Detailed Instructions
Step 1: Download and Extract
Download and unzip the WordPress package from https://wordpress.org/download/.
If you will be uploading WordPress to a remote web server, download the WordPress package to your computer with a web
browser and unzip the package.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Installation 2/26
27/09/2018 Installing WordPress « WordPress Codex
If you will be using FTP, skip Step 2 and go to the next step - uploading files is covered later.
If you have shell access to your web server, and are comfortable using console-based tools, you may wish to download WordPress
directly to your web server using wget (or lynx or another console-based web browser) if you want to avoid FTPing:
wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
Then unzip the package using:
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz
The WordPress package will extract into a folder called wordpress in the same directory that you downloaded latest.tar.gz.
If you determine that you'll need to create one manually, follow the instructions for accessing phpMyAdmin on various servers, or
follow the instructions for Using Plesk, Using cPanel or Using phpMyAdmin below.
If you are installing WordPress on your own web server, follow the Using phpMyAdmin or Using the MySQL Client instructions
below to create your WordPress username and database.
If you have only one database and it is already in use, you can install WordPress in it - just make sure to have a distinctive prefix for
your tables to avoid over-writing any existing database tables.
Using Plesk
Note: Plesk recommends all users to install and manage WordPress using the WordPress Toolkit. However, if you wish to install
WordPress manually, follow these steps to create a database:
1. Log in to Plesk.
2. In the upper right corner of the screen, click Databases.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Installation 3/26
27/09/2018 Installing WordPress « WordPress Codex
5. Type in the database user name and password, and then click Ok.
Once the database has been created, click Connection info to see the information you will need to connect to the database
(database server hostname and port, database name, and the database user name).

Using cPanel
If your hosting provider supplies the cPanel hosting control panel, you may follow these simple instructions to create your WordPress
username and database. A more complete set of instructions for using cPanel to create the database and user can be found in Using
cPanel.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Installation 5/26
27/09/2018 Installing WordPress « WordPress Codex
4. Go to MySQL Manager.
5. Add the user name and database name but leave the host name as the default IP number.
6. Note the IP address of the database on the right which is different from the default IP number of the host indicated in the above
step.
7. When modifying the wp-config.php file, use the DB IP number, not 'LOCALHOST'.
8. When modifying the wp-config.php file, be sure to use the full name of the database and user name, typically
'accountname_nameyoucreated'.
9. Refer to http://wiki.lunarpages.com/Create_and_Delete_MySQL_Users_in_LPCP for more info.
Using phpMyAdmin
If your web server has phpMyAdmin installed, you may follow these instructions to create your WordPress username and database. If
you work on your own computer, on most Linux distributions you can install PhpMyAdmin automatically.
Note: These instructions are written for phpMyAdmin 4.4; the phpMyAdmin user interface can vary slightly between versions.
1. If a database relating to WordPress does not already exist in the Database dropdown on the left, create one:
1. Choose a name for your WordPress database: 'wordpress' or 'blog' are good, but most hosting services (especially shared
hosting) will require a name beginning with your username and an underscore, so, even if you work on your own computer, we
advise that you check your hosting service requirements so that you can follow them on your own server and be able to
transfer your database without modification. Enter the chosen database name in the Create database field and choose the
best collation for your language and encoding. In most cases it's better to choose in the "utf8_" series and, if you don't find
your language, to choose "utf8mb4_general_ci" (Reference: [1]).
1. Click the phpMyAdmin icon in the upper left to return to the main page, then click the Users tab. If a user relating to WordPress
does not already exist in the list of users, create one:

You can create MySQL/MariaDB users and databases quickly and easily by running mysql from the shell. The syntax is shown below
and the dollar sign is the command prompt:
$ mysql -u adminusername -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 5340 to server version: 3.23.54
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql> EXIT
Bye
$
that root is also the adminusername. It is a safer practice to choose a so-called "mortal" account as your mysql admin, so that you
are not entering the command "mysql" as the root user on your system. (Any time you can avoid doing work as root you decrease
your chance of being exploited.) The name you use depends on the name you assigned as the database administrator using
mysqladmin.
wordpress or blog are good values for databasename.
wordpress is a good value for wordpressusername but you should realize that, since it is used here, the entire world will know it,
too.
hostname will usually be localhost. If you don't know what this value should be, check with your system administrator if you are
not the admin for your WordPress host. If you are the system admin, consider using a non-root account to administer your
database.
password should be a difficult-to-guess password, ideally containing a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and
symbols. One good way of avoiding the use of a word found in a dictionary is to use the first letter of each word in a phrase that you
find easy to remember.
If you need to write these values somewhere, avoid writing them in the system that contains the things protected by them. You need to
remember the value used for databasename, wordpressusername, hostname, and password. Of course, since they are already in (or
will be shortly) your wp-config.php file, there is no need to put them somewhere else, too.
Using DirectAdmin
a. If you're a regular User of a single-site webhosting account, you can log in normally. Then click MySQL Management. (If this is not
readily visible, perhaps your host needs to modify your "package" to activate MySQL.) Then follow part "c" below.
b. Reseller accounts Admin accounts may need to click User Level. They must first log in as Reseller if the relevant domain is a
Reseller's primary domain... or log in as a User if the domain is not a Reseller's primary domain. If it's the Reseller's primary domain,
then when logged in as Reseller, simply click User Level. However if the relevant domain is not the Reseller's primary domain, then
you must log in as a User. Then click MySQL Management. (If not readily visible, perhaps you need to return to the Reseller or Admin
level, and modify the "Manage user package" or "Manage Reseller package" to enable MySQL.)
c. In MySQL Management, click on the small words: Create new database. Here you are asked to submit two suffixes for the
database and its username. For maximum security, use two different sets of 4-6 random characters. Then the password field has a
Random button that generates an 8-character password. You may also add more characters to the password for maximum security.
Click Create. The next screen will summarize the database, username, password and hostname. Be sure to copy and paste these
into a text file for future reference.

(For more extensive details, and step by step instructions for creating the configuration file and your secret key for password security,
please see Editing wp-config.php.)
Return to where you extracted the WordPress package in Step 1, rename the file wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php, and
open it in a text editor.
// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
DB_NAME
The name of the database you created for WordPress in Step 2.
DB_USER
The username you created for WordPress in Step 2.
DB_PASSWORD
The password you chose for the WordPress username in Step 2.
DB_HOST
The hostname you determined in Step 2 (usually localhost, but not always; see some possible DB_HOST values). If a port,
socket, or pipe is necessary, append a colon (:) and then the relevant information to the hostname.
DB_CHARSET
The database character set, normally should not be changed (see Editing wp-config.php).
DB_COLLATE
The database collation should normally be left blank (see Editing wp-config.php).
Note: The location of your root web directory in the filesystem on your web server will vary across hosting providers and operating
systems. Check with your hosting provider or system administrator if you do not know where this is.
If you need to upload your files to your web server, use an FTP client to upload all the contents of the wordpress directory (but not
the directory itself) into the root directory of your website.
If your files are already on your web server, and you are using shell access to install WordPress, move all of the contents of the
wordpress directory (but not the directory itself) into the root directory of your website.
In a Subdirectory
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Installation 9/26
27/09/2018 Installing WordPress « WordPress Codex
If you need to upload your files to your web server, rename the wordpress directory to your desired name, then use an FTP client
to upload the directory to your desired location within the root directory of your website.
If your files are already on your web server, and you are using shell access to install WordPress, move the wordpress directory to
your desired location within the root directory of your website, and rename the directory to your desired name.
Note: If your FTP client has an option to convert file names to lower case, make sure it's disabled.
If you placed the WordPress files in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php
If you placed the WordPress files in a subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/blog/wp-
admin/install.php
If WordPress can't find the wp-config.php file, it will tell you and offer to try to create and edit the file itself. (You can also do this
directly by loading wp-admin/setup-config.php in your web browser.) WordPress will ask you the database details and write them
to a new wp-config.php file. If this works, you can go ahead with the installation; otherwise, go back and create, edit, and upload the
wp-config.php file yourself (step 3).
Finishing installation
The following screenshots show how the installation progresses. Notice that in entering the details screen, you enter your site title,
your desired user name, your choice of a password (twice), and your e-mail address. Also displayed is a check-box asking if you
would like your blog to appear in search engines like Google and Technorati. Leave the box unchecked if you would like your blog to
be visible to everyone, including search engines, and check the box if you want to block search engines, but allow normal visitors.
Note all this information can be changed later in your Administration Screens.

If you get an error about the database when you run the install script:
Go back to Step 2 and Step 3, and make sure you entered all the correct database information into wp-config.php.
Make sure you granted your WordPress user permission to access your WordPress database in Step 3.
Make sure the database server is running.
The web server needs to be told to view index.php by default. In Apache, use the DirectoryIndex index.php directive. The
simplest option is to create a file named .htaccess in the installed directory and place the directive there. Another option is to add the
directive to the web server's configuration files.

My page comes out gibberish. When I look at the source I see a lot of "<?php ?>" tags.
If the <?php ?> tags are being sent to the browser, it means your PHP is not working properly. All PHP code is supposed to be
executed before the server sends the resulting HTML to your web browser. (That's why it's called a preprocessor.) Make sure your
web server meets the requirements to run WordPress, that PHP is installed and configured properly, or contact your hosting provider
or system administrator for assistance.
I keep getting an Error connecting to database message but I'm sure my configuration is correct.
Try resetting your MySQL/MariaDB password manually. If you have access to MySQL/MariaDB via shell, try issuing:
If you are using a version of MySQL prior to 4.1, use PASSWORD instead of OLD_PASSWORD. If you do not have shell access, you should
be able to simply enter the above into an SQL query in phpMyAdmin. Failing that, you may need to use your host's control panel to
reset the password for your database user.
I keep getting an Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by
WordPress message but I'm sure my configuration is correct.
Check to make sure that your configuration of your web-server is correct and that the MySQL plugin is getting loaded correctly by your
web-server program. Sometimes this issue requires everything in the path all the way from the web-server down to the
MySQL/MariaDB installation to be checked and verified to be fully operational. Incorrect configuration files or settings are often the
cause of this issue.
If you use the Rich Text Editor on a blog that's installed in a subdirectory, and drag a newly uploaded image into the editor field, the
image may vanish a couple seconds later. This is due to a problem with TinyMCE (the rich text editor) not getting enough information
during the drag operation to construct the path to the image or other file correctly. The solution is to NOT drag uploaded images into
the editor. Instead, click and hold on the image and select Send to Editor.
Automated Installation
Although WordPress is very easy to install, you can use one of the one-click autoinstallers typically available from hosting companies.
The most popular autoinstallers, WordPress Toolkit, Cloudron, Fantastico, Installatron, and Softaculous are described here.

The first step to using Let's Encrypt to obtain an SSL certificate is to install the Certbot software on your server.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress#Famous_5-Minute_Installation 21/26
27/09/2018 Installing WordPress « WordPress Codex
Certbot is in very active development, so the Certbot packages provided by Ubuntu tend to be outdated. However, the Certbot
developers maintain a Ubuntu software repository with up-to-date versions, so we'll use that repository instead.
now we update the package list to pick up the new repository's package info
now that certbot is installed, let's use certbot to install our SSL certificate for our domain
certbot will then prompt you with a message asking for your email address used for urgent renewal and security notices
Enter email address (used for urgent renewal and security notices) (Enter 'c' to
cancel): no@spam.com
then it will prompt you with a terms of service agreement, press A and then enter to accept
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please read the Terms of Service at
https://letsencrypt.org/documents/LE-SA-v1.2-November-15-2017.pdf. You must
agree in order to register with the ACME server at
https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(A)gree/(C)ancel:
it will then ask you if you would like to share your email with the Electronic Frontier Foundation press y or n and hit enter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you be willing to share your email address with the Electronic Frontier
Foundation, a founding partner of the Let's Encrypt project and the non-profit
organization that develops Certbot? We'd like to send you email about EFF and
our work to encrypt the web, protect its users and defend digital rights.

1: No redirect - Make no further changes to the webserver configuration.
2: Redirect - Make all requests redirect to secure HTTPS access. Choose this for
new sites, or if you're confident your site works on HTTPS. You can undo this
change by editing your web server's configuration.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Select the appropriate number [1-2] then [enter] (press 'c' to cancel):
after you hit enter, the configuration will be updated and you should see a success message similar to this
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at
/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem. Your cert will
expire on 2017-10-23. To obtain a new or tweaked version of this
certificate in the future, simply run certbot again with the
"certonly" option. To non-interactively renew *all* of your
certificates, run "certbot renew"
- Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a
secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
making regular backups of this folder is ideal.
- If you like Certbot, please consider supporting our work by:
now let make sure that our auto-renewal is functional on our certbot script
If you see no errors, then congratulations you now have successfully installed an SSL certificate that will automatically renew
Installing WordPress
now that our system is configured for WordPress, we are ready to install it.
let's start with recreating the directory that will contain our source code, with a new directory with the correct permissions, and then
change our working directory to that directory
now we will download WordPress with wget, unarchive it, and remove the archive
wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
tar xf latest.tar.gz --strip-components=1
rm latest.tar.gz
we are now going to edit some configuration files using sed and echo
mv wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
sed -i s/database_name_here/$WP_DB_NAME/ wp-config.php
sed -i s/username_here/$WP_DB_USERNAME/ wp-config.php

sed -i s/password_here/$WP_DB_PASSWORD/ wp-config.php
echo "define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');" >> wp-config.php
next lets change the wornership back to www-data to the directory that our source code is located
finally we can update our username and password with a curl command

WAMP
If you don't have IIS on your computer or don't want to use it, you could use a WAMP Stack :
These stacks can be downloaded freely and set up all the bits you need on your computer to run a website. Once you have
downloaded and installed WAMP, you can point your browser at localhost and use the link to phpmyadmin to create a database.
Then, in order to install WordPress, download the zip file, and extract it into the web directory for your WAMP installation (this is
normally installed as c:\wamp\www). Finally visit http://localhost/wordpress to start the WordPress install. (Assuming you extracted
into c:\wamp\www\wordpress).
Tip: If you want to use anything other than the default permalink structure on your install, make sure you enable the mod_rewrite
module in WAMP. This can be enabled by clicking on the WAMP icon in the taskbar, then hover over Apache in the menu, then
Apache modules and ensure that the rewrite_module item has a checkmark next to it.
