In progress

  • FTP mistake

Week Five

WordPress installation process ...

  • Download the WordPress files.
  • Move the "wordpress" folder to your local root folder (in MAMP and XAMMP, "htdocs" is the local root folder).
    • Or, if you already have a subfolder named "wordpress", copy all the files there -- same thing.
  • Start MAMP and open a browser, or if MAMP is already running simply open a browser, and browse to:

http://localhost/wordpress

You should see the Languages page, the first of the installation pages.

You'll need to create a database using phpMyAdmin (see screenshots). You can do that at any time in the process. WordPress will require it, several pages into the installation process.

You'll also need --

Database username: root Database password: root

After installation is complete, that same URL is where you browser your site:

http://localhost/wordpress

To administer your site, append "wp-admin" to the URL:

http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin
