mv -i oldname newnameCopying a directory (and it’s contents) recursively:
cp -r /etc/ /var/tmp/backup/Create folder
mkdir foldernameWhy host images on a separate subdomain?
- A separate domain prevents your domain’s cookies from being sent for every image request, where they’re not needed. Reduces the bandwidth overhead for each request.
- Most browsers will only make a certain number of HTTP requests at one time to a particular domain, so serving images and other static content off a second domain potentially doubles the number of HTTP requests at one time.
- You can conceivably use a different, lighter weight webserver like nginx/lighttpd to serve the static content.

Download WordPress to site

tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz
sudo rsync -av wordpress/* /var/www/sarah/public_htmlOLD WAY Upload WordPress zip to directory
unzip wordpress.zipMake whole site writable for WordPress (wp-content needed for plugins, wp-admin needed for wordpress update)
I think you need to set like this instead (if you have trouble installing plugins after this then I was wrong)
find /var/www/sarah/public_html -type d -exec chmod 775 {} \;
find /var/www/sarah/public_html -type f -exec chmod 664 {} \;Then update to belong to user:
sudo chown -R sarah:www-data /var/www/sarah/public_htmlGo to IP alias or domain and follow wizard
After wizard complete, download wp-config.php and add this line to bottom so users can upload plugins using admin
if(is_admin()) {
add_filter('filesystem_method', create_function('$a', 'return "direct";' ));
define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0751 );
