I have been trying to host a wordpress site in gae. Have been facing issue, even established plugin seem to break. I created this ticket seeking experts input and advice. I am java developer and have no idea about wordpress, php and google cloud. so your input's are appreciated.
With google cloud's, gae env. The plugin are deployed to the local wordpress env running in google cloud container. Then using google cloud command line tool to google app engine and activated. A plugin can not directly be deployed to gae wordpress env as the wp-content folder is read only.
Is this feasible?, most of the plugin seem to break even the established like (genesis). I came across the following error.
The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.
Fatal error: Class 'EE_DMS_Core_4_1_0' not found
Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2013/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
-- when creating page with a plugin
A member from a google team asked to extract the file directly to wordpress/wp-content/plugins
or wordpress/wp-content/themes
. I tried and that don't seem to work either, wordpress is not picking those plugin. The plugin I tried are Genesis framework and child theme, event espresso.
I doubt if wordpress can oblige to google cloud way of doing things. Please clarify.
