Install WordPress on Ubuntu 10.04 Slicehost (Part 2)
20 Dec 2010
In Part 1 we setup a new virtual host instance using Slicehost. The steps can be pretty much the same for any new Ubuntu server. It’s just that in this case we are using 10.04 on Slicehost.
Once you have the slice up and running then you probably want to do an update and then run a simple script to install and configure WordPress. Here is a nice script that will install WordPress and add a couple of plugins as a bonus!
Note there is a second SQL script to setup the db that is required. It is shown after the first script below. You’ll probably want to replace YOUR-USERNAME and YOUR-PASSWORD with your own values! Note also that the name of the MySQL database is wordpress (which you can also change if you like)
Here is the setupdb.sql script that is used in the above installation script.
What about Apache configuration I hear you cry! Let’s put that in Part 3 shall we?!
