Hi all,
I'm using a server template to duplicate a WordPress install. It's working great but it's slow...
My question is: Is it possible to ONLY do variable substation on one file? My server creation is taking about 9 minutes, because VM is looping through every single file in the skeleton directory. I have a skeleton setup with the following File patterns not to substitute value: capabilities.php *post.php *comment.php *registration.php wp-includes wp-content* wp-admin*
The reason I'm ignoring those four PHP files is because WordPress has some variables which are the same as the VM variables.
I can't figure out how to get VM to ignore the wp-includes, wp-content, and wp-admin folders - that would at least speed things up dramatically.
If this isn't possible, is there a way to add some type of hook? If there was I could include only wp-config.php in my skeleton and then copy over the rest of the wordpress install in some other way.
If anyone has any ideas I greatly appreciate it!!!
Howdy,
Take a peek in System Settings -> Server Templates -> Default -> Home Directory.
Jamie recently added a feature that that would allow you to specify a regex for file patterns to not perform the substitutions.

Sweet!
I'm an idiot with regex. Do you by any chance have a sample usage example?
I'll take a look now - thank you!
I took a look there and wasn't able to find the option for a regex file. Maybe you mean the setting that I'm already using - "File patterns not to substitute"
Does anyone know the regex command to only run substitute on public_html/wp-config.php, and no other files in the skeleton?
Whenever you can not find a feature in Virtualmin GPL, it is probably only a Pro feature. You can always compare with Pro demo at demo.virtualmin.com.
I'm using Virtualmin Pro...
@snapmin thanks for the tip. That demo URL - the user/pass combo is demo/demo, right? I logged in and I don't see VM installed there - just webmin. Is that the correct URL?
Alex, sorry, forgot to mention:
vm root/demo wm demo/demo
