Installing WordPress in Your Computer
In: Word Press
7 Aug 2008WordPress is a popular CMS system which is very popular now. I found there is lots of people still trying to use wordprss however they don’t know how to work on a local computer. Here I am trying to show you how to setup WordPress in your local computer so that you will save your time from updating and previewing files (so, you don’t have to frequently upload files on every change). You can also use the local version to test new plugins, themes, and upgrades. This tutorial is intended for beginners who want to learn how to run WordPress locally.
Before you start, let’s look at the requirements to run WordPress:
PHP 4.3+
MySQL 4+ Database Server
1. Install a Local Server
In order to run any PHP/database application on a local computer, you need a local host (ie. Apache + MySQL). For PC, use XAMPP or WAMP.
2. Create a New Database
After you’ve installed MAMP, run it and it should take you to the start page. Now click on phpMyAdmin. In the phpMyAdmin page, create a new database (eg. wordpress ).
3. Download WordPress
Go to wordpress.org and download the latest build of WordPress. Go to the htdocs folder (where you installed the XAMPP/ WAMP), extract the wordpress.zip to a new folder (eg. mypage ).
4. Update wp-config-sample.php File
In the folder, rename the wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php . Open wp-config.php and update the database details (db_name, user, password, host) according to your local server.
5. Run install.php
With your browser, go to http://localhost/mysite/wp-admin/install.php and follow the instructions to install WordPress.
Type Tilte For your Web Page and Enter Your Email Address.
6. Log In And Start To Post Your Articles.
Don’t Forget your password. It’s very good password generated by WordPress. Start Your Posting.
Setup Steps The Easy One:
If you know about php server then please skip this step:
Install a local server ( PC: XAMPP or WAMP).
Create a new database in Mysql. (Type http://localhost/phpmyadmin in your local computer )
Download WordPress from wordpress.org and extract the files to a new folder under the htdocs folder.
Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php and update the database details according to your local server.
Run localhost/yourfolder name then wordpress start to setup and follow the instructions to install WordPress.
Done!
