Famous 5-Minute Install


Here's the quick version of the instructions, for those that are already comfortable with performing such installations. More detailed instructions follow.


If you are not comfortable with renaming files, Steps 3 and 4 are optional and you can skip them as the install program will create wp-config.php file.


    Download and unzip the WordPress package if you haven't already.

    Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.

    Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.

    Open wp-config.php in a text editor and fill in your database details as explained in Editing wp-config.php to generate and use your secret key password.

    Upload 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/), create the blog directory on your server and upload WordPress to the directory via FTP.

    Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in a 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.
