Install Light Blogging Software FlatPress on OpenShift PaaS : First Steps
Possibly you are not used with git. Even if you are not used that much, we have written this guide in a way, so that you can easily use FlatPress on OpenShit. First, create a PHP App from OpenShift’s dashboard. PHP desirably should be the latest one. By default, your app will have this kind of URL :
# means
# appname-usename.rhcloud.com
# php will be the default app name
After creating it, you have to clone it to your computer (you’ll get the url on OpenShift dashboard) :

So, you are now at app-named directory, for us it is openpress. You will wget our repo within this directory. Here is the command :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | wget https://github.com/AbhishekGhosh/OpenShift-FlatPress/archive/master.zip # do ls to check the name, name can vary ls # unzip unzip master.zip # after unzip completes do these steps cd master mv * .. cd .. && rm -r master* git add . git commit -m "I have copied commit sentence too" git push origin master |
After a time, you’ll get this kind of verbose output :
