However, for the benefit of any doubt, *prior to upgrading from the WP Dashboard (the easiest way but always backup first)*, at the terminal, logged into your server of course:-</p> <p>sudo chown -R www-data:webmasters /path/to/public</p> <p>And to revert to stricter, safer permissions after the update:-</p> <p>sudo chown -R USERNAME:webmasters /path/to/public</p> <p>...

By going to /var/log $ php5-fpm.log. I have found the following error message.<br /> [ERROR] bind() for address '127.0.0.1:9000' failed: Address already in use (98). Next I found this article at <a href="http://serverfault.com/questions/308820/ubuntu-php-fpm-not-starting" rel="nofollow">http://serverfault.com/questions/308820/ubuntu-php-fpm-not-starting</a>. I therefore start looking for which process is running on that port by running <strong> lsof -i -P</strong>. I think shows me that php-cgi is taking up that port. I then run ps aux | grep php to find the process. Then I use the kill command to end the process. After that I run /etc/init.d/php5-fpm start and everything seems to work fine. Well we shall if everything works. Still this is no answer because I have to kill the process for fastcgi. </p> http://vpsbible.com/forums/topic/rebuilding-site#post-2695 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 18:43:44 +0000 Marcus West 2695@http://vpsbible.com/forums/ <p>email me Joe</p> <p><a href="mailto:marcuswestgb@gmail.com">marcuswestgb@gmail.com</a> </p> http://vpsbible.com/forums/topic/rebuilding-site#post-2694 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 16:26:25 +0000 Joe Crocetta 2694@http://vpsbible.com/forums/ <p>really?

Less variability allows you to track down bugs faster. </p> <p>I am actually in the process of making them identical... I am using ubuntu 11.04 and apache on my dev machine and ubuntu 10.04 and nginx 1.06 on my linode.. at least my next step is to get my web servers in sync .. I don't think the Ubuntu 10 and 11 difference should matter that much. But it is a variable and would come into my mind if I had to troubleshoot.</p> <p>Then I can swing sites from dev to production without worrying too much.</p> <p>In your case I'm not sure if the OS difference is that profound, I don't think it should be, but in the end it is a difference, so when something doesn't go as expected you should keep that variable in mind as a possible suspect. </p> http://vpsbible.com/forums/topic/rebuilding-site#post-2688 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 22:02:58 +0000 Marcus West 2688@http://vpsbible.com/forums/ <p>Do you set up the identical set up for your cloud server on a local server?</p> <p>If my cloud server is say Ubuntu, would it matter if my local server was, say, CentoS...</p> <p>? </p> http://vpsbible.com/forums/topic/rebuilding-site#post-2687 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 21:40:30 +0000 Marcus West 2687@http://vpsbible.com/forums/ <p>Cheers Joe,</p> <p>Its all a bit of an unknown for me to be honest...I don't really know what a development server is.... </p> http://vpsbible.com/forums/topic/rebuilding-site#post-2686 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 17:52:18 +0000 Joe Crocetta 2686@http://vpsbible.com/forums/ <p>I think both ways you suggest are fine methods. </p> <p>Maybe even a combination of both ... first build it on a dev server, then ftp it up to production ... then make the switch from exiting to new. </p> http://vpsbible.com/forums/topic/rebuilding-site#post-2683 Sat, 22 Oct 2011 10:42:10 +0000 Marcus West 2683@http://vpsbible.com/forums/ <p>I am having to rebuild my site because of a mishap.</p> <p>What would people suggest for a system of rebuilding your site in one place, whilst keeping your existing site up, and then deleting the old and transferring the new seamlessly?</p> <p>Is the best way to build the site in a virtual server environment somewhere(?) and then going into ftp and pulling out old files and dropping in new? </p> http://vpsbible.com/forums/topic/starting-php5-fpm-failed#post-2677 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 16:07:53 +0000 Ran 2677@http://vpsbible.com/forums/ <p>I had the happening to me.
