Elcarrilbici is a blog about bike lanes and urban cycling. Wordpress blog hosted on pagodabox (v. 1.0).
Pagoda configuration is added to the Boxfile: Boxfile!
To use different settings for Pagoda or Locahost, we add to the wp-config.php the following:
if (isset($_SERVER['PLATFORM']) && $_SERVER['PLATFORM'] == 'PAGODABOX') {
define('DB_NAME', $_SERVER['DB1_NAME']);
define('DB_USER', $_SERVER['DB1_USER']);
define('DB_PASSWORD', $_SERVER['DB1_PASS']);
define ('DB_HOST', $_SERVER['DB1_HOST'] . ':' . $_SERVER['DB1_PORT']);
}
else {
define('DB_NAME', 'localhostDB');
define('DB_USER', 'localhostUSER');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'localhostDB_PASSWORD');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
}- Config File: Because Pagoda Box needs a different config file than a local version of the site, we created a new directory in the root of the project called "pagoda" and created a pagoda version of the config file there. Then we created an After Build deploy hook in the Boxfile that moved that file from pagoda/wp-config.php to wp-config.php. Also, in place of the static database credentials, we used the auto-created environment variables.
after_build:
- "mv pagoda/wp-config.php wp-config.php"
- Database Component: An empty database was created by adding a db component to the Boxfile.
