Description

http://www.wordpress.org

WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.

Installation

Install from the SME Contribs repository by issuing the following command on the SME Server shell:

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-wordpress

Ther is no need to reboot.

Upgrade

After installing the new rpm with yum, go to

http://servername/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php

Setup

To setup wordpress start your browser with the URL http://servername/wordpress and complete the forms.

Optional: If you want to change the URL wordpress will be accessed with, apply any changes to the URL property before setting up wordpress, refer to options below, default is wordpress.

Options

  • You can fine tune access to wordpress with DB settings.

http://wiki.contribs.org/Web_Application_RPM#New_DB_settings

  • Local Settings

The config file is now templated, so changes need to be made in a new fragment, eg

nano /etc/e-smith/templates/opt/wordpress/wp-config.php/05local 

check which setting you want to change with

cat /opt/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php

then add the new setting in the new fragment and expand, it will overrule the old

expand-template /opt/wordpress/wp-config.php

If you think your setting should be the default raise a bug

Usage

Admin -> Yourserver.net/wordpress/wp-login.php

Usage -> Yourserver.net/wordpress/
