Wordpress Setup

Steps to proceed

Download wordpress v3.0.1 from http://wordpress.org

Remember the location of a downloaded file. Extract the file in to xampp root directory (i.e.

/opt/lampp/htdocs in linux or C:\xampp\htdocs) Once the file is extracted it will be directory

name “wordpress”. Change the directory name to your convinence

(i.e. “testing” or “development”)

Once its done , open the directory and you will find a file called “wp-config-sample.php”.

Rename that file into “wp-config.php”. Now open your browser and type

http://localhost/phpmyadmin In that create a database for your wordpress site.

(Note : We are creating a database because wordpress is a Content Management System)

Create a database name “test_db”. No need create any tables because wordpress will

automatically create a required tables.

Continue...

Now open up the “wp-config.php” file in your text editor.

And in that file it will ask you for some of the parameters.

Change the values as per the requirements and save the file and close it.

In wp-config.php file

define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');

/** MySQL database username */define('DB_USER', 'username_here');

/** MySQL database password */define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');

Change values in wp-config.php file

define('DB_NAME', 'test_db');

/** MySQL database username */define('DB_USER', 'root');

/** MySQL database password */define('DB_PASSWORD', '');

Continue...

Change the database name in wp-config.php file.
