When your WordPress CMS grows in traffic and you have outgrown your current server resources, a professional solution is to host your database on a separate database server. With this solution, you can optimize your database and your web server independently and both servers can grown on it&#8217;s own machine. In this tutorial we will guide you on how to configure WordPress to use a remote database, on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/centos-hosting.html\">CentOS 7 based VPS.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Requirements<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In order to run WordPress on your CentOS 7 VPS and configure it to use a remote database, we need the following requirements pre-installed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Web VPS on which we will install the WordPress instance.<\/li>\n<li>A Database VPS with MariaDB or MySQL installed on it. The database will be hosted on this VPS.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>WordPress requires the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Web server: Apache, Nginx<\/li>\n<li>PHP version 7.2 or newer, with JSON support, mbstring, zip and GD2 extensions.<\/li>\n<li>MariaDB version 10.0 or greater or MySQL database server version 5.6 or newer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Step 1: Log in via SSH on both servers:<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Log in to each VPS via SSH as user root<\/p>\n<pre>ssh roo@IP_Address -p Port_number<\/pre>\n<h3><strong>Step 2: Update all packages<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once you are logged, run the following command on both servers to make sure that all installed RPM packages are up to date<\/p>\n<pre>yum -y update<\/pre>\n<h3><strong>Step 3: Install MariaDB server <\/strong><strong>on the Database VPS<\/strong><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<pre>yum -y mariadb mariadb-server<\/pre>\n<h3><strong>Step 4: Install LAMP stack on a Web VPS<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned in the requirements section of the tutorial, a LAMP stack (Apache, MySQL\/MariaDB and PHP) is required to run WordPress on the server. We will start with installing the Apache web server:<\/p>\n<pre>yum -y install httpd<\/pre>\n<p>After the Apache installation is complete, start the web server and enable it to start upon server boot:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl enable httpd<\/pre>\n<p>PHP 5.4 is installed on CentOS 7 by default.<\/p>\n<p>In order to install and use PHP 7.2, we need to install EPEL and REMI\u00a0repositories:<\/p>\n<pre>yum install epel-release\r\n\r\nrpm -Uvh http:\/\/rpms.remirepo.net\/enterprise\/remi-release-7.rpm\r\n\r\nyum install yum-utils\r\n\r\nyum-config-manager --enable remi-php72\r\n\r\nyum update<\/pre>\n<p>Next, install PHP 7.2 along with the required PHP extensions:<\/p>\n<pre>yum -y install php php-cli php-mbstring php-gd php-mysqlnd php<code>-xmlrpc\u00a0php-xml\u00a0php-zip\u00a0php-curl<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>And finally, complete the LAMP installation by installing MariaDB client package:<\/p>\n<pre>yum -y install mariadb mariadb-server<\/pre>\n<p>Start the service and set it to start on reboot<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl start mariadb\r\nsystemctl enable mariadb<\/pre>\n<p>To accept remote connections, edit the MariaDB configuration file (\/etc\/my.cnf.d\/server.cnf) and change the following line:<\/p>\n<pre>bind-address = 127.0.0.1<\/pre>\n<p>with:<\/p>\n<pre>bind-address = web_server_IP_address<\/pre>\n<p>Do not forget to replace &#8216;web_server_IP_address&#8217; with the public IP of the web server.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to configure MariaDB to listen on all interfaces on the web VPS, set:<\/p>\n<pre>bind-address =\u00a00.0.0.0<\/pre>\n<p>Restart MariaDB for the changes to take effect:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl restart mariadb.service<\/pre>\n<h3>Step 5: Create a MariaDB database for WordPress on the Database VPS<\/h3>\n<p>Log in to MariaDB console with the root user account:<\/p>\n<pre># mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n<p>Create a new MariaDB database for WordPress using the following query:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql&gt; CREATE DATABASE wpdb;<\/pre>\n<p>Create a new MariaDB user for WordPress using the following query:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql&gt; CREATE USER 'wpuser'@'localhost';\r\nmysql&gt; CREATE USER 'wpuser'@'database_VPS_IP';<\/pre>\n<p>Then execute the following query to add a separate user for WordPress that will interact with the MariaDB database:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql&gt; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wpdb.* to 'wpuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '5tr0ng_Pa55w0rd';\r\nmysql&gt; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON wpdb.* to 'wpuser'@'database_VPS_IP' IDENTIFIED BY '5tr0ng_Pa55w0rd';<\/pre>\n<p>Do not forget to replace database_VPS_IP with the actual IP address of the database VPS .<\/p>\n<p>Execute the following command to apply the privileges we set:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql&gt; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;<\/pre>\n<p>Now we can exit the MariaDB session:<\/p>\n<pre>mysql&gt; quit<\/pre>\n<h3>Step 6: Configure the MariaDB server on database VPS to listen on public IP (or all interfaces)<\/h3>\n<p>Edit the MariaDB configuration file (\/etc\/my.cnf.d\/server.cnf) and change the following line:<\/p>\n<pre>bind-address = 127.0.0.1<\/pre>\n<p>with:<\/p>\n<pre>bind-address = database_server_IP_address<\/pre>\n<p>Or, configure MariaDB to listen on all interfaces on the database VPS:<\/p>\n<pre>bind-address =\u00a00.0.0.0<\/pre>\n<p>Restart MariaDB for the changes to take effect:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl restart mariadb.service<\/pre>\n<h3><strong>Step 7: Install WordPress on the Web VPS<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Download the latest WordPress version available at\u00a0https:\/\/wordpress.org\/download\/ and extract it in a directory on your server:<\/p>\n<pre>wget\u00a0https:\/\/wordpress.org\/latest.zip\r\n\r\nunzip -d\u00a0\/var\/www\/html\/ latest.zip<\/pre>\n<p>Set proper permissions on WordPress files and directories:<\/p>\n<pre>chown apache:apache -R \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\/<\/pre>\n<p>Rename wp-config-sample.php WordPress configuration file to wp-config.php:<\/p>\n<pre>mv \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\/wp-config-sample.php \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\/wp-config.php<\/pre>\n<p>Edit the wp-config.php file and modify the following lines<\/p>\n<pre>vi\u00a0\/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\/wp-config.php<\/pre>\n<pre>\/** The name of the database for WordPress *\/\r\ndefine('DB_NAME', 'wpdb');\r\n\r\n\/** MySQL database username *\/\r\ndefine('DB_USER', 'wpuser');\r\n\r\n\/** MySQL database password *\/\r\ndefine('DB_PASSWORD', '5tr0ng_Pa55w0rd');\r\n\r\n\/** MySQL hostname *\/\r\ndefine('DB_HOST', 'database_VPS_IP');<\/pre>\n<h3>Step 8: Configure Apache to serve WordPress<\/h3>\n<p>Now we will have to setup the Apache configuration so it can serve the WordPress directory. Add the contents below in the \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/wordpress.conf file using vi or your favorite editor:<\/p>\n<pre># vi \/etc\/httpd\/conf.d\/wordpress.conf<\/pre>\n<p>Add the following lines:<\/p>\n<p>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;<br \/>\nServerAdmin admin@your-domain.com<br \/>\nDocumentRoot \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress<br \/>\nServerName your-domain.com<br \/>\nServerAlias www.your-domain.com<\/p>\n<p>Alias \/matomo &#8220;\/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\/&#8221;<br \/>\n&lt;Directory \/var\/www\/html\/wordpress\/&gt;<br \/>\nOptions +FollowSymlinks<br \/>\nAllowOverride All<\/p>\n<p>&lt;\/Directory&gt;<\/p>\n<p>ErrorLog \/var\/log\/httpd\/wordpress-error_log<br \/>\nCustomLog \/var\/log\/httpd\/wordpress-access_log common<br \/>\n&lt;\/VirtualHost&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Save the changes and restart Apache for the changes to take effect:<\/p>\n<pre>systemctl restart httpd<\/pre>\n<p>Open http:\/\/your-domain.com in your favorite web browser and finish the WordPress installation.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations.
