Install Bitnami WordPress MultiSite From Amazon Lightsail

Amazon Lightsail. Lightsail is designed to be the easiest way to launch and manage a virtual private server with AWS. Lightsail plans include everything you need to jumpstart your project – a virtual machine, SSD-based storage, data transfer, DNS management, and a static IP – for a low, predictable price.

Remove the Bitnami Banner

Log in to into your server console using SSH and execute the following command. Remember to replace APPNAME with the actual name or directory location of your application.

sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/bnconfig --disable_banner 1

Restart the Web server.

If you’re using Apache, execute the command below:
```
sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
```

bitnami@ip-172-26-5-206:~$ sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/bnconfig --disable_banner 1

Get application password

SSH username: bitnami

Wordpress Username: user

mysql username : root

The application (Wordpress and MySql) credentials are stored in a standalone file. To obtain the credentials at any time, follow these instructions:

Connect to the application through SSH.
Run the following command to see your application credentials:
```
sudo cat /home/bitnami/bitnami_credentials
```

bitnami@ip-172-26-5-206:~$ sudo cat /home/bitnami/bitnami_credentials
Welcome to the Bitnami WordPress Multisite Stack

******************************************************************************
The default username and password is 'user' and 'DgKQegPHT2zR'.
******************************************************************************

You can also use this password to access the databases and any other component the stack includes.

Please refer to https://docs.bitnami.com/ for more details.

bitnami@ip-172-26-5-206:~$

Access phpMyAdmin

Once you have your SSH client correctly configured and you have confirmed that you can successfully access your instance using SSH, you need to create an SSH tunnel in order to access phpMyAdmin. Follow these steps:

In the “Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels” section, add a new forwarded port by introducing the following values:
- Source port: 8888
- Destination: localhost:80
Remember that if you are redirecting HTTP requests to the HTTPS port, you must use destination port 443 instead of 80.

This will create a secure tunnel by forwarding a port (the “destination port”) on the remote server to a port (the “source port”) on the local host (127.0.0.1 or localhost).
Click the “Add” button to add the secure tunnel configuration to the session. You’ll see the added port in the list of “Forwarded ports”.
In the “Session” section, save your changes by clicking the “Save” button.
Click the “Open” button to open an SSH session to the server. The SSH session will now include a secure SSH tunnel between the two specified ports.
Access the phpMyAdmin console through the secure SSH tunnel you created, by browsing to http://127.0.0.1:8888/phpmyadmin.
Log in to phpMyAdmin by using the following credentials:
- Username: root
- Password: application password.

Basically MySQL Root password is same as your application initial password which you can get from following command:

sudo cat /home/bitnami/bitnami_credentials

Change MySQL Root User password

bitnami@ip-172-26-5-206:~$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:

Change Multisite Primary Domain

By default, after you installed your AWS lightsail Bitnami Wordpress Multisite image, you will get a x.x.x.x.xip.io domain name. To change domain name to the one you purchased, here are steps:

wp_options
Select the options table and look for the entries named “siteurl” and “home”
wp_site
wp_sitemeta:
Select the option named "siteurl"
wp_blogs:
Select any entries in the "domains" column that have the old domain name.
wp_#options
Each sub-site will have sets of tables that correspond to the blog_id in the wp_blogs table. You need to go to the wp#_options table, where # corresponds to the blog_id, and update the "siteurl" and "home" settings in that table.

WordPress has different rules for different fields. The wp_site and wp_blogs tables can NOT have http:// or a trailing slash at the end of the domain name, whereas in the wp_options table, it is required to have the http:// at the beginning. In the wp_sitemeta table it is required to have http:// at the beginning and a trailing slash at the end.

Be sure to comment out any pre-defined constants in your /home/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocswp-config.php file, as they will override settings in the database. Constants referring to your URL resemble the following lines of code:

define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://example.com' );
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com' );

In most cases you will need to update an entry in your wp-config.php file. The following code provides a common configuration example:

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'old.siteurl.com' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

On the line that has “define(‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’,'old.siteurl.com’);”
You will replace “old.siteurl.com” with your domain. So for example:

define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
define( 'MULTISITE', true );
define( 'SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL', true );
$base = '/';
define( 'DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE', 'newdomain.com' );
define( 'PATH_CURRENT_SITE', '/' );
define( 'SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );
define( 'BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE', 1 );

Disable bnconfig program which will automatically overwrite your mysql db and wp-config.php file during starting your server.

bitnami@ip-172-26-5-217:~/apps/wordpress$ ls
bin  bnconfig  conf  htdocs  licenses  properties.ini  tmp
bitnami@ip-172-26-5-217:~/apps/wordpress$ sudo mv bnconfig bnconfig.disable
bitnami@ip-172-26-5-217:~/apps/wordpress$ ls
bin  bnconfig.disable  conf  htdocs  licenses  properties.ini  tmp
bitnami@ip-172-26-5-217:~/apps/wordpress$ pwd
/home/bitnami/apps/wordpress
bitnami@ip-172-26-5-217:~/apps/wordpress$

Configure Outbound SMTP

Go to the “Settings -> WP Mail SMTP” panel and the “Settings” tab to configure the SMTP settings of your email provider. Select “Other SMTP” as the mailer.

Here is an example of configuring WordPress to use a Gmail account. Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your Gmail account username and password respectively.

SMTP Host: smtp.gmail.com
SMTP Port: 587
Encryption: TLS
Authentication: On
SMTP Username: [email protected]
SMTP Password: PASSWORD

Click “Save Settings” to save the changes.
Send a test email using the “Email Test” tab to ensure that everything is working smoothly.

Note: Please turn on Google Account settings: Less Secure app access
