PHP applications are deployed using Apache and mod_php. For each CloudFoundry instance of the application, an Apache instance is started.

The Wordpress CMS can be run using CloudFoundry PHP support with very minimal changes.

Steps to get the application to run:

1. curl -O http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

2. tar -xzf latest.tar.gz

3. rm latest.tar.gz

4. cd wordpress

5. echo "<?php" > wp-salt.php

6. curl https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/ >> wp-salt.php

7. Create wp-config.php, and set it to:

            <?php
            $services = getenv("VCAP_SERVICES");
            $services_json = json_decode($services,true);
            $mysql_config = $services_json["mysql-5.1"][0]["credentials"];
   
            // ** MySQL settings from resource descriptor ** //
            define('DB_NAME', $mysql_config["name"]);
            define('DB_USER', $mysql_config["user"]);
            define('DB_PASSWORD', $mysql_config["password"]);
            define('DB_HOST', $mysql_config["hostname"]);
            define('DB_PORT', $mysql_config["port"]);
   
            define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
            define('DB_COLLATE', '');
            define ('WPLANG', '');
            define('WP_DEBUG', false);
   
            require('wp-salt.php');
   
            $table_prefix  = 'wp_';
   
            /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
   
            /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
            if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
                    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
   
            /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
            require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
