== Update the wp-config.php file ==
We'll use the default as a starting point. Let's first make a copy of the sample config file.
<div class="cli">
<span style="color:#00ff00;">mhan</span><span style="color:#444444;">@</span><span style="color:#00cccc;">brahms</span><span style="color:#999999">:</span><span style="color:blue;">/srv/www/blog</span><span style="color:#cccccc;">
$ <b class="color:white;">cp -p wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php</b>
</span></div>
This doesn't add to the security, but I usually keep original files with an extension of .dist (short for distribution).
<div class="cli">
<span style="color:#00ff00;">mhan</span><span style="color:#444444;">@</span><span style="color:#00cccc;">brahms</span><span style="color:#999999">:</span><span style="color:blue;">/srv/www/blog</span><span style="color:#cccccc;">
$ <b class="color:white;">mv wp-config-sample.php wp-config-sample.php.dist</b>
</span></div>
Make updates to the config file. The lines for salts can be obtained at https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/. The following diff shows you the changes I've made.
