Apache+PHP buildpack for Wordpress

This is a buildpack bundling PHP and Apache for Heroku, which is perfect to use for Wordpress apps such as The Feed

See The Feed Repo for more information on how its .buildpack file loads the heroku-wordpress-php buildpack.

Configuration

The config files are bundled with the LP itself:

conf/httpd.conf
conf/php.ini

Pre-compiling binaries

Necessary only if you are looking to compile and host your own binaries. After you complete these steps, you will have to upload them to S3 and then point bin/compile to the new sources.
