I am trying to install the full (SQL) version of Wordpress, not using the one click install.( I installed the one click version and ran into some problems with changing PERMALINK settings).
I place the downloaded V2.7 unzipped Wordpress files/folders in a folder called blog in the root directory. When I type in
URL http://hda.home.com/blog in my browser's address bar inside my home network, I get the Amahi Setup webpage.
Do I need to put the Wordpress files/folders in /var/hda/web-apps/blog to get this to work? And then by typing http://blog?
Are there changes to some conf files I need to make as well?
No offense to the great one click solution for Wordpress that is available. I would just like to understand how to do this for myself, maybe even for some apps that are not available with one click install now.
Installing full Wordpress, not one click version
Re: Installing full Wordpress, not one click version
hi, that is what webapps are for!
we created a small tutorial on webapps, which includes a screencast on how to create them.
once you know how to create webapps, it becomes much easier to understand how to package them for one-click installation!
and since you are interested, we made you a contributor. next time you login to your account at amahi.org you should see a link to your contributor area.
most contributors come by the IRC channel to ask for help and discuss strategies. some apps require a questionnaire that we like to bypass to make it truly one-click.
there is also a guide in the wiki on how to make one-click apps.
as for your questions, if you create a webapp called blog, then the files would be in /var/hda/web-apps/blog and the url would be http://blog. the conf file for apache is /etc/httpd/conf.d/10-*blog.conf

Re: Installing full Wordpress, not one click version
This is my solution of this problem (full WP):
1. Install Amahi WP application
2. Create new wp database hda-create-db-and-user wp or via phpMyAdmin
3. change owner/rights for folder /var/hda/web-apps/blog to be rw for me
4. replace (in reality rename to be able to go back) /var/hda/web-apps/blog/html folder with downloaded files of Wordpress 2.8.3
5. rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php
6. from browser run http://blog to start standard WP instalation.
And - It works!
Next step I want is to install FTP or SSH access to use WP automatic upgrades
Of course, AMAHI application unistall will not work for such bypass

Re: Installing full Wordpress, not one click version
This is more elegant and more correct solution how to install full Wordpess 2.8.3 - compliant with tutorial mentioned above:
1. Throught Amahi web applicattion page (http://hda/setup?sub=2&tab=apps) create new Amahi web application wp, do not change default root /var/hda/wev-apps/wp/html
2. Create new wp database, user and password via or using phpMyAdmin
3. Download Wordpress files and extract them to default root
4. rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and make it writable or edit it according database, user and password chosen in step 2
6. from browser run http://wp to start/finish standard WP instalation.
