WordPress Tips

  • -W parameter will install WordPress as shown above, but it must still be configured through the browser.
  • By default, a MariaDB database will be set up using this script. You can also specify another DB if needed, using the --with-mysql or --with-percona flags.
  • If you already have a WordPress installation running on another server, it can be imported into LiteSpeed with no hassle using the --wordpresspath parameter.
  • To completely install WordPress with your LiteSpeed installation, skipping the need for the browser installation process, use --wordpressplus [SITEDOMAIN]. The --wpuser, --wppassword, --wplang, and --sitetitle flags allow you to further customize the settings.
