Wordpress Installation
Wordpress is a great blogging tool that is extremely useful for updating, maintaining and managing your site. Before you start installing this script, make sure your host supports PHP.
First, download the files from here, and extract them.
Make a new directory called wp (or whatever you want) and upload all the files there.
Now you need a MySQL database. Your host may be able to supply you with one, but if they can't go to freesql.org and sign up for a free MySQL database. Now open up wp-config.php and edit what is in capitals:
define('DB_NAME', 'name'); - name of your database
define('DB_USER', 'username'); - username for database
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); - your password
define('DB_HOST', 'host'); - If your host/domain is hosting the database, put in localhost. If you are using a freesql.org database, use www.freesql.org.
Save the wp-config.php file and upload it, overwriting the old one. Now, install Wordpress by going to http://YOUR-SITE.COM/wp/wp-admin/install.php. Follow what it says (All you should have to click is Next Step) and you're done!
