Well, it’s less than 2 hours later, and I’ve gone from downloading Ubuntu to having a pretty decent setup, including a normal working desktop with the correct resolution and all of the blog related software (apache, php, wordpress, mysql) up and running. Very happy so far. Seems to have much better / easier availability of packages than Redhat.
I went with Apache 2 even though my gut was telling me to stay with 1.3 . I’ll probably flip the switch tomorrow and have the blog hosted by the new box. Now, time to sleep.
May I ask you how you did it under Ubuntu? Because I’m new to Apache, PHP, MySQL, AND WordPress, I’m completely lost (no Ubuntu Breezy HowTo on setting up the machine for blogging, which doesn’t surprise me, I suppose). I’ve installed the packages, but I still don’t know what to do. Specifically, I was trying to create a database, but phpMyAdmin did not help (the browser wanted to dl the stupid php file instead of RUN it!). Help help!
