Just wanted to say thank you for a superb summary of this process. I am just about to update our site (built on wordpress but not touched for a couple of years and long overdue an overhaul) and wanted to set up a local environment. Very useful article and much appreciated!

Comment on How to install wordpress using ssh and svn by Michael Rose

Fan-tastic… it works!

At the moment I can work locally and upload the changed files using FTP, and exporting/importing the database… but I’m sure there is a much more efficient method.

How about a tutorial on rsync or SVN for keeping the local and live versions in sync?

Now the errata got screwed up - oh well.

PS:

Some of the above commands appear on two lines in the browser but should really be on one. Here’s an errata:
LoadModule dav_svn_module
== 1 ==
/usr/libexec/apache2/mod_dav_svn.so

DAV svn
SVNParentPath /usr/local/svn

== 2 ==
svn import -m “initial import” /Library/WebServer/Documents/svn_default http://localhost/svn/appname

== 3 ==
svn import -m “app import” /Library/WebServer/Documents/appname http://localhost/svn/appname/trunk

Beautiful, thanks. This worked really well. I am amazed it’s that simple, really.

One thing though: I installed both the svn repository and the checked out project in my home folder. The reason is that your home folder will be preserved when you migrate to a new machine. Stuff that’s hidden in /usr/local/svn will not be migrated by the migration assistant.

I plan on keeping my svn repo for ever and ever, so /Users/masterblaster is a better place for it IMO. No, that’s not really my user name.

Thanks a lot for the talk Mark. Really useful to find out more about Wordpress as we’ve just started using it for a couple of sites here.

Hi Mark

Thanks for last night and for sharing the slides.

I’ve started a new project just to test whether I learned anything or not!

I may be being a bit daft… but I can’t find the code samples except in the presentation itself… is there anywhere I can copy and paste from?

Thanks again
