EX2 Ultra + Wordpress + PHPmyadmin

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud EX2

New to the EX2 Ultra. Purchased as the Wordpress app for offline development was also a consideration. Not a developer just a tinkerer.

Any way app installed ok, go to configure and it is asking for database addresses, logins etc. It didn’t automatically create these so I installed PHPmyadmin as well. In this app I get a - #1045 Cannot log in to the MySQL server - error

I have a website. I installed the app, didn’t have to worry about any of this, began editting Wordpress.

Anyone got any ideas as I can’t find any documentation specific to WD.

Many thanks.

Thank you. That got it working. Now, why is the PHP version not updated? I can’t do anything with Wordpress with it running on v5.4.45. Needs v5.6.20 at least for up to date Wordpress install. PHP is currently on v7.x
Please advise.

@jchen just to say, the articles on how to install WordPress app on an EX2 ultra doesn’t work & quite frankly doesn’t bear any resemblance of my experience (see image that appears nowhere or your article)

To a degree…
…sold my ex2 ultra and bought a 2nd hand synology rs815+ and made £50.

Such a far better machine

LOL!

Since asking, I figured it out.

  • install php
  • install wordpress
  • create database in php
  • configure wordpress
