I'm feeling lost even looking at these instructions. First, I went to the MySQL link and there are about 100 choices. I'm working with Leopard 10.5.1 on a black MacBook. Any chance someone could chime in as to which of the download options I should choose. That will at least get me started. I'll probably be asking a bunch more questions. Thanks!

Linda,

I’ve been going through the OSX wordpress installation (preconfiguration) for 10.5.5 with php 5.2.6 and MySQL 5.0.67 and
have a couple of revisions for the installation process. Don’t know if these are of any use, but here goes…

A few updates for the installation process.
——————————————————–

Database installation instructions seem to work as is with the DMG file for 5.0.67
I did install the preference pane though and start the application that way. Dropped the pref-pane file mysql.prefpane
into {user}/Library/PreferencePanes

Configuring php5 (specifically 5.2.6 on OSX 10.5.5)
————————
1. /etc/httpd is now empty — content has been moved to /etc/apache2.
2. edit /etc/apache2/httpd.conf, uncomment the line with php5
— (the other lines are now living in another file called php5.conf in another directory and don’t need to be uncommented)
3. killall -9 httpd (i had to use the killall -9 to get it to die also)
4. httpd -k start (i had to use the -k to get it to work)

Set up Word Press
————————–
The default database name is not already called wordpress it’s called ‘putyourdbnamehere’. So we just have to change to
wordpress.

Also I *did* have to change from localhost to ’127.0.0.1′ in the hostname.

Cheers,
