This is a quick dummy’s guide to install Wordpress on his/her server. I don’t want to give much introduction, so will finish off things in easy and understandable steps.
There are two different methods to install Wordpress on your server. One is Automated installation using Fantastico, and the other is by uploading files manually.
First let me begin with the easy method, by installing it using Fantastico,
If you have opted for a cPanel Hosting, then you can a find a scripts installer called “Fantastico”, in your cPanel.
Here goes the steps…
1. Login to your cPanel.
2. Open “Fantastico De Luxe”.
3. Under “Blogs”, click on Wordpress.
4. Click on “New Installation”.
5. Fill the details, and click on “Install Wordpress”.
Now your Wordpress is ready to swing the world.
And now the hassle way. You have to follow this, if you don’t opt for a cPanel hosting unfortunately.
Here are the steps.
1. Download the latest version of Wordpress by clicking on this link.
2. Extract the file.
3. Create a new SQL Database and note down the DB name, username and password.
4. Open up wp-config-sample.php with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details.Save the file as “wp-config.php”
5. Now open your FTP and login to the server.
6. Copy those extracted files and upload to the server to the folder of your desire or in the home (root) using the FTP.
7. Now affix /wp-admin/install.php to the URL where you installed. For example.. http://www.yoursitename.com/wp-admin/install.php or http://www.yoursitename.com/foldername/ ... nstall.php (http://www.yoursitename.com/foldername/wp-admin/install.php)
8. If everything is done properly, then you will continued with the Installation, if not recheck the wp-config.php file and give the correct details.
