Install WordPress in Rocky Linux 9
Initially, it’s required to install the “wget” command to download, extract, move, and set specific permissions for WordPress files by running the following commands.
yum install wget
Download the latest version of WordPress and make sure you put the “latest.tar.gz” at the ending (at this time the latest version of WordPress is 6.5.2):
wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
Extract the downloaded files:
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz
It’s required to move WordPress files to the Apache web server’s root directory, despite it allowing the webserver to serve the WordPress site correctly when users access it through a web browser:
cp -r wordpress/* /var/www/html/
Set the specific permissions for WordPress files, and verify the “html” directory permissions via the “ls” and “grep” commands:
chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/
chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/
ls -l /var/www | grep html
