WordPress Famous 5-Minute Install

 

1.    Download and unzip the WordPress package.

2.    Create a database for WordPress on your web server via cPanel. Create a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying the database.

3.    Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.

4.    Open wp-config.php in your favorite text editor like notepad or textpad. Fill in the your database name, database username and database password.

5.    Upload the WordPress files on to your web server:

·         If you want WordPress as the root program of your web site (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the WordPress directory the root directory of your web server.

·         If you want WordPress in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/blog/), rename the folder wordpress to the name you’d like the subdirectory to have.  Upload the subdirectory to your web server.

Run the WordPress installation script via your browser. The file is located at: http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php. if you have WordPress in the root directory or http://www.yourdomain.com/subdirectory/wp-admin/install.php if WordPress is located in a subdirectory.

 That’s it! WordPress should now be installed on your server.
