Need some guides to install WordPress

[Singachea]

Hi

I lost of how to install WordPress in my local machine, I see many guides telling how to set it up, but I got a bit problem with creating Database via MySQL, the guide I saw was using cPanel, but I have phpMyAdmin installed in my machine. I need some help.

Heh brother,
Where did you get lost?

Some steps to follow:
1- Create a database name inside your phpmyadmin
2- Open wp-config.php to change your database detail
3- Open up the URL to install your wordpress.

Inside the wp-config.php, 3 things are important:
DB_NAME >>Change this to your Database Name (You create one inside your phpmyadmin
DB_USER >> A database User (by default, it is "root", u get this when u first install your mysql server)
DB_PASSWORD >> a password to your database.

Let me know, ks?

Hi brother,

Before you posted, I found a post in a forum of my ISP.
Actually I forgot to change from localhost to my server database.
Now it's fine.

Anyway, thanks
