Hi, This is my first time using a site with ISPConfig 3. If a domain has an existing non WordPress wesbsite (written in PHP), and I use the ASP Installer to install WordPress. Will it overwrite the current site completely? What is the correct way to install Wordpress on ISPConfig 3? cheers,
Don't use the APS installer for sites that contain a website. Install WordPress like this instead: 1) Create a database user and database for Wordpress in ISPConfig. 2) Download the Wordpress archive to the folder where you want to install it and unpack it (or download it to your desktop, unpack it and then upload it by ftp). 3) Open the URL of the Wordpress install in a browser and follow the instructions on the screen.
Hi, Just to clarify, if I want to start the site from scratch. Do I still use the method you describe above or do I use the APS installer?
I use this script: Code: read -p "Web folder: " webdir read -p "Client ID (only numbers): " clientid read -p "Web ID: " webid mkdir /$webdir/tmp-wp cd /$webdir/tmp-wp wget https://wordpress.org/latest.zip unzip latest.zip mv ./wordpress/* ../ cd ../ mv index.html index-standard.html rm -r tmp-wp chown -R web$webid:client$clientid ./* When executed, it will ask for the webdir, clientid, and webid. If you would be installing Wordpress for client 1, web 2, you would do this: Web folder: /var/www/clients/client1/web2/web Client ID: 1 Web ID: 2
