Installing WordPress on TurnKey linux

TurnKey is quick setup VM. I used the Linux Apache MySql Php (LAMP) version located at: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ So lets look at this install.....


First up is what TurnKey looks like after it is setup..

Simple screen showing the addresses for the administration.

The Web interface is better,

Lets look at some of the administrative interfaces.

Web shell

Need to setup a database so wordpress has something to talk to.

Database setup screen

Setting up the "wordpress" database.

After installing the files onto the server and visiting the wordpress main directory, I see. 

So Click on "create a configuration file"

So like a normal user I didn't read it and made the file on the server.

 Then clicked the "Run the install"..

Time to connect it to the database made earlier. 

Setting up the admin account..

Success!

And now we get the wordpress login screen.

The next couple of posts will look at some of the common files left over after an typical install. Look at some key identifying features. Then I will look at some web hacking techniques against the application and difference between them on different Operating Systems.
