This is a modified version of GeeksAreSexy's guide in installing Wordpress.
For this post, I would assume that you have the following on your box:- Apache
- PHP
- MySQL
1. Create a database named wordpress in MySQL.
2. Download Wordpress and unzip it in C:\Program Files\Apache2.2\htdocs
3. Open wp-config-sample.php using your favorite text editor (e.g. Notepad) and replace it with the following values:
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'root'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // Your MySQL password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'root'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // Your MySQL password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
4. Open your web browser and navigate to: http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
5. You should now see the welcome note of Wordpress. Enter the necessary information. Enjoy!
