==Setting with ssh== | |||
Right so the permission on wordpress can trick you up if you don't use the right command. So here a step by set guide. | |||
#Login into Redbrick from terminal or putty (or some other ssh) | |||
#Enter your public_html folder <code>cd public_html</code> | |||
#Download WordPress with wget <code>wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz</code> | |||
#Now extract it, this is the part where if you do it wrong permissions are a plain in the a$$! so use <code>tar -pxvzf latest.tar.gz</code> the -p insures that the permissions will be the same as when it was compress (which WordPress normally have right) | |||
#You now have a folder called WordPress, and that as much as you need to do from ssh got to. http:redbrick.dcu.ie/~'''YOURUSERNAME'''/wordpress/ | |||
#Follow the WordPress instructions there, you will need a Mysql database at this point just email admins for one | |||
