Problems with installation
February 24, 2012, 12:21:17 pm
This is sad but I need a step by step for steps 5&6.  I just can't get it to install

5. create a symlink from: wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm TO the root of your civicrm directory

6. copy CIVICRM_ROOT/WordPress/civicrm.php to wp-content/plugins/civicrm

So I've gotten this far successfully:
1. Install WordPress and get it working

2. Ensure you have a working version of civicrm (for drupal), just ensure DAO's etc are generated

3. make a directory: wp-content/plugins/civicrm  and give the webserver read/write access to it

4. make a directory: wp-content/plugins/files and give the webserver read/write access to it

any help would be appreciated and I apologize because I know this is very simple.

Where did you get these steps from? On the wiki: WordPress Installation Guide for CiviCRM 4.1 I don't see any direction to "create a symlink."
