Hi Shacker,

I am interested with the new features that Denny suggested. Hope we can have the next version soon. Thanks.

Denny – wpcreate already does generate the key for you. The rest are good suggestions. I’m in the middle of another project for a while but will definitely do these for the next revision. Patches welcome.

how bout a new features: auto fill for latest wp version, and auto generate db user & passwd, secret key and table prefix.

imho, no one need to know any of these. if anyone want to know, just read the generated config file.

Johan – ” svn: command not found” means, of course, that you don’t have svn installed. Obviously you’ll need to install subversion if you want to use a tool that wp-create that’s all about managing WP via subversion.

As for the fantastico problem… I’m very familiar with that one Your goal here is to take control of managing upgrades out of your user’s hands and put it in your own hands. And unfortunately that means a few things. 1) You need to disable WordPress in Fantastico so people are no longer able to use it, and 2) You need to convert all of those old non-subversion installations into subversion installations. I don’t have a script for that but I did write most of the Codex page covering the process — the last section of http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing/Updating_WordPress_with_Subversion . So yes, that initial process will be painful, but once you have all installations converted, the upgrade path server-wide becomes seamless and effortless. Worth putting the work in up front.

Hi,

Also if i have got fantastico installation will i be able to do a mass update on those as well by including them in the list without doing a fresh install.

(i have +- 120 wp installations and getting tired of doing upgrades one by one so this will work perfectly for me)

Thanks
Johan

Thanks for the quick and efficient reply, I managed to make it run by changing those lines as I am indeed not using CPanel. I will now try to extend the script by appending the correct Virtual Host value and restart Apache: as I have a wildcard DNS thingy, this should make an instant functional Wordpress install.
You have an interesting blog by the way !
Kudos for sharing such nice scripts.

Dennis – You’ll want to comment out either of line 50 or 51. If your system is not cPanel, you probably want to comment out line 51 (still I’m surprised you’re getting that error…)

Also try and “show invisibles” in your text editor to make sure you haven’t introduced some kind of hidden character after a line somewhere.

Great work, found this as I was about to (painfully) try and write a script to that effect. Apparently though, I get a syntax error when trying to run it on a standard (CentOS) dedicated Linux server: After all the input infos are entered, the script outputs
“./WP-create.sh: line 52: syntax error near unexpected token `newline’”
Did I do something wrong on installing it ?
Thank you !

sweet… like to be cautious and not get in over my head technical skill-level.
