How to install WordPress

First of all, you will need to get Wordpress. Go to www.wordpress.org and download the zip or tar file, whichever one you so desire. Unzip the folder and find the location, mine is in my D:\downloads folder.

Upload the files in the WordPress folder into your webspace. Now, go into cPanel and create a MySQL database. You will need this database in order for WordPress to work. You need a Username, Database, and a password.

Next, open wp-config-sample.php and fill in the details of your database. Only change the DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_PASSWORD, DB_HOST should remain as localhost. For example, if your database name were 'super', your line would look a little like this:

define('DB_NAME', 'super'); // The name of the database

Now, save the file as wp-config.php (Note, yes, you are changing the file name. This is important.) Re-upload this file. I would suggest taking wp-config-sample off your webspace.

Next, run the installation file located in your wp-admin folder, for example:

http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php

That's pretty much it, now you have WordPress installed.
