Description
WordPress is a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability.
If you want to create a site in Wordpress and host it as your primary domain on SME Server you should not use this contrib. This contrib will only allow site visitors to type in yourdomain.com/wordpress to get to the wordpress site.
Installation in an iBay is more flexible and is recommended. See the PART ONE steps at Wordpress Multisite. At the completion of PART ONE, you will have a fully functional Wordpress site with the exception of automatic updating. Automatic Updating requires FTP access to the core files. You can manage FTP access to iBays with the contrib located here.
Installation
yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-wordpress
After installation, you need to make the installation effective. If you do not want to reboot your server then enter:
signal-event wordpress-update ; config set UnsavedChanges no
or for a full reboot:
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Initial Setup
To setup wordpress start your browser with the URL http://www.yourmaindomain/wordpress and complete the forms.
To make basic setup just enter a blog name and an administrator email address then click Setup. On the next screen you will be presented with the admin user name and a randomly generated admin password. Record these somewhere safe now !
Then click the Log in button, and enter your admin username (ie admin) and password, ie the ones just displayed on the previous screen.
The initial setup is done in the Settings link at the top right corner of the blog screen.
Configure as required, and save your changes before exiting.
Optional: If you want to change the domain URL that wordpress will be accessed with, apply any changes to the URL property before setting up wordpress, refer to options below, default is wordpress.
Upgrade Setup
If you already have an earlier version of wordpress installed, then you will need to run the upgrade option first. After installing the new rpm with yum (as per Installation instructions above), go to
http://www.yourmaindomain/wordpress/wp-admin/upgrade.php
and follow the instructions given.
Usage
Normal access by bloggers -> www.yourdomain.com/wordpress/
Admin or backend user access -> www.yourdomain.com/wordpress/wp-login.php
Options
- You can fine tune access to wordpress with DB settings.
http://wiki.contribs.org/Web_Application_RPM#New_DB_settings
# config show wordpress wordpress=service AllowOverrideAll=disabled BackupFiles=enabled DbName=wordpress DbPassword=804896988746808 DbUser=wordpress Https=enabled Indexes=disabled Name=Wordpress weblog PublicAccess=global SymLinks=disabled WpLang=en status=enabled
- To disable wordpress. (default is enabled)
config setprop wordpress status disabled signal-event wordpress-update
- Force HTTP (it is a bad idea)
config setprop wordpress Https disabled signal-event wordpress-update
- Enable Indexes
config setprop wordpress Indexes enabled signal-event wordpress-update
- Enabled FollowSymLinks
config setprop wordpress Symlinks enabled signal-event wordpress-update
- Enabled AllowOverrideAll
config setprop wordpress AllowOverrideAll enabled signal-event wordpress-update
- To limit access to wordpress.
config setprop wordpress PublicAccess OPTION
OPTION is either of the following.
none => No access local => Local network (no password required) local-pw => Local network (password required) global => Entire Internet(no password required) global-pw => Entire Internet(password required) global-pw-remote => Entire Internet(password required outside local network)
- To add a different URL eg. yourserver.net/different-url
Note, this adds another url, it doesn't remove the default yourserver.net/wordpress
config setprop wordpress URL new-url-wordpress
This setting writes a new Alias to the httpd.conf file. Whatever you enter as new-url-wordpress is appended to your domain(s).
- Disconnect all users and force them to reconnect (default enabled)
config setprop wordpress Salt enabled signal-event wordpress-update
or
signal-event console-save
every time you do a signal-event you change the random 'salt' in cookies, all users will be forced to log again.
- Local Settings
The config file is now templated, so changes need to be made in a new fragment, eg
# ls /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/wordpress/wp-config.php/ 10db 20inc_dist template-begin template-end
check which setting you want to change with
cat /usr/share/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php
then add the new setting in the new fragment and expand, it will overrule the old
expand-template /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php
If you think your setting should be the default raise a bug
Recommended Plugins
Spam filtering is a popular plugin and recommended to prevent excessive spam being added to your wordpress blogsite. To configure the Akismet plugin offered by Wordpress do the following.
Login as admin.
Click on the Plugins link at top right of page.
The Plugin Management page will appear, and a list of Inactive Plugins is shown.
Check the tick box next to Akismet and then click on Activate
To complete the process you will need to enter your Wordpress.com API key
Click on the "enter your WordPress.com API key" link at the top of the page. If you do not already have a key, then click on the (Get your key) link.
This will take you to the wordpress.com site. You need to create a new user account (if you don't already have one). Click the Signup link and enter required details. Select the option to create "Just a username please" and do not create a blog site at wordpress.com.
You will receive a email confirmation to activate your account. After confirming your account creation, you will receive another email advising your new account details, and giving you the API key details.
Return to the admin page of your new wordpress blog site and click on the Plugins link. Select Akismet configuration and enter your API key details. If preferred, tick the check box next to "Automatically discard spam comments on posts older than a month"
Click the Update options button, and you should then see a confirmation notice that your key has been verified. Configure other Akismet settings as required. Save your changes, exit as admin user, and start using your blogsite.
Backup of Wordpress
the folder 'wp-content' and the mysql database are now included in the official backup of smeserver. If you use that backup way you will retrieve the mysql database and the folder wp-content.
if you dont want to use that backup way you can do
config setprop wordpress BackupFiles disabled signal-event wordpress-update
Uninstallation
To remove the package issue the following command on the SME Server shell:
rpm -e wordpress smeserver-wordpress
or
yum remove smeserver-wordpress yum remove wordpress.noarch
To remove mysql database and user, both are named wordpress, see MySQL#Remove a database and MySQL#Remove a user. There is no need to reboot.
1. Delete MySQL database:
mysql drop database wordpress;
2. Delete MySQL user:
mysql USE mysql; DELETE FROM user WHERE user = 'wordpress'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Move Contrib to iBay
These instructions assume you have installed this contrib as described on this page and that you understand how to use Wordpress. If you have done anything else these instructions are not for you.
The Wordpress files are installed to /usr/share/wordpress by the wordpress contrib. The main configuration file wp-config.php in this location is a symlink to /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php. The template for the wp-config.php file is located at /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/wordpress/wp-config.php and creates the /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php file. After completing these steps, you will not be able to use the wordpress events or information in the configuration database to regenerate your site's wp-config.php file. You will have to manually modify the wp-config.php file to suit your needs.
Follow the steps at Wordpress Multisite with the exception of steps A4, A5, and A7.
A4 step: If you are moving an existing install, the database and user already exist. Backup the Wordpress database using phpmyadmin (PHPMyAdmin) and get the database user and password from /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php.
A5 step: You are going to be using an existing installation so use midnight commander (mc at the terminal) to copy the files from /usr/share/wordpress/ to the ibay directory. Once copied, navigate to the ibay directory and delete the symlink for wp-config.php. Copy wp-config.php from /etc/wordpress to the ibay directory. You should now have all of the wordpress base, config file, plugins, and content located in the new ibay you created.
Edit the wp-config.php file and find the line that references the definition of ABSPATH. Edit the directory to match your ibay location. The default entry created by the contrib is:
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */ define('ABSPATH', '/usr/share/wordpress/');
Using phpmyadmin, go into the wordpress database wp_options table and change the siteurl and home records to reflect your new url. You do not have to use https if you created the ibay using the steps outlined in the Wordpress Multisite wiki page.
A7 step: Navigate to yourdomain.com/wp-admin and login using the same credentials setup when you installed the contrib. Verify the settings are correct and save the configuration. No reconfiguration necessary.
You can disable the wordpress contrib with
config setprop wordpress status disabled signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
Once you are satisfied with the site's performance, you can remove the wordpress contrib. Do not remove the mysql database or your site will not function.
