Step 1 : If you have not installed the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MariaDB, PHP) yet, please follow the guide: AlmaLinux 10 Guides

Step 2 : Create a Database for WordPress

Log in to MariaDB:

sudo mariadb

Create a database and user:

CREATE DATABASE wpdatabase;
CREATE USER 'wpuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'strong_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wpdatabase.* TO 'wpuser'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Step 3 : Create Website Directory

sudo mkdir -p /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io
cd /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io

Download WordPress

wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

Extract WordPress

tar -xzf latest.tar.gz

Move Files to Web Directory

mv wordpress/* .  
rm -rf wordpress latest.tar.gz

Set Permissions

chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io  
chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io

Step 4 : Create a virtual host configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/example.devtutorial.io.conf

Add the following content:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.devtutorial.io
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io

    <Directory /var/www/html/example.devtutorial.io>
        AllowOverride All

    </Directory>

    ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/example.devtutorial.io_error.log
    CustomLog /var/log/httpd/example.devtutorial.io_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

Save and exit.
