Build WordPress website on a CentOS 6.5 server.

@Joyfano Remember the golden rule!
Always take backup of any config file before you make any changes, so in case something goes wrong, you can always rename the backup file to original and check.

Thank you. i just learned that today. I edited my config file without any back up

I am now working on how to find the correct wp-config.php.
Is there any way/command that i can use to find it quickly? -
@Joyfano you have to know what directory your web server is using.

Finally I made it

Does wordpress not send email by itself?
Do I need to configure postfix or something manually in order for wordpress to be able to send email?
I ask because my install works great, but will not send the registration email.

http://daerma.com/Correct. WordPress does not have its own SMTP server, few things do. On Linux Postfix or SendMail would be how it is done. PHPMail just interacts with the system SMTP handling.

Postfix is installed (already was) and i just did a quick configure and it works from a command line. WordPress is still not sending email though.
This worked perfectly from SSH: echo test | mail your@emailaddress.com

Really frustrated on this. I was simply hoping to set up a basic CMS and be done. Postfix works. WordPress works. WordPress will not send an email. I can find no settings in the dashboard related to PHP mail. So I do more searching and find out there are no settings. You cannot even test. WTF.
Then I also wanted to look at a different theme. When you click install it wants FTP information? No other method. Again WTF?
Not happy with this choice ATM.

There is a plugin to disable mail but you'd know if you had installed it.

I just install themes manually, just download and unzip. Never tried anything automatic.

@scottalanmiller I have installed no plugins. I will not be installing any plugins if I am required to setup and use an FTP server on this box. I refuse to to that just for a CMS
