# Create DB if needed - remove if not wanted
# needs ~/.my.cnf for password and username
mysql -e "create database $dbname"

### Create a subfolder if needed:
if [ ! -d $newdir ]; then
        mkdir $newdir
fi
cd $newdir

### Install WordPress and create the wp-config.php file...
# We add the --force so WP CLI doesn't get confused by some other wp version that might be running on this domain.

wp core download --force
wp core config --dbname=$dbname --dbprefix=$dbprefix

#finish the last step of a usual WordPress installation

wp core install --url=$wpurl --title="$wptitle" --admin_user=$adminuser --admin_email=$adminemail --admin_password=$adminpass
