Wordpress Installation Guide for Beginners

Wordpress is now one of the most popular CMS (Content Management System) used for
website development in the world. Released in 2003, Wordpress has surpassed other CMSs
and become the CMS used by almost every website, from blogs to e-commerce sites.
Step 1: Install the XAMPP webserver.
Step 2: You download Worpdress at http://wordpress.org/latest.zip. After you unzip it out
will be a folder named wordpress that you can rename to any name as long as your name
doesn't contain spaces (you can replace the spaces with _). Next, you copy this folder into
XAMPP/htdocs (here my path is D:\XAMPP\htdocs)

Step 3: Create a database (database). Go to the http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ link and click


on the Databases tab to create a database as shown below. The code table of the database you
choose is utf8_general_ci to be able to use Vietnamese on the website (ci is case insensitive -
the database does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters).
Step 4: Install Wordpress. You access the http://localhost/ten_thu_muc_chua_wordpress link
(here on my machine is http://localhost/wordpress). On the first page that appears, you can
select the language as Vietnamese or you can leave the default as English.

Next you click Let's go!


Next, you enter the information connected to the database including Database Name /
Database Access Username / Password of the database access account / Database name you
just created. Table prefix you can type any character. For example, ecode_ these are the
characters that will be added to the top of the table name in the database to add additional
security to the database.
If the information you entered is correct, after clicking submit, we will see the page as below.

You click on Run the install to install it. On the next screen, you will need to enter more
information including website name, username, admin password, admin password recovery
email.
After Wordpress auto-installs, we'll get a page like this - pretty bad, isn't it! (You go to
http://localhost/folder_chua_wordpress to see the page).
Step 5: Change the page interface (template). To change the website appearance you go to
http://localhost/folder_chua_wordpress/wp-admin. Next, you select the appearance menu and
choose a theme that you like for Wordpress's free template store.
You click install to install. Then click on active to activate the template
And this is our achievement. It's that simple, isn't it? I wish you a successful Wordpress
installation.
