Package: wordpress
Version: 1.5.2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


Hi folks,

I've just installed wordpress on Etch, and have been left with a system
with only wp-config.php and htaccess in /etc/wordpress/.

Following the instructions, I created 
/etc/wordpress/config-www.sharebear.me.uk.php and
put in the relevant database info. This was based on the sample config
file at /usr/share/wordpress/wp-config-sample.php.

After visiting /blog/ on the website, I get repeated 404 errors for
various files that it is trying to load from /etc/wordpress/ - all
listed below. I symlinked them in, in an effort to make it work, and I
was met with a reasonable degree of success.

wp-admin -> /usr/share/wordpress/wp-admin/
wp-includes -> /usr/share/wordpress/wp-includes/
wp-settings.php -> /usr/share/wordpress/wp-settings.php

After this munging, I went to the admin interface and was able to
succesfully log in and edit posts. However, upon trying to view the
blog, I am met with a blank page. 

I have read the 5 relevant lines in /usr/share/doc/wordpress/README.Debian, 
and followed them religiously. It is a multiple blog site, but the
configuration doesn't really seem to allow for a single blog
installation anyway. Have I missed a really crucial step, or is there
something rather wrong with the initial install configuration?

Many thanks,

Kyle
