    Hello,

    I have a newly installed Debian 5 box, with various websites etc… configured and working.

    I have also installed the wordpress package apt-get install wordpress

    Now when I unpack wordpress and amend the config file then run the install.php all seems fine.

    However when I create a page and subsequently publish it, I click View Page and get a “Page cannot be found” error in my browser!

    Any ideas welcome.

    Thanks

    hi,

    i followed the instructions here to install…
    http://linux.justinhartman.com/Wordpress_Installation_on_Debian

    there were a few warnings i ignored from the command “a2ensite example.com”.

    then when i ran “/usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n example example.com” i got permission denied.

    the solution was to chmod 700 /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql then everything worked fine following the instructions on the link i gave.

    i have upgraded to wordpress 3.0 beta 1 from the apt-get 2.0.12 wordpress install as follows…

    download and unpack wordpress 3.0 in /usr/share

    delete the <wordpress3.0>.zip file
    delete old database,
    delete /etc/wordpress/config-<yoursite>.com.php
    run /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n example example.com to setup the new database and config file.

    proceed as with 5min install.

    notes: i keep getting the notice “Notice: You’re using the auto-generated password for your account. Would you like to change it to something you’ll remember easier?
    Yes, take me to my profile page | No thanks, do not remind me again” eventhough i tried each option to get rid of it.
