How to Install Wordpress on my website


  1. Download the WordPress package, if you haven't already.  (http://wordpress.org/download/).
  2. Using an FTP client, upload the zipped wordpress package to the root of your site.  (ftp://ftpaddress).   
  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.  ( You can find this by logging into the Siteutil (http://www.siteutil.com) and selecting 'mysql databases'.
  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://www.nameofthewebsite.com/), upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server. (ftp://ftpaddress).
  • If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://www.nameofwebsite/blog/), rename the directory wordpress to the name you'd like the subdirectory to have and 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.

 

  1. Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in your favorite web browser.

That's it! WordPress should now be installed.
