I have spent around 6 hours trying to get it to work
Error establishing a database connection thats about as far as I cant seem to get it to work right

All the guides I seem to find dont work I guess php was updated or changed, and the guides are yet to be updated?

I have setup word press on amazon ec2
http://ec2-18-217-38-201.us-east-2.comp ... p&reauth=1

I all so set up word press using Ubuntu server (x86)

i used Ubuntu server for arm and after a apt-get dist-upgrade it broke the kernel and just boot looped

so I changed to
RASPBIAN STRETCH LITE that seems stable
I have had no problems updating it

here is a example of a guide i used but there more or less all the same

https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/pro ... -wordpress

all the guides use this for php
sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 -y

I just get this so it clearly broken or changed

Package php5 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

I did setup php but i was a random command I found.

I dont know Linux well enough to try to trouble shoot this , Sorry for the bad spelling its a bit late here.

I have a good working backup of my sd card before the install im able to setup ssh and get in that way.

If some one knows of a good up to day working guide Im sure I can figure it out. its very hard to figure out with some ver of php working and others not.

Thanks for taking the time to ready my post

Seems like PHP7 is the version to use on Stretch. ( ref: https://www.techcoil.com/blog/setting-u ... emp-stack/ )

So use "apt-cache search" command to find the new package names you need.
for example: Basic Debian Stretch guides usually work well on Raspbian also:

word press never starts
php is running

This appears to be discussed, along with a workaround that is acknowledged to work, on the github Issues page for the Raspberry Pi Foundation documentation on this topic.
