Fast boilerplate for Wordpress on App Engine

Wordpress on App Engine

It's fast boilerplate of Google's steps to deploy WP in GAE

Demo: GAE for PHP Blog

Notes (READ FIRST):

• The project includes php-5.4.15 binary that must be used with GAE PHP SDK, GAE SQL CLI, Wordpress 3.5.1 with batcache and memcached plugins, scripts for installation and appengine required files (app.yaml, php.ini etc).
• The SDK will install via script.
• If you want to deploy it to App Engine, register your application first: https://gaeforphp.appspot.com/
• Batcache and Memcached plugins don't need to be activated in plugins

Local installation and setup

Installation

1. Edit the database.sql with credentials of your local MySQL. Basically you will just need to change all wp_user and wp_password to whatever you want.
2. Edit project/wordpress/wp-config.php with same credentials in lines 27 and 30
3. Run bash install.sh inside the project root folder.

Running

1. In the project root folder, run bash run.sh
2. Go to http://localhost:8080/ to see WP. Go to http://localhost:8000/ to see GAE console.

Creating GAE project and deploying

Setup

1. Go to Google Cloud Console and create a project.
2. Open the project and click on App Engine. Inside App Engine go to Administration > Application Settings. Copy the Service Account Name.
3. Go back to the project. Now go to the Cloud Storage and create a new bucket. On the left, click on the checkbox of the bucket and then click on Bucket Permissions. Go to Add another permission and add a new user with Writer permission. The email address is the one that you copied in App Engine. Save it.
4. Go back to the project, go to Cloud SQL and create a new instance. Remember the name of the instance you gave.
5. Go to Console API. Find your created project on the left nav bar and go to Services. On the tab Google Cloud Platform make sure Google Cloud Storage and Google Cloud SQL is both ON
6. Enable billing on the left nav.

Deploying

7. Go to your terminal and run deploy.sh
