This article will teach you step by step to install wrodpress blog. Let’s have a brief look at the system of wordpress blog and why you have to use this blog system to make money online.
My answer is wroldrpess blog is your best choice to make money online because it is easy and the most optimited blog system to rank well in the search engine result pages.
Getting Started with MySQL
Setup your MySQL database from within your control panel, or in some cases you will need to contact your host to set it up. SAVE the following information:
- Database Name
- User Name
- Password
- Host Name
Download and Configure WordPress
Download the WordPress directory from wordpress.org to your desktop where you can easily find it. The file will need to be unzipped in order to access the files.
Once you have downloaded and unzipped WordPress, we will need to make a few changes BEFORE uploading the files.
Inside the WordPress folder is a file named wp-config-sample. Change that file name to wp-config.
Open the same file that you just renamed. Within that file you will see the following:
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
We will be changing some of this information to include your data base information.
Insert Your MySQL Database Information
When you previously set up the MySQL database you would have been provided with the following information:
- The name of the database
- The MySQL database username
- The password of the database
- The database host (in some cases)
We need to change the default information in the wp-config to include your information. The following will cover those changes line by line. Do not remove the single quotes.
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress‘); // The name of the database
Change the highlighted area of the line above to the actual name of your database that you were given when you set up the database.
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘username’); // Your MySQL username
Change the highlighted area above to the username you were given when you set up the database.
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password‘); // …and password
Change the highlighted area of the line above to the password you were given when you set up the database.
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost‘); // chance you won’t need to change.
If you were given information for the database host, you will likely need to change the highlighted area of the line above to the data you were given when you set up the database. If you were not given this information it is very likely you can leave this set to localhost.
Once you have completed the above, SAVE the changes you have made.
Upload WordPress Files
Using your FTP program, upload all of the files from within the WordPress folder. You will upload these files to the directory you have previously selected for your blog. Only upload the files INSIDE the WordPress folder. DO NOT upload the folder itself.
I personally use WS_FTP Pro. However, it is not a free program. If you need an FTP program available at no cost, you may want to consider FileZilla.
Begin the WordPress Installation
To begin the WordPress installation, you will need to run the WordPress installation script by accessing the wp-admin/install.php file from your browser window.
Example: http://www.madeupsite.com/wp-admin/install.php
In the address bar of your browser window, enter the URL of the domain or subdomain where you uploaded the WordPress files to, followed by: wp-admin/install.php
A new window will open. Click First Step >>
When you click the First Step link, another new window will open.
- Enter the name you have selected for your blog.
- Enter your email address and double check it before continuing.
- Place a check in the box for I would like my blog to appear in search engines like Google and Technorati. (This is important!)
- Click “Continue to Second Step”.
Once you have followed the instructions on each new window, your blog will be created automatically for you. Make sure to save the user name and password provided.
That’s it for the basic WordPress installation. You are ready to log in!
