Ubuntu package install – symlinks

  • 1) Very old WP ;-(
    2) Distrubuted /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql contains:
    ===
    echo Trying to create wp-content directory: $CONTENT
    mkdir -p $CONTENT
    ln -sf /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/themes $CONTENT/themes
    ln -sf /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/plugins $CONTENT/plugins
    ln -sf /var/lib/wordpress/wp-content/languages $CONTENT/languages
    ===

    Automatic updater for plugins and themes tries delete these “directories” and gots “not directory” error. Because of it all WP braking well enough ;-(

    It copy this 3 directories direct to configured $CONTENT directory, WP works well, but it seam to be a problem to multi-site WP networks

  • You’re up against a .deb package issue rather than an actual WordPress issue on this one.

    You should seek out a guide for specific information on installing WordPress using ‘apt-get install wordpress’ for your version of Ubuntu or Debian, if you really want to pursue that method.

    Frankly, (at least in my opinion) installing WordPress using apt-get or the package manager results in an abomination of symlinks, non-standard wordpress configuration files in obscure locations, a lot of unnecessary heartache, and a WordPress installation that isn’t capable of updating itself properly.

    Some references that might send you in a good direction if you want to keep pushing forward with it: “how to” wordpress on Ubuntu “apt-get install wordpress”

    “how to” wordpress on Debian “apt-get install wordpress”
