The starting point is that the user ALREADY has his own website[s]. It occured to me while I was soaking away the pains in my antique bones last night that in order to sho wthe BSD user howto host his own installation of wordpress _from scratch*, i would need to cover mysql, php5, _Plus_ the slew of stuff that has to do with apache and DNS .... and the whole truckload of stuff. Too much. (There really is a great wealth of knowledge in us as a group; we could create an online self-published how-to book and sell on amazon.com ---every penny going to the FBSD Foundation.) Still, other than having an up-to-date ports tree; my how-to will include things like having the right mysql, php5-mysql, and unpacking the wordpress files in the right place. --Oh, and selling up the database stuff too. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix Journey Toward the Dawn, E-Book: http://www.thought.org The 7.97a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org
