How to upload wordpress in to my server and how to run the install.php file?

Monday, January 18th, 2010

My server is free hosting server and I have uploaded wordpress in to my server via ftp. But now I cannot run the install.php file. I deleted the index.html file which was already on the server and I run the install.php file but it appears 403 forbidden. So I think I couldnt upload wordpress in to the root directory, please help me to resolve this.

Unless the server allows you access to PHP and a MySQL database, you can’t run wordpress. Period.

And you need to set up that database before you can run the install.

I’m trying to install Wordpress templates…I have a third party server…do I need to use their ftp site ?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I have a free template downloaded, ready to install to my site, which is hosted by a third party server. I have FileZilla on my laptop. Do I need to transfer the template files from my FileZilla or go through the third party’s FTP site to upload the templates ?

The best way to upload and or modify web files (templates in your case) is to use a web page editor. I prefer dreamweaver as do many other people.

Dreamweaver and other html editors has a built in ftp manager that lets you upload, download files as you work on them. If you want to start with the basics, try FrontPage.

You may also use third party FTP clients as well such as:
WS_FTP
Cute_FTP
or web based FTP clients such as what our company has on the website demo
( http://www.fiberftp.com/ftp_client/fiberftp/index.html )
that will allow you to transfer the files to and from your web server.
