SUMMARY OF STEPS

• Download Wordpress
• Creation of the BBDD for Wordpress
• Edition of the file wp-config.php
• Upload archives of Wordpress to the server
• To install Wordpress
  

FIRST STEP: TO DOWNLOAD THE PROGRAM

Download the last stable version of WordPress. We unzipped of the habitual way, with Winzip, in any folder of our computer.

SECOND STEP: TO CREATE THE DATABASE FOR WORDPRESS

This step will be most complex, if you have never created a Database on your hosting.

Go to the Control Panel of your hosting (you will need the name user and the keys of your hosting, facilitated by your company of hosting at the moment for contracting it).

Look for something as “Database MySql”. If your hosting doesn´t support php and MySql you have a problem…

Create a new database with the name that you choose:

It will generally appear a warning announcing that the BBDD has been created correctly.

Now you have to assign a user to the database created and to authorize all the permissions:

Important note:

If you dont have any created user, you will have to create one from this same Control Panel. It´s as simple as to choose a name of user and a password. You must points well these data, will be to you of utility later.

THIRD STEP: TO EDIT WP-CONFIG.PHP

We looked for in that folder the file wp-config-sample.php.

First, change the name and rename it wp-config.php.

Soon you open it, if possible with Dreamweaver, or Word Pad. You will see this:

define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress');
define('DB_USER', 'username');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');

Ok. It´s almost everything to change. You have to replace the text in black by the name of the BBDD that you finish creating, the name of user, and password of that user. Localhost, it´s ok as it´s. You dont touch " ".

FOURTH STEP: TO UPLOAD THE WORDPRESS ARCHIVES FOR THE SERVER

.Upload all the archives for yout server. You can use a client FTP for this, and places the archives in the root of the site, or in some folder that you have created for the Wordpress.

It will cost to you awhile, the one that warns does not lie

FIFTH STEP: TO INSTALL WORDPRESS

When we already have uploaded all the archives (be sure that have uploaded all… is not easy), it opens with your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc…) the folder where you have uploaded everything followed of /wp-admin/install.php.

Explanation: if you have uploaded it http://www.myweb.com, you must enter http://www.myweb.com/wp-admin/install.php. This generates the corresponding tables of Wordpress in the server

After this, a temporary password give us, which we must writte one or two twices. You don´t lose it…. Once given the password, we can see the main page, where we will introduce as usuary admin and password gives us in the previous page

Done. It´s not necessary to configure nothing else to begin with Worpress. It´s easy, isn´t it?
