After a new Mint install! Personal Extras:<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get install ssh nmap vim automake autoconf module-assistant nbtscan locate libnss-winbind winbind g++ gparted intel-microcode amd64-microcode linux-firmware mysql-server wordpress apache2 samba libapache2-mod-php php-mbstring php-curl php php-mysql<\/span><\/p>\n

sudo passwd root<\/span><\/p>\n

sudo smbpasswd -a stevee<\/span><\/p>\n

To check FS every boot:
\nsudo tune2fs -c 1 \/dev\/sda1<\/span><\/p>\n

sudo vim \/etc\/samba\/smb.conf<\/span><\/p>\n

Uncomment the [homes] section - permissions according to what read\/write access you want from remote PCs:<\/p>\n

[homes]<\/span><\/p>\n

; comment = Home Directories<\/span>
\nbrowseable = 1<\/span><\/p>\n

read only = 0<\/span><\/p>\n

create mask = 0775<\/span><\/p>\n

directory mask = 0775<\/span><\/p>\n

valid users = %S<\/span><\/p>\n

To add extra shares, write them at the bottom of the file in the form:<\/p>\n

[varwww]<\/span>
\npath = \/var\/www\/<\/span>
\nwriteable = 1<\/span>
\nbrowseable = 1<\/span><\/p>\n

Save the file in vim with<\/p>\n

:wq<\/span><\/p>\n

Check it for errors:<\/p>\n

stevee@laptop:~$ testparm<\/span>
\nLoad smb config files from \/etc\/samba\/smb.conf<\/span>
\nLoaded services file OK.<\/span>
\nWeak crypto is allowed<\/span><\/p>\n

sudo service smbd restart<\/span><\/p>\n

sudo service nmbd restart<\/span><\/p>\n

TO see OS load operations at boot, remove text:<\/p>\n

sudo vi \/etc\/default\/grub<\/span><\/p>\n

GRUB_DEFAULT=0<\/span>
\nGRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden<\/span>
\nGRUB_TIMEOUT=0<\/span>
\nGRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> \/dev\/null || echo Debian`<\/span>
\nGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=\"\"<\/span>
\nGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=\"\"<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

sudo update-grub2<\/span><\/p>\n

sudo vi \/etc\/nsswitch.conf<\/span>
\nhosts: files wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns myhostname<\/span><\/p>\n

For WP to run, not just read the wp-*php files will require:<\/p>\n

sudo apt install mysql-server wordpress apache2 libapache2-mod-php php-mbstring php-curl php php-mysql<\/span><\/p>\n

sudo vi \/etc\/apache2\/sites-enabled\/000-default.conf<\/span><\/p>\n

DocumentRoot \/var\/www<\/span>
\nAlias \"\/DebianAdmin\" \"\/var\/www\/DebianAdmin\"<\/span>
\nAlias \"ElectronicsStuff\" \"\/var\/www\/ElectronicsStuff\"<\/span>
\nAlias \"wordpress\" \"\/var\/www\/wordpress\"<\/span>
\nAlias \"wp\" \"\/var\/www\/wp\"<\/span><\/p>\n

sudo vi \/etc\/apache2\/apache2.conf<\/span>
\n# Global configuration
\n#
\nServerName localhost<\/span>
\n# In vim, press \/<\/span> then search \"var\/www\", and change code to:<\/p>\n

<Directory \/var\/www><\/span>
\nOptions Indexes FollowSymLinks<\/span>
\nAllowOverride All<\/span>
\nRequire all granted<\/span>
\n<\/Directory><\/span><\/p>\n

sudo service apache2 restart<\/span><\/p>\n

Assume all wp files are unpacked into \/var\/www: Set all files to correct permissions for a localPC only (755\/644) or net access (775\/664) install:<\/p>\n

Import DBs! Before you import the sql file, change the hostname of the old site to new, and add the IP address of each PC into the \/etc\/hosts file:
\nsed -i 's\/oldname.co.uk\/localhost\/g' DebianAdmin.sql<\/span><\/p>\n

sudo vi \/etc\/hosts<\/span><\/p>\n

127.0.0.1 localhost<\/span>
\n127.0.0.1 servername<\/span>
\n192.168.1.4 servername<\/span>
\n192.168.1.6 servername ...etc<\/span><\/p>\n

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts<\/span>
\n::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback<\/span>
\nfe00::0 ip6-localnet<\/span>
\nff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix<\/span>
\nff02::1 ip6-allnodes<\/span>
\nff02::2 ip6-allrouters<\/span>
\n~<\/p>\n

sudo cp -vr Backup\/www\/* \/var\/www\/<\/span>
\nsudo chown stevee.www-data -R \/var\/www<\/span><\/p>\n

For home net access:
\nsudo find \/var\/www\/ -type d -exec chmod 775 -R {} +<\/span>
\nsudo find \/var\/www\/ -type f -exec chmod 664 -R {} +<\/span><\/p>\n

To be sure WP can updates plugins if 775\/644 doesn't allow plugin installs...
\nsudo find \/var\/www\/*\/wp-* -type d -exec chmod 777 -R {} ;<\/span><\/p>\n

including the\u00a0 .htaccess files:<\/p>\n

sudo find \/var\/www\/*\/.htaccess -type f -exec chmod 664 -R {} ;<\/span><\/p>\n

To let plugins update, you may need to open all wp-config\/ wp-admin\/ and wp-install folders:<\/p>\n

sudo find \/var\/www\/*\/wp-* -type d -exec chmod 777 -R {} ;<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nCheck plugins can update after DBs imported below.<\/p>\n

Set \/www\/ for apache2 access:
\nsudo chown stevee.www-data \/var\/www -R<\/span><\/p>\n

If Search\/Replace app is present from web and DB installed<\/p>\n

https:\/\/stevepedwards.today\/Search-Replace-DB-master\/<\/span><\/p>\n

or search\/replace on cmd line:<\/p>\n

stevee@localhost:<\/span>\/var\/www\/Search-Replace-DB-master $ .\/srdb.cli.php -h localhost -n DebianAdmin -u root -p password<\/span> -s oldPCname<\/span> -r newPCname<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Import DB
\ncp -v Backup\/www\/*sql \/var\/www\/<\/span>
\nls -l \/var\/www<\/span>
\nmysql -u root -p<\/span>
\nshow databases ;<\/span><\/p>\n

create database DebianAdmin ;<\/span>
\nuse DebianAdmin ;<\/span>
\nsource \/var\/www\/DebianAdmin.sql ;<\/span>
\ncreate database wp ;<\/span>
\nuse wp ;<\/span>
\nsource \/var\/www\/wp.sql ;<\/span><\/p>\n

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd';<\/span><\/p>\n

(If you don't want root access after adding another user, use the REVOKE command)<\/p>\n

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'stevee'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'passwd';<\/span><\/p>\n

(that last command may not work for later mysql version so log in as root and try:)<\/p>\n

create user stevee@localhost ;<\/span><\/p>\n

SET PASSWORD FOR stevee@localhost = 'pword';<\/span><\/p>\n

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'stevee'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'pword';<\/span><\/p>\n

SHOW GRANTS FOR 'stevee'@'localhost';<\/span><\/p>\n

The principle user name given access here is the name that goes into wp-config.php file for that database name.<\/p>\n

exit<\/span><\/p>\n

FOR net access from PCs, edit 127.0.0.1 bind addr :<\/p>\n

sudo vi \/etc\/mysql\/mysql.conf.d\/mysqld.cnf<\/span>

If you see: Update Recommended<\/strong> in your now (hopefully) working WP Site:<\/p>\n

Your site is running an insecure version of PHP (7.2.34-33+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1), which should be updated.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Upgrade to php7.4 using:<\/p>\n

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ondrej\/php<\/span>
\nsudo apt update<\/span>
\nsudo apt upgrade <\/span>
\nsudo apt install php7.4<\/span>

\nsudo a2enmod php7.4<\/span>
\nsudo service apache2 restart<\/span><\/p>\n

If site is https:
\nsudo a2enmod ssl<\/span><\/p>\n

To disable SSL
\nsudo a2dismod ssl<\/span>
\nsudo a2dissite default-ssl<\/span>
\nsudo service apache2 restart<\/span><\/p>\n
