The Raspberry Pi is a little computer that you can get for as low as US $35 and on which you can run many different types of software and build many different projects. In this article, I’m going to guide you through the process of setting it up as a home development server and deploying a full-stack JavaScript application that you can access from outside your network. By following this resource and setting up a web server and WordPress website you will learn how to: Install software on your Raspberry Pi Install and configure Apache, PHP, and MySQL to create a LAMP web server Download WordPress and run it as a local website on your Raspberry Pi.
Hello,
I’ve been trying to set up WordPress on my Raspberry Pi using this guide
I’ve installed everything and set up a database on MySQL. I try logging in via the web browser and record the correct user and password, but I always get a page saying that it wasn’t able to establish a connection with a server.
Is anyone able to help?
Having same problem, not completley new to linux, but new to setting up a lamp server and bought ‘raspberry pi 3’ to learn how to set up and use a lamp to be able to learn how to process data sent from my website and have the resualts returned to my site. Anyway, I too stumbled upon the same tutorial and am experiancing the same problem, or close to it. Instead of popping up the install webpage for wordpress, it is just popping up the php code in my browser that sounds like it should be redirecting me to the site but its not… I have questions but I don’t want to hijack this thread and will stay posted to see what comes of this thread before starting my own. Thank you for any help.
ok ill let you know how it works, thanks for timley response!!! 🙂 Mac finder app for ipad.
Raspberry Pi Wordpress Step By Step

Mac os bootable iso for hyper v. Set up my raspberry pi today and connected to my network via WIFI, then followed this guide . I found the ip address of the raspberry pi using hostname -I, then when I type this into my web address from another LAN computer, I’m able to pull up the wordpress site. However, when I use this ip address followed by /wp-admin, I’m unable to access the admin panel. How can I access the admin panel from another local computer?
Set up my raspberry pi today and connected to my network…
…I found the ip address of the raspberry pi using hostname -I, then when I type this into my web address from another LAN computer.Assign your Pi a static IP address on your own LAN, example: 192.168.x.x, then install WordPress on the Pi using that internal IP address –
https://192.168.x.x/wp-admin/install.phpThat should let you connect to the WordPress on the Pi from any machine located on the same LAN by using the Pi IP address. I’m guessing you might have installed WordPress directly from the Pi the first time, and “localhost” may appear in your WordPress addresses. That will prevent navigating your WordPress site from any machine but the Pi.
Why can’t I use the IP address assigned to my Pi by default to navigate my wordpress site from another computer
You should be able to access the web directory on the Pi and view your front page, but because your WordPress URLs include “localhost”, you won’t be able to navigate to any other part of the site without an error. Every computer has a “localhost” or “127.0.0.1” address, so whenever you access a web address with “localhost” in the URL, the computer you are using to view the site tries to resolve the page to itself, rather than the server it’s located on.
Another consideration would be that your local network router is also probably assigning IP addresses in DHCP mode, so it’s only a matter of time (say a power down or a reboot) and the address of the Pi could change.
why should wordpress prevent this
WordPress doesn’t prevent it. It’s a server configuration issue relative to the “localhost” issue.
How do I assign my pi a static IP address on my LAN
It may vary depending on the OS you chose. Some info that will probably lead you in the right direction – (link goes to Google) assign a static ip to pi
