#Secure mariadb. These commands do what mysql_secure_installation does interactively
mysql -e "UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('somesecurepassword') WHERE User='root';"
mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='root' AND Host NOT IN ('localhost', '127.0.0.1', '::1');"
mysql -e "DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE User='';"
mysql -e "DROP DATABASE test;"
mysql -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"

Awesome, I'll update my post when I'm not in my 2nd office.

Yeah, I was driving home last night and couldn’t dig that up for you directly.

Generally, yes.

I do.

[Alex Sage]

@bnrstnr yup, and my containers too

I do. And it’s important to have it send an email with the results of the completed updates so you can look over it.

I should note that I have an updated Fedora 27 and WordPress procedure here:

Nice job on guide. I do have a question about the theme and plugin install. Shouldn’t you using sudo -u apache wp to install themes and plugins?

Thanks.

No, it installs them just fine. I verified the files are owned by apache:apache in the directory.
If you get a warning about not using sudo -u apache, then you can. It doesn't matter.

Updated LAMP section to install Let's Encrypt SSL (https) implementation:

[hobbit666]

This is on my to-do list today. Need a clean install to compare a site that the theme has been modified and I can't see what file they've edited

@tim_g said in Installing Fedora 27 LAMP Stack plus WordPress and SSL:

Create a new secure SSH key:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "root-webserv1-key"

Hit enter for default location and name.
Hit enter again to skip passphrase creation.
Now you should SSH to server to continue.

Does this step disable normal logins or change anything at all? After my first restart my root password isn't working.

I noticed this when I was using Putty. I had to delete the saved session so it could import the new key that was generated.

Delete the session in putty? How did you do that?

I had saved the session details. I selected and deleted it then opened a new SSH session.

This only generates a new certificate and does not do anything else. If your root password is not working, maybe you are typing it in incorrectly, or it's something else entirely, as what @NashBrydges is referring to. If you are using Putty, perhaps it's caching the old public key.
