INSTALLATION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will need to create a table for your WordPress database. This
|
||
|
|
assumes you have some knowledge of MySQL, and already have it
|
||
|
|
installed and configured. If not, please refer to the Gentoo MySQL
|
||
|
|
guide at the following URL:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-howto.xml
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Log in to MySQL, and create a new database as well as a user with full
|
||
|
|
access to this database. After that you will need to provide the details
|
||
|
|
of this database and the associated user within the file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
${MY_INSTALLDIR}/wp-config.php
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally you should be able to log in to WordPress at
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR}
|
||
|
|

!!!!!!!!! SECURITY WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Wordpress has had a history of serious security flaws. Any application
|
||
|
|
with less widespread use but the same amount of security issues would
|
||
|
|
have been removed from the tree.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After a short period of being in the unstable tree we once again decided
|
||
|
|
that we hard mask the package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE WHATSOEVER THAT THE PACKAGE WILL
|
||
|
|
GET UPGRADED WITHIN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME EVEN IN THE CASE OF
|
||
|
|
SEVERE SECURITY ISSUES.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We consider installing this package a severe risk to your system and
|
||
|
|
you should keep a close eye on the common security trackers so
|
||
|
|
that you are able to fix problems with your installation yourself if
|
||
|
|
required.
