Blogging Secret

Although I’m graduated from Information Technology course, but I have spent few hours to understand and learn the Wordpress installation in order to create my own domain blog. In fact it is pretty simple and easy to setup Wordpress in your hosting, the following steps are showing you how.

How To Create Database And User Before Installing Wordpress?

Before upload Wordpress to your hosting, you need to create the database to store the data. I assumed your website’s URL is http://www.domain.com.

1. Login to your hosting control panel (http://www.domain.com/cpanel)
2. Click on MySQL Database
3. Create New Database (For example: wordpress)
4. Create New User and key in password (For example: blogger)
5. Finally, add the user to the database. Choose the database and user name from the combo box and click “Submit” button. That’s all.

How to Install Wordpress?

1. Download the latest version of Wordpress at wordpress.org.
2. Extract the zip file.
3. Open file called wp-config-sample.php
4. Change the database name (domain-user_wordpress), user name (domain-user_blogger) and password (1234).
5. Save and close this file, and then rename the files to wp-config.php
6. Finally, upload to your hosting directory under public_html
