Installing WordPress Using FTP
InformationDifficulty: Easy
|
This tutorial is going to teach you how to install WordPress on your website. However there are several different, ways to install it. This tutorial will teach you how do it if you do not have access to cPanel.
Step One
The first thing you are going to do is visit this website and download the file. Once you have it downloaded you need to unzip and upload to your websites main directory by using your FTP program.
Step Two
Next you are going to have to make a MySQL user, if you don’t know how to do that you can follow this tutorial. After the MySQL is made you will receive a hosting name, user name, password and so. Keep this information for the next step
Step Three
Open wp-config-sample.php in your editing program, I use Notepad for this which comes standard on most Windows computers. Fill in your MySQL information. The document will look something like this.

Step Four
Save your file, and rename it to wp-config.php ( your are removing the”-sample” from the filename) and then upload the wp-config.php to your site with using your FTP client. Then go to the install page:www.yoursite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php. If the installation page doesn’t appear you’ve probably entered the wrong MySQL information. Just go back one step and have a look at the wp-config file again. Once it has been installed you are all set to start using WordPress
