Installing on an Intranet

  • I’m on an intranet and think that blogging software could be a very useful way of making very quick and simple news updates to use within the computer network.

    Virtually all instructions I can find for setting up WordPress are assuming that the server is hosted remotely and already has everything such as MySQL and PHP etc installed and set up with a database ready to use.

    My question is how do I go about setting up the server ready to use WordPress? I constantly see the word database everywhere on tutorials but not sure what I need to use or do to get one working.

    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

  • Your server will need Apache, MySQL, and PHP installed at a minimum. Once that’s done, start at the Codex and see if you can follow how to set up WordPress.

    Okay, well I know we definately have Apache and I think there’s MySQL and PHP installed but I’m not entirely sure because the guy who used to be employed as the system administrator packed in and left and so we’re not sure about everything that’s been installed on here. Until we get a new system administrator I’m taking over those duties temporarily.

    What’s the easiest way to determin if I have MySQL and PHP installed (and what version)? The OS is Windows2000 Server.

    Thanks ??

    We have it installed on an intranet system running on Windows200server and it works fine. I can highly recommend Easy Web Server [https://e.w.s.free.fr/site/]- it works very well.

    The only issue is trying to redirect some uri’s internally when we may be referring to a local directory etc.

    My next challenege though is to install GD for images. I hve a nice little gallery package I want to try and we don’t have GD installed.

    Fun times ahead…

    Could u please help me out on these issues?

    1. Can I install wordpress software on my intranet which is available only to my employees? If yes, then what do I need to have in terms of softwares so that WordPress is installed properly on my corporate intranet?

    2. Also, Can i have a predefined workflow process installed in WordPress?

    3. Can i use my existing address book (already present in my intranet) to authorize and authenticate people to use WordPress?

    It would be a great help if u could reply as soon as possible?

    I recommend asking that question in an Apache support forum. We only support WordPress here.

    Does anyone know where the Apache support forum is?

    Thanks!

    By the way, does wordpress even NEED apache????

    I’m confused!!! Does anyone know of a tutorial to setup WordPress on an intranet?

    You need to get Apache, MySQL and PHP working before WordPress will work. The setup you need is called WAMP if you’re using Windows, and LAMP if you’re using Linux. Maybe you can google for that. From your post before, it sounds like you Apache running but it’s not configured right. Sorry, I don’t know much about Apache.

    Anyway, I fixed EVERYTHING!!!

    Hi Ozzapoo,
    I installed WP on WAMP following the guide fro, urbangiraffe.com. My PC name is xyz01.
    So, if i do https://xyz01, the blog appears, but other users on the intranet do not see the styles, images etc as it appears on the page as https://localhost/wp-admin/x.jpg
    Any idea as to how this can be resolved ?
    thanks in advance
