Wordpress is used for https://openvino.org and other project sites.
This is how wordpress is configured and installed.

Optional. Change to MariaDB 10.5
Rocky Linux App stream by default installs MariaDB 10.3, an older but incredibly stable version. However, the latest build of MariaDB at the time of this tutorial that is classed as a stable release is MariaDB 10.7, with MariaDB 10.8 being the RC candidate.
As you can imagine, the difference is pretty significant; however, as most users of Rocky Linux prefer using stability over cutting edge, a solution will be to use MariaDB 10.5 that is newer while at the same time being incredibly stable and still receiving bug fixes and security updates.
First, reset the MariaDB module list:
sudo dnf module reset mariadb [mtb@sierra ~]$ sudo dnf module enable mariadb:10.5 Last metadata expiration check: 0:01:11 ago on Thu 26 May 2022 11:05:48 PM UTC.

5. Check the MariaDB version:
[mtb@sierra ~]$ mysql --version mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.5.13-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper
6. Check MariaDB server status
Verify the status of the database software by using the following systemctl command:
[mtb@sierra ~]$ mysql --version mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.5.13-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper [mtb@sierra ~]$ sudo systemctl enable mariadb --now Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/mysql.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service.

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mariadb.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service.
7. Recheck the status:
[mtb@sierra ~]$ systemctl status mariadb

8. To stop MariaDB:
[mtb@sierra ~]$ sudo systemctl stop mariadb
9. To enable MariaDB on system startup
[mtb@sierra ~]$ sudo systemctl enable mariadb
10. To restart the MariaDB service:
[mtb@sierra ~]$ sudo systemctl restart mariadb
11. Secure MariaDB with Security Script
When installing MariaDB fresh, default settings are considered weak by most standards and cause concern for potentially allowing intrusion or exploiting hackers. A solution is to run the installation security script that comes with the MariaDB installation.
First, use the following command to launch the (mysql_secure_installation):
[mtb@sierra ~]$ sudo mysql_secure_installation
NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB
SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!
In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
haven't set the root password yet, you should just press enter here.
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...
Setting the root password or using the unix_socket ensures that nobody
can log into the MariaDB root user without the proper authorisation.
You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.
Switch to unix_socket authentication [Y/n] Y
Enabled successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!
You already have your root account protected, so you can safely answer 'n'.
Change the root password? [Y/n]
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!
By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n]
... Success!
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n]
... Success!
By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n]
- Dropping test database...
... Success!
- Removing privileges on test database...
... Success!
Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n]
... Success!
Cleaning up...
All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB
installation should now be secure.
Thanks for using MariaDB!
Install PHP & PHP-FPM (LEMP STACK)
The last part to install in your LEMP installation is PHP. You will need to install (PHP-FPM) which is short for (FastCGI Process Manager). It is highly recommended the PHP install (Remi) repository. Remi is the maintainer for PHP releases on the Rhel family for those unaware.
For the tutorial, we will install the newest PHP 8.0. However, it must be noted while WordPress works well with PHP 8.0 and higher, some of the plugins may face issues, so make sure you are only installing active and updated plugins which should be the standard in any CMS. If you encounter problems, uninstall PHP 8.0, and use PHP 7.4.
To install PHP from Remi’s repository, you will need to have installed the EPEL repository at the start of the tutorial. By default, PHP 7.2 is the default PHP choice for standard installation on Rocky Linux. A quick tip is to use the (list php) command to see the options available and the default.
12. enable (Remi repository) with the following:

13. Next, use the (dnf) command to update your repository list:
sudo dnf update
14. Now list the modules available for PHP using the following command:
sudo dnf module list php DigitalOcean Agent 109 kB/s | 3.3 kB 00:00 DigitalOcean Droplet Agent 71 kB/s | 3.3 kB 00:00 Rocky Linux 8 - AppStream Name Stream Profiles Summary php 7.2 [d] common [d], devel, minimal PHP scripting language php 7.3 common [d], devel, minimal PHP scripting language php 7.4 common [d], devel, minimal PHP scripting language php 8.0 common [d], devel, minimal PHP scripting language Remi's Modular repository for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 Name Stream Profiles Summary php remi-7.2 common [d], devel, minimal PHP scripting language php remi-7.3 common [d], devel, minimal PHP scripting language php remi-7.4 common [d], devel, minimal PHP scripting language php remi-8.0 common [d], devel, minimal PHP scripting language php remi-8.1 common [d], devel, minimal PHP scripting language Hint: [d]efault, [e]nabled, [x]disabled, [i]nstalled
As you can see above, the (d) tag is next to PHP 7.2, which you will need to reset and change to install PHP 8.0 on Rocky Linux.
15. To reset the PHP list is easy with the following command:
sudo dnf module list reset php
16. Next, enable PHP 8.1 with the following command:
