Read Book

Prerequisites

Have a machine with Git, PHP and a MySQL database installed. The current system has been tested with PHP 7.0.33 and MariaDB 10.2.23.
For the manual installation you also need package wget and tar. To install them (on debian/ubuntu):

apt-get install wget tar nano

Install

Clone repository and launch install script:

git clone https://github.com/areynoua/readbooks.git
cd readbooks/
sudo bash install.sh

Manual Installation

These instructions were written to be able to be executed on an ubuntu machine. Commands should be equivalent for similar distributions, such as Debian.

• Clone git repository to implement own code

  git clone https://github.com/areynoua/readbooks.git
  cd readbook
  

• Download and uncompress WordPress 5.1.1

  wget https://wordpress.org/wordpress-5.1.1.tar.gz
  tar -xvzf wordpress-5.1.1.tar.gz
  

• Move WordPress code to custom code folder

  mv -n wordpress/* ./
  

• Copy wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and edit it to store the different connection information to your database.

  cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
  nano wp-config.php
  

  You need to use custom salt that you can generate here: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/
• Import saved database to your own database

  mysql -u <username> -p <database name> < wordpress.sql
  

• You must change some parameters in the database.
  • The webiste url:

  UPDATE wp_options 
  SET option_value = '<host>'
  WHERE option_name = 'siteurl' OR option_name = 'home';
  
  UPDATE wp_posts 
  SET guid = REPLACE(meta_value, 'http://readbook.ddns.net', '$host_url');
  
  UPDATE wp_postmeta 
  SET meta_value = REPLACE(meta_value, 'http://readbook.ddns.net', '$host_url');

  • The owner email address

  UPDATE wp_options 
  SET option_value = '<admin email>' 
  WHERE option_name = 'admin_email' OR option_name = 'new_admin_email';

  WHERE option_name = 'user_registration_integration_setting_recaptcha_site_key';
