Advanced Users:

If you are comfortable with SSH and a linux terminal, you can do this a little faster than the beginners guide described below:

  • Connect to your container via SSH and issue the following commands
[user@c-yourContainerName ~]$ wget http://wordpress.org/latest.zip
[user@c-yourContainerName ~]$ unzip latest.zip -d ~/sites 
/yourDomain.com_verX/doc_root

Prerequisites:

Your first site on Stackable
Connecting to your container via SFTP

Beginners:

  • To create a Wordpress blog, visit their download page and download the latest archive (zip file) of Wordpress.
  • Once downloaded, extract the files to a directory somewhere on your computer.
  • Open Filezilla (or your preferred SFTP client) and connect to your container.
  • Navigate to the local directory on your computer where you extracted the wordpress files. Next, on your container, navigate to the Environment or Container doc_root of your site. 
(i.e. /home/user/sites/yourdomain.net_ver2/doc_root)
  • Select all of the files in the local Wordpress directory on your computer and drag them over to the remote directory on the right, which is on your container.
  • Login to your Stackable Dashboard to create a database for wordpress. Take note of the name of your database, the database username, password, and hostname. Please note, your hostname will look something like "db2.slc1.stackable.com" and can be found by clicking on the MySQL database name in the Stackable dashboard.

    Now you're ready to proceed with the Wordpress 'Famous Five-minute Install' guide to complete installation.
