Ee_install is a project mainly written in ..., it's free.

ExpressionEngine Install Script

This is the beginnings of an ExpressionEngine install script. At the moment all it does is:

  • Drop the existing database (assumed to be expressionengine220)
  • Create a new database
  • Create config.php and database.php if they don't exist
  • Fix permissions on config.php, database.php, and cache/
  • Delete existing image directories used for testing
  • Create image directories for testing
  • Changes out system/index.php so install can actually happen

Plans

Eventually, this script will be able to do a whole ExpressionEngine install given the necessary information. It will have intelligent defaults, but allow you to customize as well.

  • Prompt for configuration information, but have smart defaults
  • Fix system/index.php when done
  • Use python fixtures to add dummy data
  • Use curl to download a large batch of pictures
