Installing a Wordpress Blog
4. Download a Wordpress theme
This is the fun part. Go to the official Wordpress theme browser and pick a theme. They are all free. When you find one you like, just download it and unzip it just like you did with the Wordpress ZIP file.
5. Configure Wordpress
Open the Wordpress folder and rename the file wp-config-sample.php to just wp-config.php. Now open it and insert the 4 pieces of information about your database into the 4 fields below.
Change:
define(’DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
define(’DB_USER’, ‘username’); // Your MySQL username
define(’DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’); // …and password
define(’DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
to
define(’DB_NAME’, ‘yourDatabaseName’); // The name of the database
define(’DB_USER’, ‘your-username’); // Your MySQL username
define(’DB_PASSWORD’, ‘your-password’); // …and password
define(’DB_HOST’, ‘your-hostname’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
