How To Install Wordpress from Scratch - Part 2

[podge1372]

Thanks Ryan! Great tutorial...I consider myself pretty tech savvy but don't know how long it would have taken me to fumble my own way though all of the install without your video. Great job, easy to follow and concise. Thanks again!

[daxchipmunk]

You're AWESOME!

[SkippinAflame]

Great video but i cannot find my website's name in the public html folder. The only things that appear in this folder are cgi-bin, .htaccess, 400.shtml, 401.shtml, 402.shtml, 403.shtml, 404.shtml, 500.php, 500.shtml, default.html, and favicon.ico. Should I just upload my wordpress files directly into the publichtml folder or how can i find my website name within it?

[aras0119]

ok...im such a girl and i swear i fumbled a billion times before i saw your vid Ryan..mind you this was done 4 years ago but still very good and resourceful. thank you for giving us "not so technically savvy folk" opportunity to be such!

[mcolomy]

Ryan, your video was immensely helpful. I use 1and1 as a host, but I was easily able to figure out everything even though the versions, etc have updated. Great video - I can't thank you enough!! (Oddly there are newer videos from other users but they're nearly impossible to watch/understand). Hugely helpful resource. Thanks a million!

[kkiioo0000]

thanks a lot... i was tired of blogger..

[dlusiondone]

You're a legend Ryan, excellent tutorial. Thanks heaps!

[CarlxCor]

I can't manage to connect FZ with my server! I'm using hostgator and i put 21 on my port number, but it won't connect.

[Christianfreek247]

@CarlxCor i am having same problem..did you get it to work?

[TheChrisOS1337]

THANK YOU SO MUCH ! <33 LOVA YA (no homo)

[rjsurfing222]

Thanks!!



[sinistersin13]

I can't find it under public_html...

[nils8950UTAUACC]

hng i love you for this <3

you are awesoome

[Xbal1000]

I found your video really useful. However, i've got one single problem. When i'm connecting my host to the site, Filezilla says that there is an error. Basically I can't connect the website to the host. What would be the problem? The port number, maybe?

[raquelia2513]

this guy really understands how to teach! Thank you SO MUCH for going over the basics, you made it so easy!

[NickROZ1]

@littlematty123 It is fine now I found a quick and easy way to install wordpress on my domain

[kissypipa]

You are awesome! Thank you!!

[fergiefart2]

Doesn't work. I'm running localhost with Apache and when I try to go to my site, the file index on my website shows up. What am I doing wrong?

[NickROZ1]

when i click on the site manager on filezilla after i have put all my details in it says connection refused by sever???

What am I doing wrong??

[littlematty123]

@NickROZ1 thats what it says for me

[littlematty123]

@NickROZ1 where did you purchase your domain from i can help :)?

[mrjoy85]

ok a little confused once i clicked on the public HTML folder there was nothing to indercate my site name can you help there was only files with numbers in there names

[Nafretili]

It's a great guide that helped massively with the installation! I just don't know what to do next! When I visit my webpage it just says 'access denied' I'm new to web building

[RakanMy]

this was very helpful..thank you

[GrodeHabbo]

how do I find out the correct port?

[ebizpro2go]

When I type my domain into my browser I get, Error establishing a database connection... what am i doing wrong?

[Hoolysegoo]

@ebizpro2go I'm getting the same thing. It's a server/host connection error. I'm using goDaddy and I can't for the life of me figure out what the host name is. I've tried what godaddy gave me as a hostname but it didn't work. Neither did localhost. Did you figure this out by chance?

[mikews11]

Hi Ryan..I just loved your tutorial..Just fantastic:0)

I was trying to install word using Fantastico..and I got this warning

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Access denied for user 'netonlin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /tmp/cpanel_phpengine.13172117­13.7578pLqCimZ0nL on line 1617

Access denied for user 'netonlin'@'localhost' (using password: Y >What's wrong?

[dumdum7355]

When I try pointing my browser to my website, it opens Hostgator cPanel, not WordPress. Why is this???

[Dealerwebsitecenter]

Thank you very much....I paused and followed every step

[pepperspraaay]

this is the best tutorial that really shows the perfect step by step.good job!!!!!!!!

[darkfirebg]

Thanks:)



[Jen060788]

It didnt work for me ...

[christophedetiege]

Thanks a lot for this man :P i am making a newsblog for young people and i'm 16 and don't know anything about files and codes and blahblah... but this helped me alot. thanks.

[crapweaseler]

Hey Ryan, Under my public_html folder I only have 'files' 'images' and 'Scripts' available to choose from... Where should I drag and drop wordpress into out of those options?

[milunicorn]

Suppose I have registered the domain at namecheap and installed wordpress. Would it then be possible to uppgrade the space on wordpress store?

[frederikVtube]

I just made a wordpress website via the browser but I want to buy a domain name now - how do I transfer the content from my wordpress website to the newly registered domain?

Cheers

[ryanmcmillan]

@frederikVtube Best way is to use the Export tool inside of Wordpress.

[frederikVtube]

@ryanmcmillan Thanks. Can I use the WordPress design I've chosen, or will it be lost when I export the content to a remote server?

[AbyssalBait]

Does this not work for vistapanel? :(

Can I not use byethost?

[ryanmcmillan]

@AbyssalBait my instructions should work for most hosting providers.

[AbyssalBait]

@ryanmcmillan I must have done something wrong, will try for the 3rd/4th time.

When i do the final step which is actually going to the site to make wordpress appear it just takes me to the root and when i go to open any files and such it opens in text on my browser... Somewhat hard to explain. :(

Any free hosts you could suggest that use cpanel and not vistapanel?

[mahesh24chahyal]

Dude this video rocks... Its so much easy to follow... I installed WP on my site within half an hour cause of this video... Thank you so much... :)

[Recordscience]

You are fucking awesome that's my comment

[snielsen60187]

Even tho it's 2 years old, it's a great video, Ryan. Worked first time through. Just an FYI, my web host is JustHost and what was nice is that the web site installation was done right from there. They even set up the SQL Database and put all the WordPress files in the right directory on my site. Now all I have to do is figure out how to use it : )

[fourstar82]

Great tutorial Ryan, finally got Wordpress installed! Wish I'd found this about 6 months ago!

[deviantzx]

[bkenny08]

Ryan, thanks for the video. I have followed the steps exactly. I have simple website with 4 pages at present I would like to add wordpress. I am using Filezilla I amended the config file (& Cpanel SQL) transferred and nothing any ideas.

[il2k3]

@TheMonica707 you have to go to where you registered your domain and set it so that the domain name is "connected" with your host.
