Mass Install 100 blogs

  • We’re running a seminar where each delegate will have their own domain and we want to mass-install and configure the blog for their domain. We do not want to use MU as after the seminar people will manage their own blogs and neither the blogs nor the domains will have any commonality to each other.

    Is there a script anyone knows of that can help us with this?

    Thanks.

    Not really a WordPress install question but a system admin question…

    What platform will the delegates be using? Linux/UNIX/BSD or Wintel? And how will your webserver be handling the 100 seminar blogs? Will you be using suPHP?

    I was worried to post it in a sysadmin forum in case anyone said it should be in a WordPress forum ??

    Linux, there will be a separate hosting account for each blog. May be using suPHP.

    What better place then in the WordPress installation question to inquire about the mass installation of WordPress?

    Well, if you use suPHP then you setup 100 users in Linux and they get full file rights to the WordPress install in their home directories. suPHP lets the PHP run as the file owner, in this case the delegate user.

    After that, it’s 100 mysql DB installs and 100 file copies of WordPress to their home directories. The mysql db installs and wp-config.php files can be generated with a shell script.

    The delegates would go to their public_html URL and play with their separate installation of WordPress without impacting any other users.
