Quick Installation of Wordpress

Requirements:

• Managed server account
• MySQL Databases
• FTP access

Wordpress Blogger

Step 1: Download the Zip File

Point your browser to wordpress.org and go to the downloads section.
From there, you can download the latest zip file

Save it somewhere on your desktop and extract it with your favorite compression agent.

Now you will need to open wp-config-sample.php in notepad (or a common text editor in linux systems).

You will only be concerned with the following lines:

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');    // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'username');     // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

You will change each field to match your mysql database settings.

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'mydatabase_00');    // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'sqlusername_00');     // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypassword'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');    // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

Now save the file AS wp-config.php. This is important, as if it is not titled wp-config.php the setup will not kickstart.

Step 2: Log into FTP and upload

Next you will need to open your favorite ftp client and connect to your Cyber Wurx account.

• If you have trouble or do not know how to connect with ftp, see the guide to connect to your server using ftp.

Choose or create the directory you would like to upload to inside your domain's folder.

Step 3: Go to your Domain and follow the setup

Step 3 is just what it says. The next steps are very easy to follow on screen.
