The only difficulty is that because it's a PHP and your trying to run it on Redbrick you've got to modify the files. You need to add '#!/usr/local/bin/php' to the beginning of any PHP file that will be excuted. But which ones?

Well I've already done it so here is the list of files you'll need to modify to get it installed and up and running. There maybe more but they'll be corner cases rather than anything else. This is only applicable to version 1.5!

==Fixing the Dashboard==
But there is one final step. Once installed and working, you may notice that the "Dashboard", the page that welcomes you when you login, looks a bit ''blank''. Well this is because Wordpress is attempting to download other websites relevant to Wordpress such as the Wordpress Dev Blog.
To fix this, open 'wp-include/class-snoopy.php' and search for 'var $proxy_host'. Set 'proxy_host' to "proxy.dcu.ie", 'proxy_port' to "8080".
var $proxy_host = "proxy.dcu.ie";
var $proxy_port = "8080";
Now search for the variable '_isproxy' and set it to "true".
var $_isproxy   = true;
Now the dashboard should work properly.
