# mkdir -pv /data/web/
# mkdir -pv /data/mysql

4 Start NFS service

# systemctl start nfs.service

2 Client Configuration

1 Mount shared directories

(1) Create mount point # mkdir /var/www/html/ (2) Mount /data/web to /var/www/html and /data/mysql to /var/lib/mysql

# mount -t nfs 192.168.29.120:/data/web/ /var/www/html/
# mount -t nfs 192.168.29.120:/data/mysql/ /var/lib/mysql/

2 Install LAMP stack

# yum install httpd mariadb-server php php-mysql -y

# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/vhost.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
ServerName www.mywordpress.com
<Directory "/var/www/html">
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

# mkdir /var/www/html

# httpd -t
# systemctl start httpd.service

Extract the WordPress tarball and copy files to DocumentRoot.

# tar -xf wordpress-4.7.4-zh_CN.tar.gz
# cp -a wordpress /var/www/html/

Set write permission for wp-content.

# chmod o+w /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/

# vim /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-config.php
define('DB_NAME','wordpress');
define('DB_USER','test1');
define('DB_PASSWORD','123456');
define('DB_HOST','localhost');

create database wordpress;
create user 'test1'@'localhost' identified by '123456';
