  Notice: When installing ANY web application in an iBay of the SME server that has additional user access, besides
 
  admin, there is always a danger of other users changing (intentionally or accidentally) files in the   
 
  application iBay. If there is a possible security issue with users, it is recommended to install wordpress
 
  contribution from here: http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Contrib
 
        If there is no user security issue, or the server only has admin access, you may continue.

'''PART ONE:''' ==
 
 
 
 
 
---Before installing Wordpress:
 
 
 
---THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE ONLY ONCE ON A NEW SYSTEM:---
 
 
 
Any subsequent wordpress installs, go to the Second Part.
 
 
 
 
 
This step is not necessary, you can do it if you need to upload files/ pictures larger than the default settings in php.
 
 
 
(Wordpress also has its own user upload limit settings, which need to be changed in wordpress dashboard, separately from PHP settings)
 
 
 
(Below can be done again if for some reason values need to be changed)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    db configuration setprop php MemoryLimit 128M
 
    db configuration setprop php PostMaxSize 112M
 
    db configuration setprop php UploadMaxFilesize 96M
 
    expand-template /etc/php.ini
 
    sv t httpd-e-smith
 
 
 
Sidenote: To see how to change file size limits for other aplications, see here: [http://wiki.contribs.org/Email#Set_max_email_size]

'''PART TWO:''' ==
 
 
 
 
 
---Wordpress install in an iBay of SME server:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1) Create an iBay in which you wish to install wordpress on.
 
 
 
When creating the iBay in admin panel:
 
* - Change the group from Admin to everyone. - This will allow users to create blogs and post pictures without  having permission issues.
 
* - Change User access to Write=group, Read=everyone
 
* - Under Public access via web, choose Entire internet without password.
 
* - Enable Execution of dynamic content.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2) Issue a following command to enable PHP temporary upload folder in that iBay
 
.(Change "iBay" to the name of your ibay and remove quote marks)
 
 
 
 
 
    db accounts setprop "iBay" PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/"iBay":/tmp
 
    signal-event ibay-modify "iBay"
 
Sidenote, the above command should work for most everybody, but if for some reason it does not work for you, see this: [http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6650]
 
 
 
 
 
3) Issue a following command to enable Symlinks in that iBay
 
.(Change "iBay" to the name of your ibay and remove quote marks)
 
 
 
 
 
    db accounts setprop "iBay" AllowOverride all
 
    db accounts setprop "iBay" FollowSymLinks enabled
 
    db accounts setprop "iBay" Indexes disabled
 
    signal-event ibay-modify "iBay"
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4) Create mysql database and database user for wordpress to use. Make sure database user has all the privileges to the database you have created. For security reasons, allow access to the database from localhost only.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
5) Download latest version from www.wordpress.org to your computer and unzip it. Upload unzipped wordpress to desired ibay/html
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
6) In the SME admin panel, point the correct domain to this new iBay.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
7) Point your web browser to your domain and go through the installation process.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
''**** If you want to have a single blog (personal blog) on one domain, you are done.
 
''
 
 
 
----
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
'''-+-+-+ To enable Multisite: -+-+-+
 
'''''''
 
 
 
 
 
1) Open wp-config.php  and add the folowing code:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    define('WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE', true);
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- just above
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    define('DB_NAME', .....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2) Log into your wordpress Dashboard
 
 
 
Under:  Tools, Network
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Choose desired settings and click on Install
 
 
 
* NOTE- SME Server does not support Wildcard Subdomains, until someone is able to figure out how to create a custom template for Wildcard Subdomains (See this thread for possible answer)[http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=48178.0]  until such time, you must choose Subfolder
 
 
 
 
 
3) After you click install, you will be taken to a "Create a Network of WordPress Sites" screen
 
 
 
Make sure you follow ALL 3 steps.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
4) SME Server specific change:
 
 
 
''!! My Wordpress installation works fine without this step. But if you have issues after following all the steps above, try it to see if it helps.

in the .htaccess file change
 
from:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    RewriteEngine On
 
    RewriteBase /
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
to:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
    RewriteEngine On
 
    RewriteBase /"ibay"

'''-+-+-+ To run several Domains on one wordpress install: -+-+-+'''''''
 
 
 
 
1) Create all your domains in the SME Server admin panel and point them to the iBay where you installed wordpress.
 
 
 
2) you will need to install Wordpress Domain Mapping plugin.
 
 
Find it here: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-mu-domain-mapping/]
 
 
 
Just follow installation instructions from plugin download site.
 
 
 
 
 
SME Specific Change:
 
 
 
'''
 
+=+= BELOW INFORMATION IS STILL WORK IN PROGRESS AS I TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE IMAGE ISSUE. I WILL REMOVE THIS NOTICE ONCE THE ISSUE IS FIXED, BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, USE THE BELOW INFORMATION AT YOUR OWN RISK +=+= '''
 
 
 
SME Server has issues displaying images inside blogs that use Domain mapping, in order for the images to show correctly, we need to create custom template to enable allow_url_fopen and create custom template for "hosts" file:
 
 
 
3)    Allow PHP URL File Open per ibay:
 
 
 
Make custom httpd directory if it does not exist
 
 
 
  mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
 
 
 
 
 
Inside that directory create a file
 
  99allow_url_fopen
 
 
 
Edit the file 99allow_url_fopen and input following content: (Change "iBay" to the name of your ibay and remove quote marks)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  <Directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/"iBay"/html>
 
  php_admin_flag allow_url_fopen on
 
  </Directory>
 
 
 
Save the file
 
 
 
Expand
 
 
 
  expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
 
 
 
Restart httpd.
 
 
 
  /etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart
 
 
 
 
 
3) Create directory:
 
  /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/hosts,
 
 
 
then inside that directory create a file :
 
  30customhosts,
 
 
 
Edit the file 30customhosts and add your domains to it that will use wordpress domain mapping (replace domain# with your actual domain names)
 
 
 
  127.0.0.1  *.domain1.com
 
  127.0.0.1  *.domain2.com
 
  127.0.0.1  *.domain3.com 
 
 
 
 
 
Save the file 
 
 
Expand:
 
  expand-template /etc/hosts
 
 
 
Restart httpd:
 
 
 
  /etc/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Good Luck
 
 
 
And have fun with your new Wordpress install.
