sandboxing WordPress on Ubuntu – when everything DOESN’T go just right
So I found what looked like some good instructions for setting up a WordPress (WP) sandbox on your local Ubuntu machine. Unfortunately, the instructions I found are only good if you DON’T SCREW ANYTHING UP AT ALL.
That includes if, before you found the instructions, you had already tried some other instructions and sort of already maybe done some of the stuff (looks innocently away…)
I would provide helpful tips on how to recover here, but I haven’t quite figured it out yet myself. What seems to be the key, though, is to get MySQL set up properly, then don’t mess with it and DEFINITELY don’t delete it and try to start over without fully cleaning up.
More to come once I figure out how to recover….
