Composer Wordpress Cookbook

This cookbook installs and configures wordpress via composer. It utilises the wordpress composer package by John P. Bloch and is inspired by an article from Smashing Magazine. The cookbook also uses the Koodimooni dropin installer to easily install your favorite languages. All wordpress plugins/themes can be installed via the great wpackagist plattform by outlandish.

Requirements

• Tested on Chef version 12.2.1. It should work with earlier versions.

• Tested with Ubuntu 14.04 x64, but should work on any Ubuntu.

• Apache2 = 2.4.

• Mysql >= 5.5 as your RDBMS.

Make sure you have a LAMP-Stack running before using this.

Cookbook dependencies

composer openssl database apache2 mysql2_chef_gem, github: mychiara/mysql2_chef_gem

The community cookbook uses a version method in the mysql_provider which causes an error while installing the mysql2_gem. This error causes chef to (sadly) never succesfully complete the provisioning process.

Recipes

One should only use the default cookbook ;)
