WordPress App on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

• We have built a ready-to-go application image
  which offers you the latest WordPress release
  running on an optimized Apache, PHP and MySQL
  stack. You dont need any knowledge in managing
  your server, all you need to do is simply create
  it on your cloud account.
• Deployment
• You can create your WordPress server easily using
  our CloudConsole control panel, OpenStack CLI
  tools or API access. We are going to cover on how
  to do it using both our control panel and
  OpenStack CLI tools for developers.
• CloudConsole
• OpenStack CLI

• You will need to be logged into your customer
  center in order to proceed with this. Once you
  are logged in, click on Servers from the
  sidebar and then click on the Launch Server
  button. You should arrive to a screen similar to
  the one below

• From that page, enter the name of your server. If
  your domain name is myblog.com, it is best to go
  with something like server.myblog.com.
• This does not necessarily have to be the same as
  the domain name of the blog youll be hosting.
• Once you have done that, click on the pencil icon
  next to Server Image to show the list of all
  images available.
• Click on the Apps tab and then select WordPress
  from the list.
• Your server information and image section should
  look something like the one below

• The next step is to select the specifications of
  the server that you need to launch.
• It is usually recommended to go with
  a nb.1G server at least, as running a MySQL
  database on a server with 512MB of memory only
  tends to cause problems.

• You can leave the rest of the options at the
  defaults if you are not familiar with them, or
  you can configure them to your exact needs.
• Once you are done, click on Create Server and
  your WordPress will be created.
• You will need to make sure that your CLI tools
  are properly configured and installed.
• You can check our tutorial on how to setup the
  OpenStack CLI tools if you need help with that.
• Once then, you can setup the new WordPress server
  easily.
• nova boot --poll --image WordPress --flavor
  nb.1G server.wordpress.com

• You will have to replace a couple of values in
  the command above.
• Primarily, you will have to select one of the
  available flavors, you can get the entire listing
  by running nova flavor-list.
• You can replace server.wordpress.com by the
  name of your server as well.
• You can provide an SSH keypair by using the
  key-name option to use passwordless SSH
  access. 
• If you dont provide a key, please note of the
  adminPass value from the result of the command
  above as this will be your root password and it
  will never be displayed again.
• You may need to wait for a few seconds as your
  server completes the provisioning process, which
  includes installing the latest release of
  WordPress and configuring your database.
• Once your server state is ACTIVE, you can now
  move onto the next step.

• Installation
• Once the server is deployed, you will have to
  setup your DNS to point your domain name to your
  new server.
• If you need help with that, you can search our
  resources for more information on how to use our
  Cloud DNS service.
• Youll have to navigate to the domain name which
  you pointed in your browser, so if you are
  using myblog.com, then open myblog.com in your
  browser.
• If you do not have the domain name pointing yet,
  you can still complete the setup by accessing
  your servers IP address directly, which you can
  find in your Overview tab under Network
  Details.
• You will need to navigate to that IP address in
  your browser by entering it in your address field.

  asking you which language you would like to use

  language of your choice.

• Installation
• Once you have made that choice, youll have to
  fill out some basic information about your blog
  to complete the installation, the form should be
  pretty straightforward.
• Once that is done, your WordPress installation
  will be fully setup and ready to go. You can
  continue to login with the new account which
  youve just created.

• IP Installation Notes
• WordPress takes the hostname used when installing
  and configures that as the website URL.
• If you have installed WordPress by directly
  accessing the IP address of the server, it is
  likely considered that your website IP is your
  actual URL.
• Once you point your domain name to your server
  properly, you will be able to fix this by logging
  into your WordPress administration portal and
  going to Settings and then General.
• From there, update the WordPress Address and Site
  Address to your domain name, such
  as http//myblog.com.
