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) :
---
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | # example git clone ssh://53d218264382ec3ccb00068a@openpress-abhishekghosh.rhcloud.com/~/git/openpress.git/ # you can not clone mine # clone yours # cd to git folder cd open press # openpress is just an app name |

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 :
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | Remote: Starting PHP 5.4 cartridge (Apache+mod_php) remote: Application directory "/" selected as DocumentRoot remote: ------------------------- remote: Git Post-Receive Result: success remote: Activation status: success remote: Deployment completed with status: success ~ |
That means, success. Visit your app’s url like in case of ours was :

You’ll get promoted to install FlatPress. Use your own user name and password to complete the setup. We have bundled a moron looking responsive theme which you can see on screenshot.
