I wanted it installed into public_html/blog.com/public/subdir.</p> <p>Thinking the domain name variable might actually be the path, I tried adding /public/subdir but that didn't work either.</p> <p>I noticed this section in the script:</p> <p>#inc_scriptWPSvn<br /> cd /home/$USER/public_html/$DOMAIN/public<br /> mv index.php indexBACKUP.php<br /> svn co <a href="http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/$WPVER" rel="nofollow">http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/$WPVER</a> .</p> <p>Now, if my variable is set to:</p> <p>export DOMAIN="blog.com/subdir" </p> <p>the location becomes:</p> <p>/home/$USER/public_html/blog.com/subdir/public</p> <p>It should be:</p> <p>/home/$USER/public_html/blog.com/public/subdir</p> <p>Not sure if this is possible but, could the variable DOMAIN be changed to ROOT-DOMAIN and a variable of SUB-DIR be added so the command would read:</p> <p>cd /home/$USER/public_html/$ROOT-DOMAIN/public/$SUB-DIR</p> <p>If WP is to be installed in the root directory, the SUB-DIR variable could be commented out.</p> <p>I guess you'd also need an if statement to either append $SUB-DIR to the path or not. </p> http://vpsbible.com/forums/topic/wp-stackscript-install-to-sub-directory#post-1300 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 21:26:42 +0000 the_guv 1300@http://vpsbible.com/forums/ <p>copy/replace for sure, just be aware that there is no variable used when the vhost is first made .. sed replacement commands are used afterwards instead </p> <p>and be aware when you're root when you use ~/ ..! </p> http://vpsbible.com/forums/topic/wp-stackscript-install-to-sub-directory#post-1291 Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:59:06 +0000 Barnaby 1291@http://vpsbible.com/forums/ <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Instead of replacing USER with the actual username I guess I could use the variable $USER or, even easier, just use ~/ to replace home/USER/ </p> http://vpsbible.com/forums/topic/wp-stackscript-install-to-sub-directory#post-1280 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 17:56:34 +0000 the_guv 1280@http://vpsbible.com/forums/ <p>"What changes have to be made to the WP Stackscript to achieve this?"</p> <p>change the domain and the db details</p> <p>"Also, once I've finished testing a blog, how do I remove it and it's database?
