Adding security back in at the end generally results in something that's not well considered or integrated. This approach often leaves security holes or making security compromises because something that "worked", in an insecure environment, doesn't when appropriate security is applied. Also, *never* turn off security contexts/options just because you don't understand them, figure them out instead. Lowering security will invariably come back to haunt. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

But you haven't told us if you're making this world accessible, or you're just trying it out on your LAN. Basically trying it out. I am not anytime soon going to use it on the internet. The two common problem with webservers are that someone finds a way to read other files (not your web pages) on your system through it, or someone finds a way to use your webserver to write things to your file system. SELinux puts barriers in the way of that. Common bad advice on the internet is about giving file permissions that the web files are owned by the web server (instead of a different user), and are writable by other users. This includes the data that things like WordPress use to create their output. Which should be stored where *only* the WordPress application can access them. You do not want them in the middle of the web server's directory tree, where someone can directly access them bypassing the handling of WordPress. WordPress is a handler. A user requests pages with a URL like www.example.com/something/thispage through your webserver, the handler looks at the "/something/thispage" part of the request and creates an output page from data it has stored elsewhere, and it sends this through the webserver. Traditionally, and sensibly, the files served as web pages are owned by the author, readable and writable by them, the "group" user permissions are unset to not readable/writable/executable and generally not used for anything, and the "other" user permissions (i.e. everyone else) are read-only. The web server reads those files as the other user, since everyone else on the internet is not the owner of the files, and should only have read-access. This gets more difficult with authoring programs (WordPress, Joomla, etc), trying to get them to work in that model. Quite why they don't understand they need to work that way eludes me. People often end up setting their files as world-writable by virtue of getting ownership and permissions wrong. e.g. They make the files readable and writeable and owned by Apache or WordPress. Now the thing that should only be reading the files to serve them, can modify them. And unknown users on the internet can modify them with carefully crafted URLs. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

One does not normally install a graphical desktop environment (and so also gui applications like firefox) on a server. In part this is because they shouldn't be needed, but also because they have the potential of creating greater security issues on what should be a rather locked down machine given what it's main function is. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue

Is > anyone familiar with Server Edition wordpress? Well, I’m familiar, ‚a bit‘. 1. Before you start installing WordPress, you should check if this is what you really want. :-) WP is a beast, a prime example of bloated software and an ongoing source of security vulnerabilities. If you need a dynamic CMS, there are really better alternatives. See https://www.cms-garden.org/en. If you have no choice, proceed. 2. The way you obviously installed WP is not meant to work. Fedora Server has no graphical interface and no graphical browser with which you can view a WP page. Rather, you install Fedora Server and software like WordPress and view the content from another machine over a network connection, not localhost. Localhost also works under certain conditions, but that is then kind of "off label use“. If you want to experiment with it, then either buy a small Rasberry Pi compatible computer (see https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/server-on-sbc/reference-list/) or install virtualization software like VirtualBox on your desktop and then Fedora Server in it. Then you can access Fedora Server and WordPress through the internal virtual network. 3. A good fist overview provides https://fedoramagazine.org/howto-install-wordpress-fedora/ 4. The steps required are approximately as follows: a) Install Fedora Server (obviously) b) Install a database. Fedora Server supports PostgreSQL (WordPress does, too) see: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/services/setup-postgresql/ When everything works, add a database and a database user for Wordpress. c) Install a Web Server. Fedora Server Supports Apache. See https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/services/httpd-basic-setup/ d) Install the WordPress Package. It automatically installs PHP as a dependency, too. e) Edit the Wordpress configuration file: […]# vim /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php • → define( 'DB_NAME', 'x' ); • → define( 'DB_USER', '' ); • → define( 'DB_PASSWORD', '' ); • → define( 'DB_HOST', '' ); Select PostgreSQL as your database and insert user name, password, etc as configured in b) f) Optionally you may adjust various parameters to your liking, e.g. the Wordpress address […]# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/wordpress.conf (edit) ## Alias /wordpress /usr/share/wordpress ## Access wordpress via base address DocumentRoot /usr/share/wordpress # Access is only allowed via local access … But probably you should not do this with a first installation. g) Adjust the Apache Wordpress configuration file […]# vim /etc/httpd/conf.d/wordpress.conf 'Require local' → 'Require all granted‘ g) Start the Web Server […]# systemctl enable httpd […]# systemctl start httpd […]# systemctl status httpd h) On your desktop start your browser and visit the WordPress graphical configuration page :80/wordpress You may also wait some days until I have finished my Fedora Server documentation article.

I don't use WordPress (I don't need the stress of coping with *all* its security flaws, and I write my own pages directly in HTML+CSS), but you'll find that without deliberately installing extras, you'll only get basic facilities. Though, maybe you don't need them all, it'll depend on what you're doing with it. That'll be why they're not automatically dragged in when you install it - there are various kinds of databases, you only need the one(s) you're going to use, and often you can choose your poison rather than it insisting on a particular one. My basic webserver install on Fedora didn't install anything that interpreted PHP, but I'd expect that it'd get dragged in as a dependency if you install something like WordPress that heavily uses PHP. That part of your install surprises me. * Over the many years I've run a HTML & CSS only website, I've seen countless failed hack attempts in the logs on the various front-ends and back-ends that I don't have installed, it's on-going and never- ending. I find it easy enough to hand craft what I want to do, and I can make it do whatever it can do, as opposed to learning all the foibles of a content manager system, and be stuck with all its limitations (I really dislike fill-in-the-blanks template systems). There's also lock-in to consider, I can move my website files over to any different webserver, and it'll just work.

Once configured, you need to look at the apache server logging (specifically the error_log) for your wp instance if/when you have trouble reaching content. Browser errors and even the access_log are of little use debugging things. For checking what's behind open ports you should become familiar with "netstat" -- the "-p" flag is specifically of use here.
