[google-chrome]

name=google-chrome

baseurl=https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64

enabled=1

gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub

Save the file (Ctrl+O, then Enter) and exit (Ctrl+X).

Step 3: Install Google Chrome

Install Google Chrome using the following command:

bash

Copy code

sudo yum install -y google-chrome-stable

Step 4: Verify Chrome Installation

To check if Chrome is installed successfully:

bash

Copy code

google-chrome –version

Step 5: Install Dependencies for Chrome

Ensure all dependencies required for Chrome to run are installed:

bash

Copy code

sudo yum install -y atk cups-libs libX11 libXcomposite libXcursor libXdamage libXext libXi libXrandr libXScrnSaver libXtst pango alsa-lib

Step 6: Install ChromeDriver

  1. Download ChromeDriver:
    Check the Chrome version installed and download the matching ChromeDriver version:

bash

Copy code

google-chrome –version

Visit the ChromeDriver Downloads page and note the version matching your Chrome version.

Step 7: Configure Selenium

Ensure Selenium is installed in your Python environment:

bash

Copy code

pip install selenium

Step 8: Test Selenium with Chrome

Here’s a sample Python script to verify Selenium and Chrome integration:

python

Copy code

from selenium import webdriver

 

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()

options.add_argument(‘–headless’)  # Run Chrome in headless mode

options.add_argument(‘–no-sandbox’)

options.add_argument(‘–disable-dev-shm-usage’)

 

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

driver.get(“https://www.google.com”)

print(“Page Title is:”, driver.title)

 

driver.quit()

Run the script:

bash

Copy code

python3 your_test_script.py

Troubleshooting

  • If Chrome fails to start, ensure –no-sandbox and –disable-dev-shm-usage options are used, as these are needed for environments like EC2.
  • Use a lightweight EC2 instance type (e.g., t3.medium) to handle Chrome dependencies efficiently.

WordPress Website Migration from Amazon LightSail to Bluehost

Migrating a WordPress website from Amazon Lightsail to Bluehost involves several steps. Here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth migration:

 

Step 1: Prepare Your Bluehost Account

  • Login to Bluehost: Access your Bluehost account dashboard.
  • Set up Hosting: Ensure your hosting environment is ready with a new domain or subdomain for the WordPress website.
  • Install WordPress: Use Bluehost’s one-click WordPress installer to create a fresh installation.

Step 2: Backup Your Lightsail WordPress Site

  1. Log in to Lightsail: Access your Lightsail console and identify the instance hosting your WordPress site.
  2. Access Your Instance via SSH: Open the terminal and connect to your Lightsail instance via SSH.

bash

Copy code

ssh -i Lightsail-Key.pem ubuntu@<Public-IP>

  1. Export Your Database:
    • Locate your database credentials in the wp-config.php file.
    • Run the following command to export your database:

bash

Copy code

mysqldump -u <DB_USER> -p <DB_NAME> > wordpress_db.sql

  1. Compress WordPress Files:
    • Navigate to the WordPress directory, usually /var/www/html.
    • Compress your WordPress files:

bash

Copy code

sudo tar -czvf wordpress_files.tar.gz /var/www/html

  1. Download the Backup Files:
    • Use SCP to transfer the files to your local machine:

bash

Copy code

scp -i Lightsail-Key.pem ubuntu@<Public-IP>:~/wordpress_files.tar.gz .

scp -i Lightsail-Key.pem ubuntu@<Public-IP>:~/wordpress_db.sql .

Step 3: Upload Files to Bluehost

  1. Log in to cPanel on Bluehost.
  2. Upload the Files:
    • Use the File Manager or an FTP client (e.g., FileZilla) to upload wordpress_files.tar.gz to the Bluehost directory (e.g., /public_html).
  3. Extract the Files:
    • Navigate to the File Manager, locate the uploaded file, and extract it.
  4. Import the Database:
    • In cPanel, go to phpMyAdmin.
    • Create a new database.
    • Import the wordpress_db.sql file into this database.

Step 4: Update Configuration

  1. Modify wp-config.php:
    • Update database credentials in the wp-config.php file:

php

Copy code

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘new_database_name’);

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘new_database_user’);

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘new_password’);

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

  1. Update Site URL:
    • Access phpMyAdmin and update the siteurl and home values in the wp_options table to match your new Bluehost domain.

Step 5: Test Your Website

  1. Preview Your Site:
    • Temporarily use Bluehost’s preview URL or modify your local hosts file to map the domain to Bluehost’s IP.
  2. Fix Any Issues:
    • Verify functionality, including plugins, themes, and permalinks.
    • Re-save permalinks under WordPress Settings > Permalinks.

Step 6: Update DNS

  1. Update Domain Nameservers:
  2. Wait for Propagation:
    • DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally.

Step 7: Secure Your Site

  1. Enable SSL:
    • Use Bluehost’s SSL tool to enable a free SSL certificate.
    • Update the WordPress URL to use HTTPS.

Step 8: Final Testing

  • Verify the site works as expected.
  • Check for broken links or missing resources.
  • Monitor performance and traffic to ensure smooth operation.
