By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
... Success!
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
... Success!
By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
- Dropping test database...
... Success!
- Removing privileges on test database...
... Success!
Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
... Success!

Create Mysql database
mysql -u adminusername -p
CREATE DATABASE databasename;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databasename.* TO "root@localhost" IDENTIFIED BY "p@ssw0rd";
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Configure Mysql and link it with Wordpress wp-config.php
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
define('DB_USER', 'user');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
Try surfing to Wordpress Site to complete the installation
serverip/wp-admin/install.php
Next configure so that themes can be installed automatically
//add this line of code to wp-config.php
if(is_admin()) {
add_filter('filesystem_method', create_function('$a', 'return "direct";' ));
define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0751 );
}
Some bugs with WP meant that inorder to create folders automatically i had to edit permission to WP-Content folder
chmod 777 -R /var/www/html/wp-content
