How To Install Wordpress On Your PC ?
Tags: how, install, on, pc, to, wordpress, your
This question always come in my mind before I started to blog a few months ago. How to install wordpress on my own pc ? Ok, I’ll show you step by step on how to do this.
1. You have to install WampServer on your computer. You can download it HERE. It’s just free =)
2. After all the installation is done, open the WampServer program. You’ll notice that there will be an icon on the bottom right side of the windows. Left click an click on www directory.
3. A window will open. Create a new folder in it. For example “blog“. Upload all the wordpress files into “blog” folder. You can use any name you want. But in this tutorial I use blog for my folder
4. Now I assume that you’ve uploaded all wordpress files into “blog” folder. Left click on the icon again and click Localhost.
5. Click on phpmyadmin under Your Aliases menu.
6. Now, you have to create a new database for your blog. Fill in any word. For example, I use “blog” for my database. Hit on create button.
7. You have to add user for your database. Click on Privileges tab and click on Add a new user.
8. Fill in the form and hit Go button.
9. Open the wp-config-sample.php in the “blog” folder and change the database name, user for your blog and the password. Save the file as wp-config.php.
10. Left click on the icon again and click Localhost. Click on blog link under Your Projects menu.
11. The hard part is over. Just fill on your blog title and your email. Hit Install Wordpress button and you’re done !
That’s all. Enjoy =)

@ Benjamin Cip,
I never use Mac before. Maybe it’s just like Windows too. Not very different =)

Nowadays, Cpanel provides fantatisco feature which allow you to install Wordpress in a few clicks. Very easy installation. Are you using Direct Admin or Cpanel?

I’m using cpanel for my hosting. Actually, this tutorial is for you to install wordpress on your computer not on your webhosting =)

Nice!
Sometimes we wanna test the blog/theme/exploring and at the same time don’t have any extra database. This is the best method.
Thanks blinkky!

@ en_me,
If there is no wp-config-sample.php, maybe the file already changed to wp-config.php.

Ada beza ke cpanel dengan direct admin? ke yang membezakannya hanya company yang berlainan. saya guna direct admin.

@ blogresipi,
Tak banyak perbezaan antara Cpanel dan Direct Admin. Kalau dilihat dari segi perbezaan, mungkin hanya antaramukanya sahaja yang berlainan.
