Wordpress and LAMP

[tristan]

Hey guys. Im probably the noobiest of noobs. Im just now learning how to use ssh for CentOS 7. Ive never used ssh ever. I have a cousin who is helping me learn a little bit and is giving me tasks to figure out on my own. So right now my task is to install a LAMP server and then install WordPress on it and be able to use it. I followed a tutorial on installing WP and such but I cant get it to pull up in my browser. If anyone knows of a good forum or tutorial for me to look at, that would be so helpful. Im really enjoying learning but I just would like for someone to give me a hand. Please let me know. Thanks

So I just tried installing wordpress on my LAMP server again. I went in and create the database, set up a user, and set a password. I put that info in my wp-config.php file and saved it and everything. So this time when I try to go to my wp-admin page in my browser I get the following error, "Not Found The requested URL /wp-admin was not found on this server.". Im not sure what to do next. I tried googling this error but havent found the answer for this issue. Let me know what it might be. Thanks

Ask your friend.
We have no idea what you have done, and your friend is your tutor.
You don't come here to "figure it out on my own".

My bad. Didnt realize ppl were such pricks here. But thanks.
I just thought that maybe this error message might be a common one and someone would know what it is.

We support what CentOS ships.
We do not do students' homework.
We can't help when no useful information is given.

Well thank you for at least responding.
I find it pretty sad when I cant even get help on the OS forums. But ok. I basically told you already what I did. What more do you need to know? But nevermind. I will just ask my cousin. I was just trying not to bother him as he is a busy guy. But since Im unable to even get help on forums I guess I will have to.

Thanks again.

probably better source of help and tutorials would be at https://www.digitalocean.com/community? ... =tutorials and http://www.howtoforge.com/howtos/linux/centos

I would look in your httpd log files for the entry corresponding to your failed attempt. They may be somewhere else in CentOS 7, but under CentOS 6 they are in: /var/log/httpd. Look in both the access_log and error_log files and see where that leads you.

I would also be tempted to try to load your web page in your browser and immediately do an "ls -ltr /var/log" afterward to see if any of those files might have just changed indicating a message in the file possibly relating to your failed attempt.

So I checked my httpd error_log and found the error its giving me now. Which is,
Cannot serve directory /var/www/html/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.php) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive.

I am currently googling this and trying to figure out what this means and how to resolve it.
