 * I’m just learning how to use word press so I could use some help. I’ve put it
   on our server at work, apple’s snow leopard 10.6. It works fine viewing the site
   on the local machine but connecting from a different machine, it doesn’t load
   any pictures, all I get is a text page for the home page and none of the links
   create a page. Any ideas?
    Thanks for the help!

 * I just bought a snow leopard server and was going to see if I could get wordpress
   installed. I’ll let you know how it goes.

 * Remember not to set a site url that includes ‘localhost’…

 * Hey esmi,
 * I have uploaded the wordpress folders with all the php files etc onto the server.
   When I navigate to my domain wordpress loads and asks for a config file. It requires
   the following info:
 * Database name, database username, password, database host, and Table prefix.
 * I have played around with the MySql database settings but can’t seem to figure
   out how to set the database name, username, and password within the Snow leopard
   server admin window.
 * Also, I can’t figure out the database host … do I just leave that as “localhost”
   or change it to the name of my server?
 * Much thanks in advance!
 * Cheers,

 * You’ll have to create a database user first, then a database, then assign the
   user to that database. By the time you’re done with that, you’ll know what you
   need for the `wp-config.php` file. I don’t exactly know how to do that OS X server,
   but the folks in their support forum should be able to help: [http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=264](http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=264)

 * It’s more than likely just `localhost`.
