How to Install Wordpress Into Your Site ?
Monday, December 7th, 2009Nowadays people look out for methods that make their life simple, and thats habitual because in this very busy world one would not like to waste time on simple things. Same thing with the website too.
There are lot of tools available in the market like website builders, readymade templates, flash scripts etc which will really make your job simple in building your website. Wordpress is nothing different from these, it is also an publishing tool which will make you feel comfortable in maintaining your website.
Wordpress is similar to blogger from google, but here we will have a option of installing wordpress in our own hosted domains rather than only under wordpress. It is a very usefull tool if your website is about articles, poems, fleeting tales etc where you will have to place lot of text into your website.
First you need to install wordpress into your site, and the things you need for that is the wordpress package which is available at www.wordpress.org and a FTP client like Filezilla which is available at www.filezilla-project.org, both are available free of cost. And importantly you should have a hosting site which will provide you with minimum of one Database. If you have all this then you can install wordpress into your site.
In your hosting site you need to make a FTP account and also a Database. For both you need to give username and password, and you will also have to make a user for your database. In the wordpress package which is about 2.3MB, you will have to find a file by name wp-sample-config.php, open that file in any of the text editing tools like notepad or wordpad, in that there are several lines of PHP scripts, in which you will need to edit the following four lines,
define(’DB_NAME’, ‘your-database-name’)
define(’DB_USER’, ‘username’)
define(’DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’)
define(’DB_HOST’, ‘database-server-name’)
In the above lines you will have to replace the your-database-name with the database name you produced in your hosting site, username with the user you produced for your database, password with the password you gave for your database and database-server-name with the name of the database server of your host. If you do not know the database server name, find it out from MySQL manager in your hosting site.
Once you have done this much rename the file as wp-config.php and save it. No its time to upload all the files inside the wordpress package into your host’s root directory, which will be usually /public-html/ . Use a FTP client like Filezilla for uploading all your files into your hosts directory. Please note that you will have to upload the files inside the wordpress package and not the total package itself.
After uploading all the files into your host you will need to install wordpress into your site’s host and that is done by following instructions, type,
your-site-name/wp-admin/install.php
in your browsers address bar, if you have uploaded your files into right directory and entered the database information properly then you should be able to see a wordpress page saying, ‘wordpress installed’ and asking for your other details like name, e-mail, website name etc.
Once you have done with the above , you will get a mail which will contain the password using which you can log into wordpress dashboard. The username is permanently ‘admin’. Now penetrate the username and password and start posting your contents.
Wordpress dashboard can be opened by using the following education,
your-site-name/wp-admin
By default wordpress will have two themes in it, you can install other themes into your wordpress by downloading the themes from other sites or from the wordpress website itself. The download package will be archived, you will need to extract it and upload the entire folder into wp-content/Themes folder into your hosts directory. If you want to install different plugins like visitor stats etc, then you will have to download the plugins and upload it into wp-content/Plugins folder of your host directory. Note that here also you will have to entire folder.

How to Install Wordpress
Saturday, October 24th, 2009You have chosen your domain name and your hosting company (and they may well be one and the same). The next part of your journey in “getting started with your blog” is to install Wordpress. It may be that you have chose to have your blog hosted on a “blogging platform”, like Blogger.com or Wordpress.com. If you are pleased to go down that road, fantastic. I have a blog on both these platforms and they serve their purpose well. But for the majority of users involved in web marketing, or trying to get an online presence for their business – whatever it is – you will be installing Wordpress on your own domain.
To be sure, much of the difficulty of installing Wordpress has been eliminated by the Fantastico installer – a utility that is available on most hosting financial statement. With Fantastico, all you need to do is answer a few prompts such as what directory to install Wordpress in, and boom! – you’re done. Even if I heartily recommend using it, and you may want to get on with your web marketing, I reckon a user should go through the manual install process at least once, to get familiar with how Wordpress operates behind the scenes. Let us look at the process of installing Wordpress manually:
1. Open www.wordpress.org in a browser. From there, click on the blue bar that says “download Wordpress x.xx” – it will show the newest version. Right now, it is 2.7.1. (You may have to click on a second link to get it). Save this to your desktop or somewhere else convenient, and extract all files from the zip archive into a folder called “wp”.
2. Using an FTP client, connect to your domain – the hosting company will have given you the right username and password when you signed up. Once connected, look for the “www” folder (also named “public_html”. Open this folder on the server (in the “remote” window in your FTP client) and in the “local” window, open the “wp” folder that you extracted the Wordpress files into. Copy everything from “wp” into “www” and close your FTP client.
3. Log in to your domain’s Cpanel by entering www.yourdomainname.com/cpanel. Penetrate your username and password and scroll down until you see “MySQL databases”. Click on this and it will prompt for the name of your database. Use a touch fleeting like “wp”, because it appends your username to it. Click “make database”, go back and scroll down to “Add new user”. Choose a username for your database – you can use your cpanel username and password if you wish, or a completely different one. After making the user account, click “go back” and scroll down to “Add user to database”. Select the username and the database as above – not that your cpanel username is now stuck on the front of it. Click “add” and “all privileges” on the next screen. Then close the window – you’re done with setting up the database.
4. In your FTP client, right-click on the “wp-config-sample.php” file in the “www” folder. You need to exchange 3 things here – the “MySQL database name”, the “MySQL database username” and the “MySQL database password”. Just replace what’s inside the single quotes with your own details, close the file and save it as “wp-config.php”.
5. In your browser, open the address www.yourdomainname.com/wp-admin/install.php. If you get an error message here, it usually indicates that one of thenames in wp-config.php is incorrect. If all is well, you will then be prompted for the blog name, and your email. Pick a name that contains all or part of your keyword, penetrate your email address and click on “Install Wordpress”. Take note of the admin username and password on the next screen, and log in with those details.
6. You are now in the “back office” of your blog or website. This is where you add content, set up new pages and exchange the appearance. To see what your site looks like, click “stay site” on the top left corner. You have done it – you have installed Wordpress!

How To Install Wordpress 2.5 In 5 Easy Steps
Friday, October 16th, 2009WordPress has never been easier to install than the latest version. In this article, I will describe how to install WordPress 2.5.
INSTALL WORDPRESS IN FIVE EASY STEPS
(1) Download WordPress
The first installation step is to Download WordPress from http://wordpress.org/download/. I created a directory on my PC called “wordpress” in which to collect the files and images I will use for my WordPress installation and customization. Once the download competed, I saved the .zip file.
(2) Unzip WordPress
After saving the file, I opened it with the zip/unzip program I use, and selected all of the files. Since I will be testing and modifying Wordpress locally to begin with, I “extracted” the files to the root directory of the Apache server I use for my PC test bed.
If I were going to install WordPress “for real” on a live web site, I would have used an FTP client to upload the .zip file to the desired directory at my hosting service and unziped the file there. Firefox has a terrific and *free* FTP client, FireFTP, that can be used for the upload.
(3) Create the Database
At this point, the WordPress database needs to be created. WordPress requires a database to store the site content and other information. I use MySQL for my database server both on my PC test bed and on my live sites. I use phpMyAdmin as an interface to MySQL.
Creating the database is really simple using phpMyAdmin. I simply start phpMyAdmin, enter the database name, and hit the “Create” button. WordPress will create the tables it needs in the database.
(4) Create wp-config.php
WordPress needs to know how to access the database once it has been created. That’s what the wp-config.php file is for. WordPress includes a file called “wp-config-sample.php.” This file needs to be modified with the database access information and renamed to “wp-config.php.”
Open the config file with any text editor. The critical entries are DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_HOST.
As an enhanced security measure, I obtained a unique SECRET_KEY and pasted this into the file. I then saved the edited file as wp-config.php. The text below shows the code I changed:
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define(’DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
define(’DB_USER’, ‘rtivel’); // Your MySQL username
define(’DB_PASSWORD’, ‘MyPassword’); // …and password
define(’DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
// Change SECRET_KEY to a unique phrase. You won’t have to remember it later,
// so make it long and complicated. You can visit http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.0/
// to get a secret key generated for you, or just make something up.
define(’SECRET_KEY’, ‘diq`~@|CH6)l@u>x;hA>1ew1maZ/)ToE!y%}}ZYAI!=V^L()eooB!0V+k8LJa!Eh’); // Exchange this to a unique phrase.
(5) Run the WordPress Installer
After completing the edit of the wp-config.php file, I started the installation script by entering this URL to my Apache server into my browser:
localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
For a live site, the URL might be a touch like this:
yourdomain.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
The first installation screen questions for the blog name and contact email address.
The next screen announces a successful installation and provides a username and password for the administrator. Be sure to save this password!
The installation is now complete. I can now log into Wordpress and start managing the blog, customizing the theme, or count content.
Or, I can click the link at the top of the log-in screen and go to the blog’s home page.
If you don’t manually make a wp-config.php file, WordPress will prompt for the information it needs and try to complete the installation.
That’s it! WordPress should now be installed.
Yours for a more successful blog,
Royce Tivel
