To install WordPress on QTS 5.0, you will need to follow these steps:
- Install a web server: QTS 5.0 comes with the Apache web server pre-installed. You will need to enable it in the Control Panel under “Applications” > “Web Server”. You can also install other web server software like Nginx or Lighttpd if you prefer.
- Install PHP: QTS 5.0 comes with PHP pre-installed, but you may need to install additional PHP modules depending on the requirements of WordPress. You can do this using the App Center or by logging in to your QTS system via SSH and running the necessary commands.
- Install a database server: You will need to install a MySQL or MariaDB database server to store the data for your WordPress site. You can install this using the App Center or by logging in to your QTS system via SSH and running the necessary commands.
- Download WordPress: Download the latest version of WordPress from the official WordPress website and extract the contents of the ZIP file to a folder on your QTS system.
- Create a database: You will need to create a MySQL or MariaDB database for WordPress to store its data. You can use phpMyAdmin, which is included in QTS, to create a new database.
- Configure WordPress: Rename the file wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and open it in a text editor. Update the database settings with your database name, username, and password.
- Copy files to web server: Copy the extracted WordPress files to the web server directory. For example, if you’re using Apache, you can copy the files to the /share/Web/wordpress directory.
- Install WordPress: Open your web browser and navigate to the WordPress installation script. For example, if you copied the WordPress files to the /share/Web/wordpress directory, you can access the script by going to http://<your-QTS-IP-address>/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php.
- Complete the installation: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the WordPress installation. You will need to enter your site title, username, and password, among other things.
