Hi, I don't think the person who filed this bug explained well enough why it should be fixed. Upon a fresh install of the Debian Etch WordPress package, the software will be (in the eyes of most users) broken. That is, key features of the software, such as the ability to upload images to one's blog, will not work. That is unacceptable. Installing WordPress would be easier on Debian than on any other distribution if this bug were fixed.
After a fresh install, it is necessary for a user to do this: # sudo chown :www-data /etc/wordpress/* # sudo mkdir /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/uploads # sudo chown www-data:www-data /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content/uploads Commands that accomplish the same things should be part of the post-installation process. It is also necessary for a user to do this: # sudo sh /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n exampleuser exampledomain.com but not every user will know to read the first part of setup-mysql to figure this out. This step cannot be completely automated since everyone's domain name will differ, but it suggests that post-install a dialog should ask the user: Would you like to set up a WordPress blog on a particular domain? [Y/n] If Y, then: Enter a MySQL username (16 chars or less): Enter the fully-qualified domain name for the blog: [use inputs to run the above command] Would you like to set up a WordPress blog on another domain name? [y/N] If Y, then: repeat as above. If N, then end. Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
