I’ve installed it on Blog-Op, and it’s definitely getting some of my older stuff read. I wrote it up on Blog-Op recently including expanding the installation instructions, as they were a bit vague….
It asked me to configure MySQL database in a certain way which I couldn’t seem to complete properly.
