Installing Wordpress on Redbrick

Wordpress is a nifty open-source PHP Content Management (or "blogging") web tool. You can use it to handle your website blog with ease.

The latest version of Wordpress 2.1.x. Instructions for the previous version of Wordpress 2.0.x (specifically 2.0.4) can be found on this page.

The Easy Option

To make life a little easier, you can run this script which will download the latest wordpress, unpack the archive and modify the headers for you. All you need to do then is set it up with your SQL details.

/home/associat/c/cammy/bin/install-wordpress-2.1.2

This script will create a subdirectory called "wordpress". You can rename and move this directory however you please. This is for release 2.1.2 of wordpress. It will also patch the necessary files to make sure everything is working.

Hint: The script /home/associat/c/cammy/bin/install-wordpress will always point to the latest version of the wordpress install script.
