          This isn't a production server - you can open it to the world so that you can see the web page from your desktop.

              @joyfano Yeah, notepad++ on windows or sublime text on MAC. You can connect to the server using SFTP and directly edit the files using the tools mentioned.

              Or you can use VI editor to edit the file directly from the command http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html

              Awesome, thanks for this tip!

                Learning to use vi is one of those really important UNIX admin tips. You will need it your entire career. I've used vi literally for twenty years now and it is available everywhere, on every platform and most pros will just expect you to know it. You can work around it, but not easily in most shops. I've never worked a UNIX job where I would have been comfortable not using it - it is simply expected for everything that you do. Fellow admins would honestly be confused if you used anything else. And some jobs, like supporting Solaris at IBM, there was no other option and anyone who didn't know vi could not even start to work on the servers. It was a line in the sand between those that could and those that could not.

                  After working with Linux for few days mostly using command I can say honestly that's its easy to do any task using command. In my case I just need to be more familiar and of course to learn about different command line. I wish I knew this before. 🙂

                    Yes, a command line makes for a harder and steeper learning curve because there are not graphical clues leading you from one step to another. But once you learn the commands it actually makes things easier. And if you think using the command line directly is easy, wait until you script for administration - so easy to automate lots of systems at once. So powerful and so easy. Windows admins with their GUIs have an easy time at day one, but by day two they do twice as much work as their command line counterparts.

                      I am counting this as 3 days since I started working with command not totally full time 🙂
                      everyday I am learning new command 🙂

                          CentOS comes with a firewall that blocks most traffic by default (everything except SSH and ICMP.) You need to allow HTTP through the firewall. Two ways of doing this:

                          1. Run system-config-firewall, go Customize, but a "*" beside "WWW (HTTP)" in the list, then Close, then OK, then Yes

                          2. Run these commands from the shell:

                          iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
                          service iptables save

                                    I have found, incorrectly typing in the database name and database username is the culprit.

                                    On my CentOS box with cPanel, database name is techno_name-of-database, database username is techno_admin.

                                            I am stuck again cannot access my localhost right now, If i am accessing it using lynx ( running in centos) it says unable to contact localhost.
                                            Except modifying the WP-config.php i also modified my VirtualHost.
                                            Still working on how to fix my localhost 😞
