Assumed apache+php+mysql is ready on opensuse, otherwise check out here.

WordPress is just pure php+mysql application, it’s easy to install on opensuse.

1) download wordpress 3.0

download from here.

# mv //wordpress-3.0.zip /srv/www/htdocs
# cd /srv/www/htdocs
# unzip wordpress-3.0.zip
# cd wordpress-3.0
# cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php

fill up the database connection info in wp-config.php:

/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define('DB_NAME', 'opensuse_test');

/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'root');

/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'shroot');

2) create database manually

I created db opensuse_test in phpMyAdmin.

3) install wordpress

type in http://localhost/wordpress-3.0 in web browser, will ask site name, admin name/password, etc.

That’s it, the test site http://localhost/wordpress-3.0 is up.
