Automatically Install WordPress and Create Database on Plesk

Overview

This code was inspired, well, by laziness.

It automatically creates a MySql database and User using the provided information; Downloads the latest version of WP and unzips it; Changes your config-wp.php to work with the newly created database. Uses SSH2 to connect to shell.

Feel free to use it as is or modify it to your needs. Please report bugs and fixes.

Tested on Plesk 12.0.18.

Requirements

1. Odin (former Parallels) Plesk
2. Root access
3. PHP 5+
