Installing wordpress

First go to mySQL databases in cpanel, then you create a database, lets name it robert_wordpress2.
Then create a user, lets name it "robert_robert" and a password of "1337"

This is what the code looks like in wp-config-sample.php".

Code:

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
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

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix  = 'wp_';   // example: 'wp_' or 'b2' or 'mylogin_'

// Change this to localize WordPress.  A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');

/* Stop editing */

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>

Change line 3 from "wordpress" to "robert_wordpress2"
Change line 4 from "username" to "robert_robert"
Change line 5 from "password" to "1337"

So that it looks like the below

Code:

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'robert_wordpress2');     // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'robert_robert');     // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', '1337'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');     // 99% chance you won't need to change this value

// Change the prefix if you want to have multiple blogs in a single database.
$table_prefix  = 'wp_';   // example: 'wp_' or 'b2' or 'mylogin_'

// Change this to localize WordPress.  A corresponding MO file for the
// chosen language must be installed to wp-includes/languages.
// For example, install de.mo to wp-includes/languages and set WPLANG to 'de'
// to enable German language support.
define ('WPLANG', '');

/* Stop editing */

define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__).'/');
require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>

On line 6 you will not need to change, you only change this if you are using a remotly hosted mySQL database, in that 1% chance, just change it to the host that is hosting the database.

You only edit the rest if you need to go more advanced.

The final thing you do is go to admin control panel and make the content for the website.

Then you go to Wp_admin/install.php

You will get an error on line 15, i tryed to fix it, and i had an error, so you will have to leave that for how.

On step 2 of the install, enter your wordpress title and your e-mail.

Then you have finished installing the script, and then you log in using "admin" and the password which is randomly generated.
