Day 29

Log: 5pm - 7pm

Today's Goals:

-Get the plugin install thing to work... with any plugin
-Get your Salient theme installed.

Begin

https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions

If you want to use the built-in theme editor, all files need to be group writable. Try using it before modifying file permissions, it should work. (This may be true if different users uploaded the WordPress package and the Plugin or Theme. This wouldn't be a problem for Plugin and Themes installed via the admin. When uploading files with different ftp users group writable is needed. On shared hosting, make sure the group is exclusive to users you trust... the apache user shouldn't be in the group and shouldn't own files.)

TO CHANGE FILE PERMISSIONS in WinSCP, just right click any file and goto properties.  :)

Installing themes / plugins w/ wordpress -- here's my idea:

1. Get wordpress theme editor to FTP into server.
2. Change permissions to 777 for testwp1 (anyone in the server can read, write, and execute anything in wordpress)
3. Install theme
4. Reset permissions.

FTP access for wordpress: repost from Day 22 of initial renaissance:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7052875/setting-up-ftp-on-amazon-cloud-server

FTP Hostname should be ftp.52.11.177.228 I think

NOPE... no ftp in front :)  just 52.11.177.228

Made a new user cuz I couldn't find the old ones... he is:

wptest1user

pass is rwar###ij :)  (not the real password, obviously.  But even if someone gets it, they can only edit the testwp1 blog since that's the only place it has access to... I think.

and BANG plugins work.

Salient is installed.  My objectives are complete.  2 Hrs.



mmmmmmm look at this baby...
