I followed the guide here to install WordPress and it works: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-wordpress-on-centos-6–2. So basically, I have a WordPress website on CentOS – minimal other configuration
However, after scouring the internet for a few days now, I might be guilty of not seeing the wood through the trees. What I need is the following:
- SFTP access to the directory allowing additions/edits/deletions – how
to add a specific user/group and allow them access just to
/var/www/html/ - WordPress to do updates automatically – I can do the above or I can
do this point. I can’t seem to marry the two. - To be as secure as possible – even if this means allowing WordPress
to do SSH updates.
I can’t seem to find a definitive guide on the subject, just lots of various advice on CHOWNs CHMODs etc
A definitive guide would, i feel, be of use to a load of people. Me included!
I have done the following but unsure how secure it is (last command run whilst in the /var/www). When I SFTP in, I still don’t JUST see /var/www/html, I can see everything above it
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html
chown -R wp-user:wp-user /var/www
usermod -a -G apache wp-user
sudo chmod -R 775 .
Thanks,
JJ
