Install WordPress 2.7 on Cpanel

In order to successfully installing Worpress 2.7 onto CPanel just following this simple to use guide:

Part one Installation:

1. Download the main zip (compressed) file from: http://wordpress.org/download/

2. When you have  downloaded the zipped file, save it to the correct location (in relation to where it will be going on your hosting server).

For this example installation, we will upload it to our main root folder (e.g. public_html).

3. As soon as you have confirmed that the zip file has been uploaded, to the correct location – Log into your CPanel account, and then click: the File Manager option.

4. In CPanel / File Manager – select the zip file (which in this example is in the foot folder, or public_html). Then click the un-pack option from the top horizontal menu.

5. The CPanel File Manager wizard will now unzip the Word Press zip files into the same directory.

Part two installation:

6. Close the File Manager page, and instead open the MySQL Databases page.

7. In the CPanel MySQL Databases page, you will need to create a new database, user and password. WordPress will install and create the necessary DB tables within your new DB using your new user and password.

8. Once you have done this you will need to give permission to that User to use your new DB; So choose that User and Database you want to authorise access to, and then click Add.

9. Download and Change the name of the file: wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php, updating your correct User, Database, and Password details within the file; Once done then re-upload this file to the sever (with the new name).

10. If you need to move files around, this is the time to do this, including removing any container folders in order to thave your new Word Press website run from the root or main folder (public_html).
