Topic: Wordpress 3.0

[newburns]

I used SMeSiteMaker to create a directory for my wordpress installaation. I am able to set open_basedir values within the setup.
I understand there's a contrib, but it is not the latest wordpress, and I definitely need MultiSite.
I have untarred the latest Wordpress file in the /opt/wordpress directory.
Everything installed wonderfully, with the help of the Calisun walkthrough. Multisite, users, blogs directory; all work the way they are supposed to.
However, No matter what I do, I cannot upload media, install themes, or install plugins.
It can't create the proper files or directories in the /opt/wordpress/wp-content/ directory.
Any ideas?
I've already tried chmodding directories, and even 777 doesn't help.
I also created a "var" directory in upgrades to combat a "supposed" bug, but that did.
I don't mind installing into an ibay if that is what it takes, but I need to transfer my current settings. And I will also need to be able to setup different domains, as I already have a site in my main domain's ibay, so it will go into a subdirectory of that /html/ file. Will I be able to redirect other Ibays to that wordpress to pull up the site? working from /opt, I just have to put in a redirect rule in the ibay to go to /opt/wordpress. Will it work the same in an Ibay?

Code: [Select]

lias /wordpress /opt/wordpress
<Directory /opt/wordpress>

</Directory>
I had to creat a ".htaccess" file as well

Code: [Select]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]

# uploaded files
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

# add a trailing slash to /wp-admin
RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
I tried http://wiki.contribs.org/Htaccess#Procedure_-_authentication_against_a_user_password_file
But it didn't work.
I basically, deleted all the data in the pretense and used the supplied data that was for the .htaccess file.

Do you get any errors in /var/log/httpd/error_log or /var/log/messages when you try to upload media, install themes, or install plugins?

Have you tried "chown"ing /opt/wordpress (chown -R www:www /opt/wordpress)?

Any ideas?
Should I just move the wordpress file into my website ibay and put the contents in ./html/wordpress/

[newburns]

Don't know why, but it works.
I changed everything to chmod 777
Then in WinSCP I changed everything but index.php in the wp-content folder back to 775.
Everything works now.
I am trying to run a security scanner to doublecheck all the permissions to make sure there aren't any issues?
Any ideas, I don't want security holes.

who is the owner:group of /opt/wordpress?

[newburns]

blogger:www

blogger is the user that has chroot access into /opt/wordpress: That is the only way I could think of doing the ftp within Wordpress

[Knyte]

I found that by adding the following to wp-config.php:

Code: [Select]

define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');...and then, from command line:

Code: [Select]

chown -R apache: /opt/wordpress/wp-content...WordPress no longer prompts for FTP info.

Also, I added to php.ini:

Code: [Select]

upload_tmp_dir =/tmp/...and WordPress accepts media file uploads.

Hopefully someone can suggest a better method for file uploads?  I understand it's better practice to apply a different tmp folder per web app, rather than globally.

[newburns]

Great! Will try this to confirm when I get around a terminal. Command line from Android is too frustrating.

New issue:
What is needed to have the URL different for different blogs using multisite, I.e.: http://mtrosemedia.tk/wordpress/ronblog  to http://mtrosemedia.tk/ronblog

Create
/opt/wordpress/tmp1
/opt/wordpress/tmp2
etc

and then do
for site 1
upload_tmp_dir =/opt/wordpress/tmp1
for site 2
upload_tmp_dir =/opt/wordpress/tmp2
and so on

Thanks mary...I think this thread applies to my config (single Wordpress site, single user) a bit better...any thoughts?

EDIT:  Link fail, I'm an idiot =/

Your link is broken or incorrect, I think it refers to a localhost URL
