This is not intended to be a complete HOWTO for Linux (Raspbian), Apache2, PHP, MySQL and\u00a0 WordPress on a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB. What it is supposed to be is a guide that demonstrates that it is easy to get LAMP + WordPress going on a Pi with some links to the documentation that I used.<\/p>\n
Assuming you’ve got your Pi and possibly some external storage it’s important to plan out what you’re trying to accomplish and how you want to go about it.<\/p>\n
So, I had a 4GB Pi4 as well as a Sandisk Extreme external SSD. First step was to get the latest Raspbian (Buster) in an SD card and booting. Once that was accomplished I installed Apache2 and got that working properly. MySQL \/ MariaDB was the next cab off the rank followed by PHP and php-mysql.<\/p>\n
After each step it’s a damn good idea to make good and sure that what you’ve just installed works properly.<\/p>\n
Downloading and installing WordPress was quite possibly the easiest part of the whole process.<\/p>\n
For each of the LAMP components there is a heap of available documentation available – remember that Google is your friend. The Raspberry Pi Forums<\/a> are a brilliant resource. The MariaDB documentation<\/a> is comprehensive to say the least as is the PHP documentation.<\/a> There is more WordPress<\/a> documentation than any mortal could ever want.<\/p>\n So, the steps I followed were :-<\/p>\n This <\/a>is a much more complete HOWTO.<\/p>\n Once I got it all working I set about getting all my stuff over from an ISP’s server. Lots of copying and pasting is all it took.<\/p>\n Once I got it all over I started messing around with WordPress themes and layouts. The choices are bewildering and the theme and layout of this site is a “first attempt mess” which I’ll refine as I work out what I want and how to get there.<\/p>\n At this point I decided that a 32GB SD card probably wouldn’t be enough so I decided to press a Sandisk Extreme 500GB SSD into service. I found a great HOWTO on the\u00a0 Raspberry Pi Forums<\/a> and it worked first time. I’ll put that procedure into another post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is not intended to be a complete HOWTO for Linux (Raspbian), Apache2, PHP, MySQL and\u00a0 WordPress on a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB.
