In this post I’ve written down my methods to make deployment and changing locations of WordPress Multisite installations easier by adhering to certain assumptions

Deploying WordPress from a local machine to another location such as a testserver is annoying, because there is no easy way to export and import settings (although menu’s and other content can be exported and imported!). WordPress saves configuration options in the database and often these settings are part of serialized arrays (see Serialization) . Making it hard to change these by hand or using a deployment script. Imagine working with multiple developers, several plugins and it becomes a real pain in the ass to keep track of configuration changes.

I’m working on a project in which I need a directory to be editable by a group of users. This directory will contain files and directories to be served by a webserver (in my case Apache). I’m using Linux (Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS) and my users should not be bothered with setting up rights or changing any.
I couldn’t find any detailed instructions on the best way to achieve this, so I’ve decided to write down my own process using bits of hints and tips from various sources to document my thought process. It may contain errors or there might be better ways. If you notice an error or know of better methods, please leave a comment.
