Content Management
I downloaded the latest release of Wordpress from wordpress.org and unpacked the zip file.
I then uploaded the files into their own folder on the server via FTP in Filezilla.
The next step was to create a database for Wordpress. By creating a MySQL account on cems I was able to log into PHPMyAdmin to view the database. At this point there are no table to view.
I entered the database details into the wp-config.php file so the software can connect to the database in order to create the table structure and edit its data.
By entering the URL of the Wordpress fold in my browser I was prompted to proceed with the install. I was confident that the software connected to the database successfully as there were no errors at this point.
I proceeded to fill out the required fields of the Wordpress install, making note of the username and password for future reference.
Once Wordpress was installed I was prompted to view the website or enter the admin area.
I entered the admin area where I was promted to login using the details I entered into the install form. After successfully login in I was taken to the main dashboard area of Wordpress.
Wordpress was now installed on the server and ready to use. By installing a back-up plugin I was able to save the website in it's current state just incase of any issues.
