I found a lot of errors like:
sudo sh setup-mysql -n wordpress blog.quensis.eu
-bash: sudo: command not found

and finaly

404 Not found
Warning: require_once(/etc/wordpress/config-xxxx.xxx.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php on line 16

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/etc/wordpress/config-xxxx.xxx.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear’) in /etc/wordpress/wp-config.php on line 16

that’s unclear and prove the use of unnecessary lib

after long ggl searches a tries I decide to stop the install and see another solution.

php is a based on a misconception and must be avoid in professional applications

Thanks for the howto! I had to use the full path of setup-mysql on my Debian Etch system, e.g. I needed to replace
sh setup-mysql -n wordpress 172.20.2.18
with
sh /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n wordpress localhost

Also, you could comment that the choice /blog is optional (seems many newbies are coming these days).

I’m getting this error on the cli:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user ‘debian-sys-maint’@'localhost’ (using password: YES)

after running:
sudo bash setup-mysql -n wordpress blog.example.org

and then in the browser, I get this error:

Error establishing a database connection

This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?

If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

I have set up the db in mysql and the users ‘wordpress’ and ‘debian-sys-maint’ adn granted tehm all privileges??

any help appreciated.
