🔅 Create an AWS EC2 instance 🔅 Configure the instance with Apache Webserver. 🔅 Download php application name "WordPress". 🔅 As wordpress stores data at the backend in MySQL Database server. Therefore, you need to setup a MySQL server using AWS RDS service using Free Tier. 🔅 Provide the endpoint/connection string to the WordPress application to make it work.


  1. Create an EC2 Instance:

  • Go to the AWS Management Console (https://aws.amazon.com/).
  • Navigate to the EC2 dashboard.
  • Click on "Launch Instance."
  • Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that fits your requirements. For example, select "Amazon Linux 2 AMI."
  • Choose an instance type (preferably a Free Tier eligible instance).
  • Configure the instance details as required (subnet, security group, etc.).
  • Review and launch the instance, creating or selecting an existing key pair for SSH access.

  1. Configure Apache Web Server:

  • Connect to your EC2 instance via SSH using the private key for the selected key pair.
  • Update the system packages:

                        sudo yum update -y

  • Install Apache:
    •                         sudo yum install httpd -y

  • Start the Apache service:
                        sudo service httpd start

  • Enable Apache to start on boot:

                        csharp sudo chkconfig httpd on

  1. Download WordPress:

  • Navigate to the /var/www/html directory:

                        cd /var/www/html

  • Download the WordPress application:
                   sudo wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

  • Extract the downloaded archive:
                sudo tar -xzf latest.tar.gz

  • Rename the WordPress directory for convenience:
                sudo mv wordpress your-preferred-directory-name

  • Update the ownership and permissions:
                  sudo chown -R apache:apache your-preferred-directory-name

  1. Setup MySQL Server using AWS RDS:

  • Go to the AWS Management Console.
  • Navigate to the RDS dashboard.
  • Click on "Create database."
  • Choose "MySQL" as the engine and select the version.
  • Specify the database details, such as DB instance identifier, username, and password.
  • Configure the connectivity and security settings (choose a security group that allows access from your EC2 instance).
  • Set up the database instance size and storage options (Free Tier eligible settings if available).
  • Review the settings and create the RDS instance.

  1. Provide the Endpoint/Connection String to WordPress:

  • After the RDS instance is created, navigate to the RDS dashboard and select your newly created database instance.
  • Under the "Connectivity & security" tab, find the endpoint. It will look something like your-rds-endpoint.your-region.rds.amazonaws.com.
  • Go back to your EC2 instance and edit the wp-config.php file for WordPress:

                cd /var/www/html/your-preferred-directory-name sudo cp wp-config-sample.php wp-                               config.php sudo vi wp-config.php

  • Update the following database configuration settings with the RDS endpoint, database name, username, and password:
define('DB_NAME', 'your_database_name'); define('DB_USER', 'your_database_username'); define('DB_PASSWORD', 'your_database_password'); define('DB_HOST', 'your-rds-endpoint.your-region.rds.amazonaws.com');

  • Save and exit the file.

  1. Finalize WordPress Configuration:

  • Restart Apache to apply the changes
                    sudo service httpd restart

  1. Access WordPress:

  • Open a web browser and enter your EC2 instance's public IP address in the address bar.
  • Follow the WordPress installation wizard and provide the necessary information (e.g., site title, admin username, password, etc.).
  • Once the installation is complete, you can start using WordPress with the backend data stored in the MySQL database on your AWS RDS instance.

Creating a Python Script to Capture and Process Face Photos

Image
In this tutorial, we'll learn how to use Python and OpenCV to capture a photo, detect faces, crop the face, and save it as a grayscale image.  We'll break down the process into the following steps: Step 1: Set Up Environment: Install OpenCV using pip install opencv-python. Ensure you have a camera connected to your device. Step 2: Capture a Photo: Import the necessary OpenCV library. Open a connection to the camera using cv2.VideoCapture(0). Check if the camera opened successfully. Step 3: Detect Faces: Load the cascade classifier for face detection using cv2.CascadeClassifier. Convert the captured photo to grayscale using cv2.cvtColor. Use detectMultiScale to detect faces in the grayscale image. Step 4: Crop and Save Face: If faces are detected, select the first face and extract its coordinates. Crop the face region from the original grayscale image. Save the cropped face as a grayscale image using cv2.imwrite. Step 5: Display Cropped Face: Show the cropped face using cv2.imsh...
