How To Install WordPress with nginx on Centos 6

Now open your web browser (Firefox/Google Chrome) and go to http://yourdomain.com You should see WordPress comes up with “There doesn’t seem to be a wp-config.php file. I need this before we can get started.” error since we have not configured wp-config.php file for WordPress yet.

To create wp-config.php file, click on”Create a Configuration File” button. The next screen will show WordPress requires your database information. Click on “Let’s go!” to go to the next page where we can input our database information.

Fill out Database Name, User Name, Password which we created before, leave Database Host as localhost. After you fill everything out, click “Submit”.

After you click on “Submit” from the last page, WordPress setup script will give you wp-config.php file, we are going to copy the content of wp-config.php from WordPress setup script manually and create a new wp-config.php in /usr/share/nginx/html directory.

Sample wp-config.php file, now go back to our Centos Linux shell and create wp-config.php file with the content from WordPress setup script

# nano /usr/share/nginx/html/wp-config.php

with he wp-config.php content from your WordPress setup script, don’t copy mine 🙂
