Transcription of How To Install WordPress From the Install Files
This video I’m going to show you how you
can install WordPress from the wordpress
install files so first go to
wordpress.org and then go to the most
recent versions usually down there and
over here you want to download the zip
file to save it to your desktop or
somewhere where it’s handy you can
install file called WP so i can easily
find it which is on my desktop
ok so here it is so it’s going to
exhibit this install a program called
7-zip and I can just extract the files
if you don’t have 7-zip you can just use
the one built into windows cause you
have to do is extract all I use seven
zip code is faster
ok so at that point you have all your
files extracted and their the wordpress
files are 2 directors deep WordPress
version number and then insert inside
the area of wordpress and then you have
your files on there
ok so at this point we can upload all
this to our server
of course you already have your domain
name and your hosting so we’re going to
upload this where we want to go through
this i’m using a program called
filezilla it’s an ftp program allows you
to move files up and down from your
server so this is my server side over on
the right and my computer on the left so
I’m going to do I’m going to go in here
how kind of score HTML this is where the
files have to reside to be viewable on
the internet for this particular server
some hosts it’s different so find out
where that needs to be from your hosting
provider and create a directory to put
it in and caught WP test now I could
upload it right into this directory and
if I did that then I just have to keep
my domain name and go right to the
wordpress install by want a subdirectory
so that’s what I did
so let’s go down to WP test
ok so now we navigate on this side to
wordpress files are only are so just
select all those just to control a
select them all right click on upload ok
so that upload them to our server for us
we wait for that to finish all this is
going on we can create a database we
need a database to control wordpress
because everything stored in a database
so let’s go back here and let’s go into
our control panel
i’m showing you on control panel hosting
if you don’t use control panel hosting
then you will have some sort of of a
panel that you can create a database on
here
ok so now i’m going to go down to
databases mysql databases databases and
i’m going to go to mysql databases and
then i’m going to create a new database
for my wordpress install so let’s just
call this WP test go back
you need a user ID to get into your
database
ok so we’re going to create a new user
i’m going to call it the same thing WP
test this truce sake of ease then you
need a password in here he’s going to
use password you should use something
secure ok you can also use the password
generator here it’ll generate a very
secure password for it just make sure
you remember what it is
ok will create the user let’s go back
now we need to do is attach the user and
the database together so we go down to
where you said add user database and we
find one called WP test you know it’s
just characters in front of it that is
what differentiates on a server as our
particular
database had all privileges make changes
at this point our databases where you
let’s go see how our upload is going
almost done here
okay so everything is uploaded now now
to start the install we have to do is
type in the path to where our wordpress
blog is going to be so your domain name
/ the folder that it’s in if it’s Jenna
folder otherwise it’s just your domain
name so i typed in my domain name / WP
test and this came up telling esters no
config PHP file need to create one
so let it do that now you may get an
error
ok so let’s click let’s go now this is
where we put our database name in so
back to the control panel go back to
databases again and let’s go to PHP my
admin this time and this shows us all of
our databases that we have available
ok so go down the left side here to find
the one we had WP test here okay and
then our path to our database is right
here so it’s the best I on earth core WP
test so you need to make sure you get
that whole thing in there
ok then the username setup ok so in this
case it was the same you need to have
the prefix on there as well as a
recharge which happened to be password
localhost this is usually going to be
right to check it you go back to your
PHP my admin and you’ll see here server
localhost so that needs to be the same
and it is ok table prefix you can leave
that alone unless you’re installing
multiple instances of WordPress into one
database if you are you should change
this for each subsequent install click
Submit ok now here’s the error i was
referring to earlier is trying to create
a depth
a configuration file and it can’t do it
because our directories and writable so
to do that
let’s go make the directory writable
let’s go back here and we need to make
WP test writable so let’s go up one
level which is public HTML to WP test
right click on this file attributes make
this 777 just for a second i will go
back with just hit the back button here
and then click Submit again now click
run the install and it will be at it
create the config file for us
ok so tight site title here it meant
username a password here and email
address
hello my site to appear in search
engines
ok you’re going to want that unless you
want this to be a private blog install
WordPress that’s it
click login get men password and we’re
into the back and so at that point
wordpress is all installed now at this
point you need to go back to filezilla
need to change the permissions back to
where they were they were 755 before put
them back that way and make sure
site secure now if you are installing in
the public HTML directory
it’s the same thing this is your root
directory so you just key in your domain
name and you’re on your WordPress blog
what you would do is go back to the /
directory which is right on the outside
go find public HTML right-click and file
attributes notice it’s 750 this time
change the 777 proceed like I just
showed you and then come back in here
and send it back to 750 so that is how
you can install a wordpress blog from
the install files
