By popular demand, here is the step-by-step guide for configuring WordPress with Google Cloud Storage.
The slides have notes, they are a little hard to discover with the SlideShare interface, look for a tab below the slide that looks like “Notes on Slide #”.
Hello, I have ClouSE running on my Amazon EC2 instance … works wonderfully well….
Occasionally, I am noticing that when I refresh the website, I am being redirected to http://www.mysite.com/clouse-web-config/
Here, I am seeing a popup dialog that says “Data already exists at the entered location.”.
This happens occasionally only on refreshing the current page.
Any ideas on how to prevent this from happening?
TIA
Posted by Guy FromIndia | February 3, 2013, 11:06 amThis is a problem with the Cloud Storage Connection configurator that is fixed in the recent WordPress-on-S3 / Yapixx AMIs (Jan 31 and later).
Posted by Artem Livshits | February 3, 2013, 4:25 pmThanks Artem. I just built my blog and have the AMI dated mid Jan 2013 (I think). Is there a way to upgrade this existing installation to the latest? Any help is appreciated!
Posted by Guy FromIndia | February 3, 2013, 8:54 pmYou should be able to just copy your /var/www/wordpress content to the instance created from the new AMI, shutdown your old instance and configure the new instance to use the same storage location. Or you can contact us and someone could patch your instance with the fix.
Posted by Artem Livshits | February 3, 2013, 10:03 pmHi, Folks! I just successfully opened a WordPress-like account using Oblaksoft.com’s Yapixx (BTW: trying to view the Google APIs page on my desktop was a major problem that I’m still not sure how I fixed).
Here’s the present thing. I am not an accomplished developer (to say I’m not a developer would be incorrect, since I’m trying to develop this thing…). I have two WordPress.com sites: one called optimysticliving.wordpress.com and one called optimysticlivingevents.wordpress.com. I wish to integrate both into a hub website entitled, http://www.drclairefitzpatrick.com. So I need to configure my DNS servers to the Google cloud. Right now, my name is parked in Godaddy. Without getting too immersed in my plans: how do I get my very own http://www.drclairefitzpatrick.com to reflect my WordPress blog, once I migrate it from wordpress.com to wordpress.org (if I need to pick only one, I’ll pick optimysticlivig.wordpress.com)? Thank you!

You need to know the IP address of the web server running WordPress. Once you know it, you can use GoDaddy’s DNS editor to associate this IP address with your site’s name. See for example http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/7920/adding-or-editing-a-records?locale=en.
Posted by Artem Livshits | February 28, 2013, 10:31 pmHi, Artem. Thank you for trying to address my problem, but my problem is I do not know where to find the proper IP address. I am using the Taxweb portal to a Linux server, the one that was in the instructions on the setup, and Godaddy doesn’t seem to recognize the PHP address. Right now, my site seems to say “http://localhost” and has no other info. I can’t access it at all except through the Linux window. Thanks again.

I appreciate all of your work and effort into providing these tools and instructions, they are a great help to many of use self-taught/teaching designer and developers.
I was able to get wordpress running within virtualbox on google pretty easily , however can you provide me some direction on how to get the google cloud service to use a custom domain. I know I will need to change cname records and A records with my registrar, and I see above that I need to know the ip address of the server running wordpress, but I am not sure where or how to find this information with googles dashboard.

Thank you for using ClouSE and WP2Cloud!
The IP address that you need to know is the IP address of the machine that runs WordPress. In this case this the IP address of your virtual appliance and it depends on the infrastructure that you use to run it. E.g. if you rent a physical server from a hoster, you need to talk to the hoster, etc. Feel free to contact us for further clarifications.
