Installing WordPress on Rackspace Cloud Sites Guide this time reloaded with easy tips to install within 15 minutes and a guided video also included as a part.

Second is to use a nice script, which reduces the time to download WordPress, uncompress and upload using SFTP 

 

Installing WordPress on Rackspace Cloud Sites : Important Points

 

Installing WordPress on Rackspace Cloud Sites

 

The whole process of Installing WordPress on Rackspace Cloud Sites can be divided logically in few points :

 

  • Adding the domain which you already own or will own (Rackspace has Domain Registration facility for managed Cloud including Cloud Sites) and pointed the NS to Rackspace. The NS are dns1.stabletranstit.com and dn2.stabletransit.com, this pointing of domain has not shown in the video. You can ask ask Rackspace Chat for help in case you feel difficulty.
  • Second is to create a MySQL database.
  • Third is to download the latest version of WordPress and upload it through SFTP to www folder. This time taking process has been made quite easy by using a installer script (see the above link) which downloads the latest version of WordPress from official website, unzips it, moves all files to root, deletes the compressed download and get self destructed.


Few points to mention for this Installing WordPress on Rackspace Cloud Sites video :

 

  • We have used spurious names or fake names of database, url etc. for security.
  • Some fields are not actually filled with real data on on browser WordPress installation form like script.
  • In the SFTP, an .htaccess has been shown, that is basically will not be present by default, you have to create it.
  • The index.html file in the sftp is a default html file created by Rackspace automated system. You have to delete it, we have shown it on the Installing WordPress on Rackspace Cloud Sites video.

 

This video is neither not intended to replace the purpose of official videos of Rackspace for Installing WordPress on Rackspace Cloud Sites nor it can be used for commercial purpose other than by us or Rackspace themselves.
