Wordpress installed. I’m using the 2.2.1 version. Reading the documentation at wordpress.org took longer than the installation. Even creating the mysql database and a new id for it took longer. To summarize …

1. Make sure you have php 4.2 or later, and mysql 4.0 or later. Create a new database and/or mysql login for Wordpress (if desired).

2. Download the wordpress zip file. Unzip it.

3. Rename the wordpress-2.2.1\wordpress directory to wordpress-2.2.1\prw. Copy the entire prw directory to your webserver.

4. Copy the file wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and edit it, putting in the mysql login details.

5. Run \prw\wp-admin\install.php, this will create tables called wp_* in your database, and you’re good to go.
