Installation WordPress
Install the latest version of WordPress on your server. You can download the ZIP-file for free at www.wordpress.org. After unzipping the files you see a WordPress-folder. Upload the complete folder to your server of your favorite FTP client. Pay attention: place the files at the root of your website. This location will be the URL of your website.

Go to your URL using your browser and you’ll probably see this report:

During this process of installing you’ll have to provide the config-file with your own data. Search for the file wp-config-sample.php and open it with your favorite editor. Change the information in to your database like following:

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘usermywebsite’);
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘mywebsite1234′);
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);
Pay attention! Save the wp-config-sample.php file as wp-config.php and upload the file to your server.
