Wordpress Amazon AMI - WP install directory + FTP install

Greetings…

I’ve been mucking with the Amazon AMI and can’t for the life of my figure out how to make Wordpress be installed in the HTDOCS root + how to add FTP to the stack install. Several people need to access the templates and plugins directories via FTP and running WP in the webserver root is a must for doing a multi-site instance.

I searched here and on the web to no avail.

Thanks,

Al

Hi,

The default htdocs directory for a BitNami stack is /apps/application_name/htdocs. In your case it should be /bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs. You can copy the content of that directory in the apache htdocs directory. Then go to /bitnami/apps/wordpress/conf/wordpress.conf file and modify the paths.

Please excuse my ignorance because I’m new to Unix. I’ve been able to get my WordPress AMI working on Amazon. So thank you for that, it was relatively simple to get WordPress up and running.

However now I want to do what this guy is doing but I’m unable to figure out how to follow your instructions. How can I get into the htdocs directory for the stack?

And how do I copy the files from one directory to another?

Thanks

Hi,

The wordpress files are in “/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs” folder. You can use WinSCP or a different program to connecto to your Amazon instance and modify the Wordpress files. You can find more info at:
