Install WordPress on Ubuntu with LAMP

To install WordPress blog system on Ubuntu 6.10 server with LAMP is super easy.
Let’s do the following steps to install it.
1) Download WordPress and unzip it.
2) Create a database on my MySQL server. I use Webmin to create it.
3) Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
4) Open wp-config.php and fill the MySQL information into it.

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
define('DB_USER', 'wordpress');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'wordpresspassword');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

5) Upload all filles to WWW folder.
Mine is /var/www/
6) Enter http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php to start installation script.
7) The final WordPress blog is here
I spend about 5 minutes to complete installation.
