Installing Wordpress on OpenBSD 4.3

Installing Wordpress on OpenBSD is a fairly straightforward process, especially since it does not need any extra binaries or libraries to exist inside the /var/www chroot environment. Initially I used the tar.gz file available from wordpress.org (version 2.6, as of this writing), but when I went through the install on a test machine in order to detail the installation process, I realized that there is also a package available in the package tree (version 2.3.3 for OpenBSD 4.3-release, 2.5 for -current). For the purposes of these instructions I installed the package available in the OpenBSD packages tree, but I will also detail how to install the latest version from wordpress.org.
