  • Hey all! I wasnt sure how to word this ina search, so if this has been posted already, I appologise in advance. Im starting up on a Raspberry Pi2 and im to the point where you will out the server info and get teh text to put in the config file in these steps:
    https://www.raspberrypi.org/learning/lamp-web-server-with-wordpress/worksheet/

    When I hit install, it just takes me back and tells me everything I just entered is gone, even though its in the file I just edited.

    The page it keeps goibg back to is this one:

    “Welcome to WordPress. Before getting started, we need some information on the database. You will need to know the following items before proceeding.

    Database name
    Database username
    Database password
    Database host
    Table prefix (if you want to run more than one WordPress in a single database)”

    No matter how many times I save it, it doesnt save. Any help is appereciated.

  • Download fresh WordPress(current v4.3) and upload it. And let me know this one helps you or not?

    So I shoudl uninstall the new install and reinstall it and try again? The only reason I ask is because this is a fresh install.

    It is up to you.

    I feel ridicouls, but I cant get it to remove the server. I tried the purge command but says its teh wrong syntax/

    It’s quite simple just login to your cPanel and delete the WordPress core file from there. Download fresh WordPress and upload it. You can delete your database also.
    If you facing any problem regarding this then I am happy to help you.

    Not sure what you mean by cpannel. Do you mean in the Gui? All teh posts are command line

    Not sure what you mean by cPannel.

    cPanel is a Linux based web hosting control panel that provides a graphical interface and automation tools designed to simplify the process of hosting a web site.
    cPanel Login URL Should be look like this.
    for ex: yourwebsite.com/cpanel
    If you are not sure about cPanel then you can delete/upload your WordPress core file through FTP also.
    Please let me know where you host your site. Is it Linux Server?

    It is, but its not public yet. Its local. So I guess the “ip address/cpanel”?

    You are running your site in localhost. Then it is simple. Delete WordPress Files from there. Or you can install from fresh.

    How exactly did you set up the server? Did you manually install Apache? MySQL? And PHP? Using just the command line? (see’s the link you posted). Ah yes. Okay.

    So it sounds like you get everything going up until it’s time to configure the wp-config.php file using WordPress’ installer functionality.

    So instead of doing that, I want you to use nano (or some other text editor tool you have access to) to manually create the wp-config.php file instead of using WordPress’ installer. You can actually use the wp-config-sample.php file as a template to start from. Fill in the database details inside of that and then save it as ‘wp-config.php’.

    If that still doesn’t work, I would then start looking at your error logs and checking to see if WordPress has the proper permissions to run correctly on your setup.

    It is up to you
