I don't use WordPress (I don't need the stress of coping with *all* its security flaws, and I write my own pages directly in HTML+CSS), but you'll find that without deliberately installing extras, you'll only get basic facilities. Though, maybe you don't need them all, it'll depend on what you're doing with it. That'll be why they're not automatically dragged in when you install it - there are various kinds of databases, you only need the one(s) you're going to use, and often you can choose your poison rather than it insisting on a particular one. My basic webserver install on Fedora didn't install anything that interpreted PHP, but I'd expect that it'd get dragged in as a dependency if you install something like WordPress that heavily uses PHP. That part of your install surprises me. * Over the many years I've run a HTML & CSS only website, I've seen countless failed hack attempts in the logs on the various front-ends and back-ends that I don't have installed, it's on-going and never- ending. I find it easy enough to hand craft what I want to do, and I can make it do whatever it can do, as opposed to learning all the foibles of a content manager system, and be stuck with all its limitations (I really dislike fill-in-the-blanks template systems). There's also lock-in to consider, I can move my website files over to any different webserver, and it'll just work. I don't expect it to be that easy if I were using one of the various publishing systems. But it's all a matter of what you want to do, and which you feel more comfortable at learning. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.92.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 20 11:48:01 UTC 2023 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
