= OPS235 Assignment 2 Introduction and Purpose =
'''Weight:''' 5% of the overall grade
'''Due Date:''' Week 12 <br /> '''Refer to your instructor for submission instructions'''
'''Submission:''' You will be submitting your completed work through a series of screenshots on Blackboard. (See below.)
<u>Install these packages using ''yum''</u>
:*Download a "zipped tar-ball" from a website (google-search), decompress, and compile
# Start the httpd service using '''systemctl'''.
# If you can't connect to it from outside the machine - perhaps your firewall is blocking access to the web server.
# Start the MySQL service (mysqld or mariadb) using '''systemctl'''.
#* If you do not see any messages, research how you can secure the MySQL installation and set the MySQL-root password.
#* Read those messages carefully, you are setting up a production MySQL server and there shouldn't be any "test" databases or anonymous users or users without a password.
# Set your MySQL root password to your Seneca e-mail username (without the ''@senecacollegemyseneca.ca '' part).
# This following part is challenging so take your time and read the instructions to make sure you do it properly, we have to set up a dedicated user and database for wordpress:
## '''NOTE: If you decide to download the wordpress package during this section, please use the 5.0.x version here (use wget): https://wordpress.org/wordpress-5.0.7.tar.gz'''
## Your hostname is localhost
Wordpress (like most web applications) is not available in the Fedora repositories, it must be downloaded and installed manually.
# Check your work so far by pointing your web browser to http://centos3/wordpress/ where you will get an error starting with "There doesn't seem to be a wp-config.php file"
# Copy the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php and edit the new file:
#* Change the DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD to the appropriate values.'''(Do not use the root account for your database connection! Marks will be deducted.)'''
# Now go back to http://centos3/wordpress/ - you should see a Wordpress Welcome/Setup page.
#* Set the title to Your Name's Blog. For example for me it would be "OPS235 Professor's Blog"
#* Click "Install Wordpress", you should see a "Success!" message.
Write a blog post on your new blog explaining:
''' Make your posts look professional. That means use good english, headings, bullet or numbered lists, etc.
Now that you've set up your blog, you must secure your firewall. The purpose of this section is to lock down your rules as much as possible.
# You must be using iptables (firewalld should be uninstalled).
# Create INPUT chain exceptions (rules) to allow connections to your blog.
# Other than the specific ports needed to access your blog, the only other allowed exception is for SSH.
# '''Tip''': Your OUTPUT chain should allow ''all'' traffic. (You can leave it at it's its default)
'''Due date:''' Check with your professor for the due dates on this assignment and how they choose to mark it. Assignments submitted after the due date will receive a grade of 0, but must still be completed satisfactorily in order to pass the course.
All screenshots must be full c7host desktop captures, and contain no errors. The fewer total images, the better. Submit through Blackboard, unless told otherwise by your professor.
* Open a Firefox window to: '''http://centos3/wordpress/'''
