So I signed up for the $9 a year hosting with dreamhost deal and I'm trying to install wordpress using their "one click" interface. I created the new MySQL database and followed the instructions and it said "success" and that I would receive an e-mail in 10 minutes with instructions on how to activate the webpage. Well, that was last night--still no e-mail.

I deleted the database and tried again today, curious as to whether they could only activate wordpress during business hours, but it's been a few hours and still no e-mail.

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem, or if there is an easy way I can manually install wordpress? I haven't messed with MySQL crap for about a year and the interface at dreamhost is not very intuitive or easy to navigate.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
