Multi site automation
| Posted by DevNine, 02-14-2011, 08:09 PM |
| Hi,
I've about 30 domains. The majority run wordpress under windows. I use a reseller account and access each domain individually via ftp. I use plesk as a control panel.
It's turning into a right pain when it comes to adding a new domain.
I loginto the control panel.
Manually add the domain.
Then open my ftp software and add the account details.
Then ftp to the new account and upload wordpress.*
Then login into phpmyadmin and create a wordpress database.
Then finally start configuring the site.
Then goto google analytics and add the site.
When I want to add 3 domains in one go I have to do the above for each domain.There must be a easier way! I use a skeleton directory which automates the wordpress uploading.
What I want to do is somehow click one button which adds the domain to my hosting, adds a new site in my ftp client and creates a database.
Anyone got any ideas? What do big domain players do in such circumstances?

| You could write a script that would do all that for you but that's more trouble than it's probably worth.
I would say set up Softaculous to use for the installations, or use WordPress multisite with the domain mapping plugin if you only need blogs.
