# yum -y install wordpress
By default installation, WordPress would be installed into /usr/share/wordpress. If you want to run wordpress from your apache root folder like /var/www/html/wordpress, simply issue the below commands.
# cd /var/www/html # ln -s /usr/share/wordpress
Login to your MySQL server
# mysql -u root -pYOURMYSQL-PASSWORD
Once inside your MySQL server, create a new database to be used by WordPress like so
mysql> create database wordpress-db; mysql> quit
Then launch your favorite editor and edit /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php. And edit the db info:
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress-db'); // The name of the database define('DB_USER', 'usernamehere'); // Your MySQL username define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere'); // ...and password
Start your Apache and MySQL server
# service apache start; service mysqld start
Fire up your browser and open your WordPress management page like so:
http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
That's basically it.
If you got an error saying, Error establishing a database connection, check you database name, database username and password. Make sure your apache and mysql are both running.
PS: Sorry, I was away from all the Mailing List, for somedays. So da delay.
