Hardware Reference
In-Depth Information
WordPress is very memory intensive. For best results, use the Pi as a
headless server
, which
is a system that runs without a graphical user interface loaded. Then use a web browser on
another computer connected to the network to access the WordPress Dashboard at
http://
ipaddress
/wordpress/wp-login.php
. Accessing the WordPress Dashboard directly on
the Pi can result in a very long wait!
TIP
he WordPress software includes an automatic update feature, which ensures that your
installation is running the latest version. Because of its popularity, WordPress is often the
target of malware attacks, and frequent updates are released to patch security holes or add
new features. However, when installed via APT, WordPress lacks the permissions required to
keep itself up-to-date. To correct this, type the following command at the terminal:
sudo chown -R www-data /usr/share/wordpress
his gives the
www-data
user—the account used by the Apache web server—the rights to
change iles located in the
/usr/share/wordpress
folder. his will allow automatic
upgrading to operate when chosen from the WordPress Dashboard.
