These are notes on Administering WordPress on Magnet.
=== Installing WordPress ===
In general follow the standard [http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress Installation Steps], with the following details.
To create the database I used the [http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Using_the_MySQL_Client command-line method]. Access the database as root:
<code>sudo mysql</code>
When editing wp-config.php, change the DB_HOST setting from 'localhost' to '127.0.0.1'. Magnet doesn't seem to be resolving localhost properly, so the IP address is a work-around.
wp-config.php:
<code>define('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1');</code>
To allow WordPress to upload images, the wp-content directory should be made group writable:
<code>chmod -R g+rw blog/wp-content</code>
=== Notes on Moving a WordPress Blog ===
Before moving the blog, login as an administrator and in Settings/General, change the WordPress and Blog URLs to the new location.
After moving the blog, you may need to adjust the Upload paths in Settings/Misc.
