Open FTP and add your site. Use the domain name as the address IP of the server.
Leave "local path" blank. Remote path should be /httpdocs. Add your username and password. Then upload the WP folder you downloaded to FTP.
Returning to where you extracted the
WordPress package, rename the file wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php. Open the renamed wp-config.php file in your favorite text editor and fill in the following information, per the example above:
The code you will be looking to change is as follows:
// ** MySQL settings ** // define('DB_NAME', 'putyourdbnamehere'); // The name of the database define('DB_USER', 'usernamehere'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere'); // ...and password define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
DB_NAME
DB_USER
DB_PASSWORD
DB_HOST
The hostname you determined (usually localhost, but not always. See some possible DB_HOST values).
DB_CHARSET
The database character set, normally should not be changed.
DB_COLLATE
Inside wp-config.php file, replace 'putyourdbnamehere', 'usernamehere', 'yourpasswordhere' with your new database information and password. Save the file, and be ready for upload.
Upload the files
Open Filezilla, and use hostname, FTP username, and password provided by NamesAreCheap.com
Now you will need to decide where on your web site you'd like your blog to appear:
- In the root directory of your web site. (For example, http://example.com/)
- In a subdirectory of your web site. (For example, http://example.com/blog/)
Note: The location of your root web directory is /httpdocs In the Root Directory
- Upload your wordpress folder files to your web server, using your favorite FTP client or
Filezilla
to upload all the contents of the wordpress directory (but not the directory itself) into /httpdocs folder.
In a Subdirectory
- Upload your files to your web server, rename the wordpress directory to your desired name, using your favorite FTP client or
Filezilla to upload the directory to /httpdocs folder
Run the Install Script Point your favorite web browser to start the installation script.
- If you placed the WordPress files in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php
- If you placed the WordPress files in a subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php
You enter your Weblog title and your e-mail address. Also displayed is a check-box asking if you would like your blog to appear in search engines like Google and Technorati. Leave the box
checked if you would like your blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines, and uncheck the box if you want to block search engines, but allow normal visitors. Note all this information can be
changed later in your Administration Panels. That's it! WordPress should now be installed, and you are now ready to blog... :) More Video Tutorials using Wordpress
