The Automatic 5 Minute installation

Access your Website Cpanel. Basically this is done by typing in your domain name with a slash and then following it with the word cpanel. Example http://www.yourdomain.com/cpanel.

The view of entering my Cpanel may be completely different on your website. I just want to show the steps on how I access it.

Again this view may not be exactly represented on your website hosting.

This is the intial view of my Cpanel, depending upon your webhost a Cpanel software level it may look a little different.

Look for and locate the Fantastico icon. Once located click the Fantastico icon. You will taken to the next screen on your web-browser.

This usually is on the lefthand side. Click the "WordPress" menu.

On this screen what you want to select and click is "New Installation"

There is a decision that needs be made here. I install my "WordPress Applications" in the root as I use them as a regualar website. If you are installing Wordpress in the root you will leave "Install in directory" blank.

If you have a website already installed on your domain root that you are happy with and want to add WordPress to your website, you would put a folder name here. This will all be created automatically after you type it in.

You can then go to the next step to complete the steps of the installation.

Here we are using the word "printversion" to install our WordPress application into the directory of printversion.

A directory installation URL looks like this: http://www.computervideorepair.com/printversion/

The root installation URL looks like this: http://www.computervideorepair.com/

I want to repeat – we do step 1 if we are installing in a directory as opposed to the root directory.

Follow the steps in order with your own values for username, password, e-mail, etc.

Step 8 is ONLY "CLICKED" once the above Seven (7) steps are completed in this step.

Before you click the finish installation button, take note of what I pointed to with the red arrow which is your MySQL username Is used to connect to your MySQL database. The website URLs are also displayed in the gray box.

Pay attention to the text in the red rectangle, especially the URL and then go visit your site and login.

The following information that you would be adding in Steps 1 – 4, are filled-in the next step of this lesson.

Click the "Login" as your last step to Login into your Wordpress website.

This is a view of the Wordpress administration dashboard. If you click the area within the green rectangle you will be able to see the site you have created.

Above is the completed installation of your Wordpress application.

Please turn your speakers up of you are unable to hear.
