    Hi

    I managed to resolve this. Basically did the following (if this helps anyone with similar issues)

    Remove apache/mysql from the install (yum …. )
    Download and install xampp for linux (lampp)
    Download and install the bitnami version of wordpress 4.6.1

    symlinked /opt/lampp/htdocs to /opt/lampp/apps/wordpress/htdocs/

    Edit the wp-config file and change the following lines of code to remove /wordpress from the URL
    /opt/lampp/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-config.php

    define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://’ . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . ‘/’);
    define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://’ . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . ‘/’);

    original lines read

    define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://’ . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . ‘/wordpress’);
    define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://’ . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’] . ‘/wordpress’);

    Restarted lampp
    /opt/lampp/lampp stop / start

    Now I can hit the default loading page which is good and I can use the url /wp-login.php and login using the username and password defined during the install of bitnami version of wordpress.

    It asked for a password during the install of bitnami in the console window after the install was initiated. I just pressed Enter as I presumed it was asking for the mysql root password which at that point hadnt been set.

    Thank you for the responses and replies ….
    Much appreciated

    Hi

    Firstly, thank you for taking the time to reply. Very much appreciated.

    When I go to the URL I do get the login page.
    When I enter my username and password (which I specified during install) the login page is just “refreshed” with the standard word press logo with the normal “username or email” and “password” login box.

    if I enter my username and purposefully put in an incorrect password, I get get the “Error, the password you entered for the username <username> is incorrect. Lost your password?” diaglogue appear under the wordpress logo.

    Same behavior on both wp-login.php and /wp-admin/

    Thank you again, looking forward to your reply
