Wordpress

i’m not clear on these instructions…since they refer to a mySQL database. what language does WP run on?

WordPress is the most widely used blogging platform today, with a hosted solution on wordpress.com for personal and simple blogs that do not require customization and custom plugins.

WordPress runs with PHP language and MySQL database. Requires a PHP supporting webhost.

For more professional blogs, commercial blogs a self hosted wordpress installation is required and recommended. Allowing full customization and plugin installation from the thousands of wonderful plugins available.

ive bee trying for ages!

i feel like ive done everything right, but i guess i havent. i went to the controlpanel of my webhost and created a mysql datatbase. then copied the info into wp-config. (maybe what i copied was wrong, but i dont think so) then i uploaded it to the root of my site. and i get an error saying like something went wrong with the script. please help

Can you use the auto-installer? Delete the wp-config.php you made and go to your wordpress install in your browser. If you installed it in the main directory, it should be something like this: yoursite.startlogic.com or something; whatever your domain is.

I have a blog on wordpress and I have to do this:
Log in to your hosting account and from the control panel locate Database administration.
But I can’tsee the database admistration option.Where is it?Under what option?

What host do you have?

there is none in wordpress, you have to go to the control panel of your webhost and do it that way, and if you are not sure where it is, I would recommend you not messing with it

MEWEBHOST shows how to install wordpress automatically via your cPanel using the “Fantastico”. For more Wordpress Tutorials visit http://blog.mewebhost.com/wordpress-tutorials/

MEWEBHOST.COM offers the best hosting solution for your WordPress blog. MEWEBHOST’s new HyGRID hosting platform gives you unlimited disk space, bandwidth and MySQL databases.

Video Transcript: In this video, learn how to install wordpress automatically via your cPanel with Fantastico Deluxe which is offered free by most cPanel hosting companies.

And this is the main Fantastico Deluxe screen, and if you scroll down, you’ll be able to see that besides the WordPress application that we want to install, you will also find a lot of other useful open-source free PHP scripts that you can install to your server; for example, OS Commerce; ZenCart; and even several Wiki scripts; and also some forum scripts. So you’re going to install WordPress just click on WordPress .

Next, click on New Installation. Okay, so this is the main setup or configuration screen for your new WordPress blog. And there’s just a few fields here that you need to fill up, but the most important is this field here that asks you which directory you want to install WordPress on. So for most cases, if your website is dedicated to just that WordPress blog, then you’d want to install the WordPress software in the root directory, whereby you leave this column entirely empty, but if you want to install WordPress to a particular folder on your website, for example, if you wanna install it to a folder called “Blog,” then you can just enter the directory named “Blog” right here. I’m going to install this to the root folder of my website, so I’m gonna leave that blank, and the next thing you need to fill up is the Admin access data and also the password.

And you may want to enter your site name, and a description of your site. Okay? So when that’s done, just click on “Install WordPress.” Okay, so it says here that the MySQL Database has been created, and this is the name of the MySQL Database, and then just some confirmation notes here that I’ve chosen to install WordPress on the root directory of my website, and this is the access URL, of course, in this example I’m just using, “youractualurl.com.” But this would be your actual website URL. And then, you’re gonna click on “Finish Installation” to finalize the setup and upload all the files to your web server.

Okay, and success! Your new WordPress blog has been installed for you, and you’ll see the information that you entered earlier, so in my case, I’m gonna log in with the username Admin and my password, and the full URL that you can log in to isshould be listed right here. Now if you want to have a copy of the installation details, then you can just enter your email address in this section here and click on “Send Email,” and all this information that you see here would be emailed to you. But for now, I’m just going to log in to the WordPress dashboard itself. I’m going to click on the dashboard log-in URL.

So you would probably see a log-in screen like this, and just enter the information that you have entered earlier in this setup process, and click on “Log In.” And I have successfully logged in to my new WordPress blog. And you can see that the site name that I’ve entered is right here, and if you want to preview your WordPress blog, then you can just click on the link here that says, “Visit Site.” And here, you can see the default WordPress installation this is how your WordPress would look like every time you install a new WordPress blog. So that’s how you install WordPress using cPanel.

Could someone please install wordpress on my Webhost? If you do I am good with Sony Vegas and Photoshop so I could design you somestuff. If you are interested just email me at jb.itechsupport@gmail.com

1. Download and unzip the WordPress package, if you haven’t already.
2. Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.
3. Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.
4. Open wp-config.php in your favorite text editor and fill in your database details as explained in Editing wp-config.php to generate and use your secret key password.
5. Place the WordPress files in the desired location on your web server:
* If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.
* If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/blog/), rename the directory wordpress to the name you’d like the subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server. For example if you want the WordPress installation in a subdirectory called "blog", you should rename the directory called "wordpress" to "blog" and upload it to the root directory of your web server.

Hint: If your FTP transfer is too slow read how to avoid FTPing at : Step 1: Download and Extract.
6. Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in your favorite web browser.
* If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php
* If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php

That’s it! WordPress should now be installed.

I am not using icewarp, try to use Easy php from http://easyphp.org/index.php , it acts like a real webhost so you can run your wordpress locally and test your wordpress themes and plugin in your windows.

I extracted all the files using 7zip, and now I’m not sure what to do. Help?

Hi there,

If your webhost has fantastico you want to install it from there as it is easy – point and click.

If it doesn’t you need to do it the hard way and install it as per the instructions

All the best

I have wordpress for 1and1, now how do i get the theme to appear when i go to my website? 5 points for best answer. THANKS =)

You should clarify what do you exactly want to do?..
neway i assume you want to change your theme…

For that login to your webhost via web or ftp.
then go to open file manage, Public_html > wordpress>wp-content/themes/ and upload the theme you want. you can download some free themes from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/

Then login to wordpress via yourblogname.com/wp-admin
while you are logged in go to appearance, and select the theme you just uploaded.

Some of the sources for free themes….
