Quick Installation of Wordpress
Requirements:
- Managed server account
- mysql database
- FTP access
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.
