I found the documentation a bit of a headache to run through. This is a quick way to get a wordpress server up and running on Amazon Web Services.
DBPASSWORD="yourdbpassword" DBSERVERPASSWORD="yourdbserverpassword" sudo apt-get -y update sudo apt-get -y upgrade sudo debconf-set-selections <<< 'mysql-server mysql-server/root_password password yourdbserverpassword' sudo debconf-set-selections <<< 'mysql-server mysql-server/root_password_again password yourdbserverpassword' sudo apt-get -y install mysql-server sudo apt-get -y install apache2 php5 php5-mysql mercurial sudo service mysql start mysql -u root -p yourdbserverpassword CREATE USER 'wordpress-user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourdbpassword'; CREATE DATABASE `wordpress-db`; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `wordpress-db`.* TO "wordpress-user"@"localhost"; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; exit cd ~ wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz tar -xzf latest.tar.gz cd wordpress/ cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php sed -i 's/database_name_here/wordpress-db/g' wp-config.php sed -i 's/username_here/wordpress-user/g' wp-config.php sed -i 's/password_here/yourdbpassword/g' wp-config.php curl https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ >> wp-config.php sudo rm /var/www/html/index.html sudo mv * /var/www/html/ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
