Before beginning, a domain, an ESC or a VPS are needed. Once the ECS or the VPS and the domain are prepared, the following procedures can be conducted.

Detailed steps are as followings:

·        Install LAMP services (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).

input these commands:

1. Install Apache, MySQL, and PHP

yum -y install httpd mysql mysql-server php php-mysql php-gd php-xml

2. Set up httpd and mysqld to start with system

systemctl enable httpd.service

yum install httpd
yum install httpd-devel

yum install php php-pear

wget http://wordpress.org/latest.zip

cd /var/www/html/
cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
vim wp-config.php

Press ‘i’ to write, insert database name, user name and user password. Others remain the same.

Press ‘Esc’ to exit writing mode. Double press ‘Shift’ + ‘z’ to exit the file.

Then, go to your domain to finish WordPress set up.

I used Wanwang to register a domain and Aliyun to set up an ECS. The discounts for students and Double 11th are very attractive. As for the other services in its store, I have not used them yet.
