How can I not run this command 'sudo amazon-linux-extras install -y lamp-mariadb10.2-php7.2 php

Time:06-29

I am following this tutorial: https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/hands-on/deploy-wordpress-with-amazon-rds/?refid=dd707452-50b0-4e41-9f2b-d84c7ca273d4 in an attempt to create my own wordpress server on ec2 / rds of AWS.

However, I DO NOT want to run this line

sudo amazon-linux-extras install -y lamp-mariadb10.2-php7.2 php7.2

because wordpress does not like php7.2. This is my second time through, and the first thing I found was that I needed to upgrade php, which does not seem possible once this is installed. I could not find any way to remove this package once installed, either. But, I can't find any "updated" way of doing this. I ended up having to blow everything away and start over.

How do I get httpd to run wordpress without this?

EDIT: The package shown shows after it is installed that it has reached end of support life.

To launch wordpress on amazon AWS ec2:

  1. Launch the instance (ubuntu), generate key pair
  2. Open ssh terminal and run following commands
//just update and upgrade apt repositories
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

//install apache2
sudo apt install apache2 -y
sudo systemctl start apache2

//install PHP
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install php -y

//i suppose above it installed php8.1 
//so installing all other related tophp8.1

sudo apt-get install php8.1-cli php8.1-common

//actually these extensions were used for laravel,
//so not all might needed for WordPress but you can install all of these

sudo apt-get install apache2 php8.1 libapache2-mod-php8.1 php8.1-curl php-pear php8.1-gd php8.1-dev php8.1-zip php8.1-mbstring php8.1-mysql php8.1-xml curl -y
sudo apt install -y php8.1-bcmath  php8.1-ctype
sudo apt-get install zip unzip php8.1-zip

sudo systemctl restart apache2

//enter ipaddress on browser, it should show localhost, if installed successfully

//install MySQL
sudo apt install mysql-server
sudo mysql 

//inside mysql tab
==============
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'NewPassword';
create database database_name;
exit;
=================

//install Wordpress 
//go to default HTML directory

cd /var/www/html

//now push file to on this directory from git, if you have it on local
// or install a new from repo
// you can consider /var/www/ as your htdocs folder in xampp

//now need to set up your DNS
// for this you can view some tutorial on `route 53` DNS hosting, you have to  allocate elastic IP address, and map your domain to this IP
  1. let's say your domain is sarojshrestha.com Next, you need to run following commands to map a domain to /var/www/html
cd /etc/apache2/sites-available

//disable default conf
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf 

//create new conf for your domain
sudo nano sarojshrestha.com.conf

//and paste this following:
<VirtualHost *:80>

    ServerName sarojshrestha.com
    ServerAlias www.sarojshrestha.com
    ServerAdmin [email protected]

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    <Directory /var/www/html/>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

</VirtualHost>

//save and exit by ctrl s and ctrl x

  1. Next, enable this one.
sudo a2ensite sarojshrestha.com

Now, hit sarojshrestha.com on browser, you should see Wordpress setup view. Replace, sarojshrestha.com with your actual domain.

By the way, to install, you might need to change the permission of /var/www/html folder. You can let me know if you find any issues.
