How To: Install WordPress in InterWorx

How To: Install Wordpress in InterWorx


For those of you that just want no-fuss, head over here to learn how configure Simple Scripts.

For a little more control over your installation follow this tutorial and mind the few prerequisites:

A.) If you have NodeWorx access, make sure PHP scripts are running as the SiteWorx user rather than apache.Popup Example

B.) I like to grab my WordPress through SSH because it's a little quicker than fussing with FTP. If you have NodeWorx access, give your SiteWorx user shell access.Animated Popup Tutorial

1.) Setting up the Database:

  • Log in to the SiteWorx account where you'd like to put your new WordPress Install.
  • Locate Hosting Features -> MySQL -> Databases in the menu.

  • Wordpress Install

    Small SiteWorx Menu

    Note: SiteWorx will automatically append the unix username of the SiteWorx account to whatever you type in the box.  Make it short and sweet.

    SiteWorx add database screen

    2.) Downloading / Extracting WordPress through shell:

    • Log in to your server: (Make sure you've done both A and B from above).
      ssh [email protected]
    • Navigate to the domain where you want to install WordPress:
      cd /home/melvin/melvinmcgillacuddy.com/html/
    • Download the latest WordPress:
      tar xfz latest.tar.gz
    • Untar the package with xfz (-x: extract, -f: use archive file, -z: unzip).
      tar xfz latest.tar.gz
    • The archive extracts you a folder called wordpress. We want all of these files up and out of that folder. Let's move them up out of their folder into our current directory.
      mv wordpress/* ./
    • Now we can delete that empty wordpress folder.
      rmdir ./wordpress/

    3.) Let WordPress handle the rest:

    • Make sure you created your database in Step 1
    • Open up http://melvinmcgillacuddy.com (The URL where you installed WP)
    • Follow through WordPress's prompts:
    • installgif

      WordPress guided setup.

      Success!  Now you've got WordPress!
