This repo contains wordpress v5.4.2 source and it's for learning purpose.

NOTE: These are Zemian's note. There is a readme.html from the original WordPress source that's not related to this readme.

Installation

See Installation Guide

1. Setup DB on MacOSX

brew install services mysql
brew services start mysql

mysql -u root

CREATE USER 'zemian'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY 'test123';
CREATE DATABASE wordpress CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wordpress.* TO 'zemian'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

NPTE: If you are using PHP 7.4 with mysqli, then you need to use mysql_native_password. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50026939/php-mysqli-connect-authentication-method-unknown-to-the-client-caching-sha2-pa

Tips: Convert existing DB to use utf8

ALTER DATABASE wordpress CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci;

2. Setup wp-config.php

• Use https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ to generate uique IDs

3a. Setup php

The /usr/bin/php that comes with MacOX does not include php-cgi ?

We can try to install latest version with brew install php

Alternative option: Installing php by building from source

1. Download source php-7.4.9.tar.gz
2. Run brew install libiconv
3. Run ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-iconv=/usr/local/opt/libiconv --enable-sockets --with-mysqli=mysqlnd
4. Run make
5. Run sudo make install

NOTE: PHP 7 uses option --with-mysqli instead of --with-mysql. The mysqlnd is a PHP native driver.

3. Setup a web server

1. Run brew install lighttpd
2. Run lighttpd -D -f lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
3. Open http://localhost:3000/

4. Run wordpress install script

http://localhost:3000/wp-admin/install.php
