MySQL and WordPress

Due: 6:30pm, Tuesday, November 28, 2006

1. Install MySQL, either from source or using your distribution's package manager.
2. Setup PHP to be able to communicate with the MySQL server. This may involve recompiling PHP. Apache does not have to be recompiled if PHP was setup as an Apache module.
3. Install WordPress and set it up.
4. Post to your new blog.
5. Turn on URL rewriting so your URLs are nicer.
