I have AWS lightsail, I installed Magento 2 using bitnami. i want to install WordPress too since the client would like to have a blog as well.
I installed WordPress (not bitnami image) but located in magento bitnami installation directory. Such that the url would be example.com/blog
There's a permission problem, whatever I could can't fix it, for example can't install plugins,
Installation failed: Could not create directory.
I tried chmod 755 -R wp-content/ and the plugins/ directory and I tried adding wordpress to apache group, and so many things. Nothing fixes it, I feel it's because it's located inside betnami's folder.
You know why is this happening?
Credit goes to bitnami forum, especially Jota, thank you!. I fixed the issue by using bitnami wordpress module alongside magento. Login to the server then do
wget https://bitnami.com/redirect/to/548719/bitnami-wordpress-5.2.1-0-module-linux-x64-installer.run
chmod 755 bitnami-wordpress-5.2.1-0-module-linux-x64-installer.run
sudo ./bitnami-wordpress-5.2.1-0-module-linux-x64-installer.run
The installer should ask you to specify bitnami installation folder: /opt/bitnami
the default username for mysql on bitnami is root and you can get the password by doing cat bitnami_credentials
That password is the default password for mysql and your wordpress account, that's why you should immediately change it. The wordpress installation would be located at example.com/wordpress, which is exactly what I need, not damaging magento installation, it will be fully working.
