to assist you: Fix WordPress After Restart.
ASSIGNMENT
Keep a Word document which will show your process.
Your instance already has nginx installed so you should skip step 1. To install the rest of the LEMP tool, see steps 2-5 of the tutorial How To Install Linux, Nginx, MariaDB, PHP (LEMP stack) on Debian 10Links to an external site. to get MariaDB and php up and running.
These instructions are not exact. You do not have your own domain name but instead are using port number 7074, so see your notes from installing and configuring nginx.
Once you finish installing the LEMP stack, you should follow the instructions How to Install WordPressLinks to an external site.. Again, you have to make some adjustments since you do not have a domain. It would be good to document any changes you make more thoroughly. Also, you do not need to worry about installing an SSL certificate and using https. WordPress will work without it, though you would definitely want to do this for a real site.
Once your site is working, log in to WordPress and change the opening page to include your name. Also make a post on your site.
In addition to showing the steps you took in getting the tools to run, answer the following questions about the installation process:
The name of your database for WordPress
The location of the WordPress files
The URL for reaching your WordPress site
List all the users/accounts you created throughout this assignment and what each one is for.
REFLECTION
At the end of your Word document, include the answers to the following questions:
In a sentence or two, what did you learn?
In a sentence or two, what did you like about this project?
In a sentence or two, what did you find confusing or would like to see done differently regarding this project?
