Building a Wordpress site on Openshift to scale

Openshift's default app generator sets Wordpress creation of sites to be a non-scalable version of their gears. I'd like to know if there is a way to set a scalable instance and install wordpress on it.

thanks!

Solution

  • I am working on this today actually and got a scalable wordpress site up and running on OpenShift. (www.runcloudrun.com)

    I disabled the symlinks in the action_hooks and manually added my theme and plugins to the php/wp-content/themes and plugins directory. I also used a S3 plugin to store all of my media files on amazon s3 so my images and media would scale once OpenShift adds addiontal gears.

    I am writing a blog post on how to do all of this and it should be posted later this week.
