How to Install Wordpress on WampServer?
- Start your wamp server and let it go green.
- Lets make a database first for your wordpress. Open phpMyAdmin panel you can do it by clicking on the button on wampserver or you can directly go to it by writing localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser.
- On phpMyAdmin go to Database and write a name for the database and press the Create button.
Now you need a user for your database. There is always a default user "root" but i always recommend a new one. Go to Check Privileges of your Database. As in above picture that is written close to Database created. On next page click Add User, give the required information and always remember to check all privileges before submit.
Now lets install wordpress. First you need to have Wordpress script which you can download from www.wordpress.org. After you are done with downloading. Unzip that package and put the wordpress folder in drive:\wamp\www
Now go to localhost and just click the folder name of your wordpress directory.
After that you click the Create a Configuration file and you will be forwarded to Database setup page. Fill in the required information matching it with the database you just created in wamp phpMyAdmin and Submit. When the database will make a connection with the script it will give you option to Run the Install just click it.
Now finally you will have to setup the wordpress site by giving it a Title, Username, Password and an email. Remember this username and password can be different and i always recommend not to use the same user and password you used for your database because of security reasons. After that just press the Install Wordpress. You will receive a success message.
Now to See how your site looks like just visit localhost/wordpress .If the name of the folder you put your wordpress script in is different use that name and to go to the admin panel go to localhost/wordpress/wp-admin
