Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome tutorial. It really helped me out, considering I had NO idea how to even start making a mysql database, and then didn’t understand what that symbolic link nonsense was all about. So, thanks!

All seems to work fine however when access the install.php file via the web browser I get the following error
UID of script “/usr/share/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php” is smaller than min_uid

Instead of checking out from SVN (which may not always yield a stable version, or one that is compatible with all plugins), I would just download the latest version directly from wordpress.org. Most of the tutorial in my post still applies; simply swap out the apt-get step with downloading and unpacking this archive.

They don’t keep it up to date good. I moved my WordPress from /var/www to /usr/share and installed this with apt-get install wordpress but it installed a 2.2.2 one and they have 2.2.3 out now. It says to update it right on the main log in page.

I could not get it working with my Data base so I used svn command to get it:

mkdir /usr/share/wordpress
cd /usr/share/wordpress
svn co http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/ .

It installed a bata one. But it’s working real good for now. It had to update my data base then all worked right. I had to edit the data base before I did the upgrade link to cheange links in wp2_options in database WordPress.

This looks like a better way to keep it up to day then the apt-get install wordpress

But because of that I found were it should be installed in /usr/share/wordpress

Thanks for the compliments John Svid. This post contains more information on this theme. Long story short, it's not officially available anywhere, it's just been passed down from one person to the next, with modifications each generation. We probably should all get together and release if officially.

Wow great site! Some really helpful information there.
I’m sorry for little off-topic, but I want to ask you about design of this site.
Did you make this template yourself or got from any templates website?
Looks pretty cool for me. Wonderful well this reading.
