Wordpress mysql aws custom code

1. Create an RDS Instance:
- Go to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the RDS dashboard.
- Click on "Launch DB instance" and select the database engine as MySQL.
- Choose the instance type and configure the database settings.
- Create the instance and note the endpoint and database credentials.

2. Create an EC2 Instance:
- Go to the AWS Management Console and navigate to the EC2 dashboard.
- Click on "Launch Instance" and select the instance type.
- Choose the Amazon Linux AMI and configure the instance details.
- Create the instance and note the public DNS name.

3. Configure the EC2 Instance:
- Connect to the EC2 instance using SSH.
- Install the necessary packages, including Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
- Configure the Apache web server to use the MySQL database.

4. Install WordPress:
- Download the WordPress package and extract it to the Apache document root.
- Configure the WordPress settings to use the MySQL database.

5. Configure WordPress to Use RDS:
- Update the `wp-config.php` file to use the RDS instance.
- Define the database name, username, password, and host in the `wp-config.php` file.

6. Configure SSL for RDS:
- Add the following lines to the `wp-config.php` file to enable SSL:

php
     define('MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS', MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL | MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL_DONT_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT );
     define('MYSQL_SSL_CA', '/var/www/BaltimoreCyberTrustRoot.crt.pem');
     

7. Test the Connection:
- Create a test file to verify that the connection is encrypted.

8. Deploy and Test:
- Deploy the changes and test the WordPress site.

Here is a sample `wp-config.php` configuration for using RDS with SSL:

php
<?php
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define( 'DB_NAME', 'wordpress' );

/** MySQL database username */
define( 'DB_USER', 'your_rds_username' );

/** MySQL database password */
define( 'DB_PASSWORD', 'your_rds_password' );

/** MySQL hostname */
define( 'DB_HOST', 'your_rds_endpoint' );

// ** Authentication Unique Keys and Salts. ** //
define( 'AUTH_KEY', 'your_unique_phrase_here' );
define( 'SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'your_unique_phrase_here' );
define( 'LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'your_unique_phrase_here' );
define( 'NONCE_KEY', 'your_unique_phrase_here' );
define( 'AUTH_SALT', 'your_unique_phrase_here' );
define( 'SECURE_AUTH_SALT', 'your_unique_phrase_here' );
define( 'LOGGED_IN_SALT', 'your_unique_phrase_here' );
define( 'NONCE_SALT', 'your_unique_phrase_here' );

// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
define( 'MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS', MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL | MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL_DONT_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT );
define( 'MYSQL_SSL_CA', '/var/www/BaltimoreCyberTrustRoot.crt.pem' );
