I just run vsftpd with listen_address=127.0.0.1 . This way users have SFTP access to server but for Wordpress they can just use FTP with ‘localhost’ as a hostname and remote FTP connections are not possible

Yes, this works for plugins as well. I’m pretty confident it would work for Wordpress MU too but I haven’t tried it.

Pushing a local branch to a checked out remote branch won’t update the working tree on the remote repo. You’ll have to go in and do `git checkout` to update the working tree.

I’ve got a `src` folder in my web apps in which I do a `git init`. That will check out the `master` branch, which is where I’m comitting the code in my local repo that production-safe.

After I’m happy with everything, I do `git push` to my repo and run `git checkout` to get the latest code out on the server.

Adding SFTP support to PHP with libssh2 is an absolute nightmare. Just take a look at all the posts on Kevin’s blog (as linked to above). And to think that for every one person who got it working ten people probably gave up. That’s a pretty sad testament to the ssh2 PECL extension.

And, of course, all of that assumes you even have that kind of access to the server. Those of us on shared hosts don’t even have that. Sure, we can switch webhosts, but we can also switch webapps, too.

Really, I don’t know why the Wordpress devs don’t just add phpseclib support.

Hello, Tom. I’m Daniel, a technical writer at WebFaction. This is an excellent tutorial! It’s also the approach I’d recommend on our system. It’s my plan to officially document pushing to git repositories hosted on WebFaction soon, but it’s always nice to see WebFaction users helping out when something isn’t covered yet.

@zobi8225: yes just add the extension=ssh2.so line to php5/cgi/php.ini (or php5/cli/php.ini if your installation uses that)

@zobi8225: yes. Just add extension=ssh2.so into the php5/cgi/php.ini and restart lighttpd.

Yes, you would do a git pull as you would essentially have two repositories on the webfaction server: one you had pushed the changes to, and one containing the working copy. To be honest, if you did git init instead of git --bare init then you would be pushing the changes to a repository with a working copy (so you could also skip the Now to setup a working directory section) so git checkout would suffice. I haven't tested that as when I set it up, git --bare init was useful to what I was doing. It might not be necessary in most cases though. I shall investigate and update the post if that's the case.
