It only makes sense installed on a web server. Unless you are running Apache (httpd), and MySQL server on your desktop machine, it really makes little sense to install it there. I have it on *my* 'desktop' machine, but I am indeed running Apache, MySQL server, etc. and have my 'desktop' machine set up to be a local (not seen on the public InterNet) web server -- I do this to test things like CGI scripts, web pages, and (presently) WordPress hacks (I am coding my own WordPress theme for my company website). *I* do this so as to confine in-development bugs [eg 500 Internal Server Error type messages], etc. to my local machine and not put up totally broken web sites while I work on stuff. I would expect that you are not going to be messing with PHP code or write your own theme from scratch, etc. What you need to do is talk to your hosting provider about getting WordPress installed on your web host. This also means your hosting provider needs to set you up with a MySQL database w/ MySQL username & password. Once that is done you would just launch the web browser of your choice (eg Firefox, Seamonkey, etc.) and go to http://your.domain.com/ and set things up from there. > [lanny at dell2400 ~]$ whereis wordpress > wordpress: /etc/wordpress /usr/share/wordpress > TIA > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller at deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/
