How to set up WordPress with Forge when using an AWS RDS database?

Hey @ralphmrivera

Just create an empty site with forge on your server. Then SSH to it and install wordpress:

wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
Then unzip the package using:
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz

Then change IP od your MySQL server to RDS one.

I still do not understand WHY 😀

Thanks @aurawindsurfing ,

I ended up with a similar solution. Here's my script:

wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz; # grab the latest WordPress
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz; # explode!
mv  -v ./wordpress/* ./ # Move the contents out of the "wordpress" folder and into the root of the site.
cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php; # set up the confg file.
rm latest.tar.gz; # Start some cleanup.
rm wp-config-sample.php;
rm -R wordpress;
