The following procedures will help you install, configure, and secure a WordPress blog on your Amazon Linux 2 instance. This tutorial is a good introduction to using Amazon EC2 in that you have full control over a web server that hosts your WordPress blog, which is not typical with a traditional hosting service.
You are responsible for updating the software packages and maintaining security patches for your server. For a more automated WordPress installation that does not require direct interaction with the web server configuration, the AWS CloudFormation service provides a WordPress template that can also get you started quickly. For more information, see Get started in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide. If you'd prefer to host your WordPress blog on a Windows instance, see Deploy a WordPress blog on your Amazon EC2 Windows instance in the Amazon EC2 User Guide for Windows Instances. If you need a high-availability solution with a decoupled database, see Deploying a high-availability WordPress website in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.

This tutorial assumes that you have launched an Amazon Linux 2 instance with a functional web server with PHP and database (either MySQL or MariaDB) support by following all of the steps in Tutorial: Install a LAMP web server on the Amazon Linux AMI for Tutorial: Install a LAMP web server on Amazon Linux 2 for Amazon Linux 2. This tutorial also has steps for configuring a security group to allow HTTP and HTTPS traffic, as well as several steps to ensure that file permissions are set properly for your web server. For information about adding rules to your security group, see Add rules to a security group.
We strongly recommend that you associate an Elastic IP address (EIP) to the instance you are using to host a WordPress blog. This prevents the public DNS address for your instance from changing and breaking your installation. If you own a domain name and you want to use it for your blog, you can update the DNS record for the domain name to point to your EIP address (for help with this, contact your domain name registrar). You can have one EIP address associated with a running instance at no charge. For more information, see Elastic IP addresses.
Use the following command to install the PHP graphics drawing library on Amazon Linux 2. For example, if you installed php7.2 from amazon-linux-extras as part of installing the LAMP stack, this command installs version 7.2 of the PHP graphics drawing library.
In a web browser, type the URL of your WordPress blog (either the public DNS address for your instance, or that address followed by the blog folder). You should see the WordPress installation script. Provide the information required by the WordPress installation. Choose Install WordPress to complete the installation. For more information, see Step 5: Run the Install Script on the WordPress website.
If you have a domain name associated with your EC2 instance's EIP address, you can configure your blog to use that name instead of the EC2 public DNS address. For more information, see Changing The Site URL on the WordPress website.
Through this article, I will make know how you could develop a working website with very little knowledge and could even host it using your Linux box. Things could be as simple as that.
Which means php is installed and working correctly. Now you can build your website in your Apache directory, however, it is not always a good idea to reinvent a wheel again and again.
Search for the inet addr:192.168.1.2 here 192.168.1.2 is my local IP. Any computer on your LAN including you could refer to your hosted web page using this address.
The following procedures help you install an Apache web server with PHP and MariaDB (a community-developed fork of MySQL) support on your Amazon Linux 2 instance (sometimes called a LAMP web server or LAMP stack). You can use this server to host a static website or deploy a dynamic PHP application that reads and writes information to a database.
This tutorial assumes that you have already launched a new instance using Amazon Linux 2, with a public DNS name that is reachable from the internet. For more information, see Step 1: Launch an instance. You must also have configured your security group to allow SSH (port 22), HTTP (port 80), and HTTPS (port 443) connections. For more information about these prerequisites, see Authorize inbound traffic for yourLinux instances.
If you receive an error stating sudo: amazon-linux-extras: command not found, then your instance was not launched with an Amazon Linux 2 AMI (perhaps you are using the Amazon Linux AMI instead). You can view your version of Amazon Linux using the following command.
If any of the required packages are not listed in your output, install them with the sudo yum install package command. Also verify that the php7.2 and lamp-mariadb10.2-php7.2 extras are enabled in the output of the amazon-linux-extras command.
For more information about registering a domain name for your web server, or transferring an existing domain name to this host, see Creating and Migrating Domains and Subdomains to Amazon Route 53 in the Amazon Route 53 Developer Guide.
Now you've created (and tested) an awesome LocalLibrary website, you're going to want to install it on a public web server so that it can be accessed by library staff and members over the internet. This article provides an overview of how you might go about finding a host to deploy your website, and what you need to do in order to get your site ready for production.
Up to now you've been working in a development environment, using the Django development web server to share your site to the local browser/network, and running your website with (insecure) development settings that expose debug and other private information. Before you can host a website externally you're first going to have to:
This tutorial provides some guidance on your options for choosing a hosting site, a brief overview of what you need to do in order to get your Django app ready for production, and a working example of how to install the LocalLibrary website onto the Railway cloud hosting service.
The server computer could be located on your premises and connected to the internet by a fast link, but it is far more common to use a computer that is hosted "in the cloud". What this actually means is that your code is run on some remote computer (or possibly a "virtual" computer) in your hosting company's data center(s). The remote server will usually offer some guaranteed level of computing resources (CPU, RAM, storage memory, etc.) and internet connectivity for a certain price.
Note: Pre-built environments can make setting up your website very easy because they reduce the configuration, but the available options may limit you to an unfamiliar server (or other components) and may be based on an older version of the OS. Often it is better to install components yourself, so that you get the ones that you want, and when you need to upgrade parts of the system, you have some idea of where to start!
Some developers will choose the increased flexibility provided by IaaS over PaaS, while others will appreciate the reduced maintenance overhead and easier scaling of PaaS. When you're getting started, setting up your website on a PaaS system is much easier, and so that is what we'll do in this tutorial.
Note: If you choose a Python/Django-friendly hosting provider they should provide instructions on how to set up a Django website using different configurations of web server, application server, reverse proxy, and so on. (this won't be relevant if you choose a PaaS). For example, there are many step-by-step guides for various configurations in the Digital Ocean Django community docs.
The good news when you're starting out is that there are quite a few sites that provide "free" computing environments that are intended for evaluation and testing. These are usually fairly resource constrained/limited environments, and you do need to be aware that they may expire after some introductory period or have other constraints. They are however great for testing low traffic sites in a hosted environment, and can provide an easy migration to paying for more resources when your site gets busier. Popular choices in this category include Railway, Python Anywhere, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, etc
SQLite, the default Django database that you've been using for development, is a reasonable choice for small to medium websites. Unfortunately it cannot be used on some popular hosting services, such as Heroku, because they don't provide persistent data storage in the application environment (a requirement of SQLite). While that might not affect us on Railway, we'll show you another approach that will work on Railway, Heroku, and some other services.
Note that Django will use the SQLite database during development by default, unless DATABASE_URL is set. You can switch to Postgres completely and use the same hosted database for development and production by setting the same environment variable in your development environment (Railway makes it easy to use the same environment for production and development). Alternatively you can also install and use a self-hosted Postgres database on your local computer.
Django templates refer to static file locations relative to a static tag (you can see this in the base template defined in Django Tutorial Part 5: Creating our home page), which in turn maps to the STATIC_URL setting. Static files can therefore be uploaded to any host and you can update your application to find them using this setting.
First open a terminal or command prompt in a git clone of your locallibrary project. Then login to your browser account using the login or login --browserless command (follow any resulting prompts and instructions from the client or website to complete the login):
