INSTALLATION

You will need to create a table for your WordPress database.  This
assumes you have some knowledge of MySQL, and already have it
installed and configured.  If not, please refer to the Gentoo MySQL
guide at the following URL:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-howto.xml 

Log in to MySQL, and create a new database as well as a user with full
access to this database. After that you will need to provide the details
of this database and the associated user within the file

${MY_INSTALLDIR}/wp-config.php 

Finally you should be able to log in to WordPress at

http://${VHOST_HOSTNAME}/${VHOST_APPDIR}

!!!!!!!!!                 SECURITY WARNING                   !!!!!!!!!!!

Wordpress has had a history of serious security flaws. Any application
with less widespread use but the same amount of security issues would
have been removed from the tree.

We consider installing this package a severe risk to your system and 
you should keep a close eye on the common security trackers so
that you are able to fix problems with your installation yourself if
required.
