6.2 Install on Lubuntu 20.04
-
This is for a local install of WordPress on an old laptop it should never be exposed to the net.
Setting permissions is beating me……… there are dozens of pages that proport to explain but they seem to conflict in the details. I have even tried ChatGPT and Bard, Bard is the dumber incidentally, both can produce very different answers if the same question is repeated.
1, I installed the Lampp server and phpmyadmin and they are running.
2, I downloaded the latest .tar.gz of WordPress it’s in Downloads.
3, I can log in to phpmyadmin as ‘phpmyadmin@localhost’/’mypassword’I don’t have permissions to create a database so that needs correcting.
I need to extract wordpress into the var/www/’my website’ directory, create a database and run the WordPress install.
So what do I need to do to make this happen?
Particularly creating a database user with the correct permissions, creating the database and granting the correct permissions to the extracted wordpress.
If you could explain or post a link to a suitable HowTo I’d very much appreciate it.
Thanks All Ora
