This git repository helps you get up and running quickly w/ a Wordpress installation on OpenShift. The backend database is MySQL and the database name is the same as your application name (using $_ENV['OPENSHIFT_APP_NAME']). You can name your application whatever you want. However, the name of the database will always match the application so you might have to update .openshift/action_hooks/build.
Create an account at http://openshift.redhat.com/
Create a php-5.3 application (you can call your application whatever you want)
rhc app create -a wordpress -t php-5.3
Add MySQL support to your application
rhc app cartridge add -a wordpress -c mysql-5.1
Add this upstream Wordpress repo
cd wordpress
git remote add upstream -m master git://github.com/openshift/wordpress-example.git
git pull -s recursive -X theirs upstream master
# note that the git pull above can be used later to pull updates to Wordpress
Then push the repo upstream
git push
That's it, you can now checkout your application at:
http://wordpress-$yournamespace.rhcloud.com

GIT_ROOT/.openshift/action_hooks/deploy: This script is executed with every 'git push'. Feel free to modify this script to learn how to use it to your advantage. By default, this script will create the database tables that this example uses.
If you need to modify the schema, you could create a file
GIT_ROOT/.openshift/action_hooks/alter.sql and then use
GIT_ROOT/.openshift/action_hooks/deploy to execute that script (make sure to
back up your application + database w/ 'rhc app snapshot save' first :) )
This repository contains configuration files with security related variables.
Since this is a shared repository, any applications derived from it will share those variables, thus reducing the security of your application.
You should follow the directions below and push your updated files to OpenShift immediately.
The following table lists files and the procedure for securing.
