Be my guest @bgallagh3r - it was your script that got this going in the first place after all!

great @emirpprime! thanks!

This is a fantastic script. One oddity I've noticed and this occurs on both your version and bgallagh3r/wp.sh:

It seems like the password field being written to wp-config.php is stripping out meta characters. So if I enter a password that looks like: wordp355u$3r, the dollar sign and the character following it are stripped out becoming:

wordp355ur

I've tried something like:

perl -pi -e "s/password_here/\\Q${dbpass}/g" wp-config.php

But that doesn't solve the issue, and my Perl isn't very good. Any thoughts?

@maiorano84 - I haven't had time to test it yet, but this might do it: perl -pi -e "s/password_here/\Q$dbpass\E/g" wp-config.php or perhaps perl -pi -e "s{password_here}{\Q$dbpass\E}g" wp-config.php (they should be identical in function but the latter is a bit easier to read)

@maiorano84 @bgallagh3r If you're still using this / something similar and getting the 'special characters in passwords' problems, the latest revision should have that fixed now. Apparently using quotes as sed delimiters prevents interpretation of special characters. I'm still not preventing breaking characters being used in the user input, but it's a lot better than it was.

@emirpprime Nice job. I'm wondering, what are all you hardening ? Looks good, but I like to understand what I'm executing. :-)

Thanks.

@GabrielDancause sorry i missed your comment. Hardening will:

• disallow directly editing plugin / theme files in the admin area
• only allow plugin and core updates to be done if you supply the key (?key=YOUR_KEY_FOR_UPDATING); e.g. go to sites.com/wp-admin/?key=YOUR_KEY_FOR_UPDATING - then you will be able to update plugins etc.
• protect the .htaccess / .htpasswd and wp-config.php files
• remove a couple of files that tell people what version of WordPress you are running
• setup the 6G 'firewall' from Perishable Press
• prevent author enumeration
• stop people directly accessing the wp-includes directory
• only allow people to access certain file extensions in /uploads

It definitely needs some configuration for your setup. But it would run ok if you use it straight off as long as you either create a htpasswd file called wp-login and put it at /etc/apache2/ on your server, or just comment out the Staging section of the htauth config in the .htaccess file in the wordpress root directory.

Great script! Works on my Synology (XPEnology) DSM 5.2
Thank you both @emirpprime and @bgallagh3r

I am using this script to create a web app ...
To download and install wordpress..
i am new to shell..
(Problem 1) one thing i don't understand why you set db pass and local pass to null..

at first it works fine but now
(Problem 2) it does not read harden key and won't download and install wordpress ..

i am using this script to access localhost and after few tries my phpmyadmin won't allow me to access it.
(Problem 3) i have to uninstall and reinstall my server..

(Problem 4) though i managed to download wordpress and create database but it does not install wordpress and do not create tables in database..

(ignore grammar mistakes -- thank You :) )

same here, wordpress is downloaded & installed but tables are missing in the DB
