Demo 1 (StackScript overrides for a sample Wordpress application installation)

This is just a sample wordpress template with some sample data installed which will show you how you can get a pre-built site up and running with this toolkit

  1. Assuming that you have your valid credentials in your credentials file on your laptop (if you don't know what this is, go to the beginning of this document and start there) follow the steps in "POPULATE YOUR STACKSCRIPT" above.
  2. Once the steps in POPULATE YOUR STACKSCRIPT have been followed fully, make the following additional changes to the advanced settings of your Stackscript.
set "The Display name for your website e.g. My Demo Website" to "My Wordpress Demo"  
set "APPLICATION" to "wordpress"  
set "BASELINE DB REPOSITORY" to "wordpressdemo-db-baseline" 
set "APPLICATION BASELINE SOURCECODE REPOSITORY" to "wordpressdemo-webroot-sourcecode-baseline"

If you are using the cloud-init method raher than StackScript these you should set

export WEBSITE_DISPLAY_NAME="My Wordpress Demo"
export APPLICATION="wordpress"  
export BASELINE DB REPOSITORY="wordpressdemo-db-baseline" 
export APPLICATION BASELINE SOURCECODE REPOSITORY="wordpressdemo-webroot-sourcecode-baseline"
