I wrote a script : http://trac.natalian.org/file/debian/wordpress/trunk/debian/setup-mysql To help create a user and database for the user, in order to use Wordpress. Wordpress creates the tables etc. on startup. Though some users are having difficulty with it. #312721 I guess the next step would to improve the script with a menu that showed what the user has created and perhaps backup/purge the database. Comments?
