I can’t open your tutorial – what software do I need to run it? Thanks.

you won’t tell!!!!

[...] cre8d design – Rachel Cunliffe has just published a tutorial on installing WordPress 2.0 – a day too late for me :-/ – and runs a web studio which  focuses on Blog Design. Rachel also has a neat toolkit which I’m sure I will find handy too. [...]

Oh, no its ok – I figured it out… I opened it in Firefox and it seemed to work fine. Thanks.

Nice tutorial…

Thanks for the tutorial! What software did you use to put it together?

…was up and running in a few minutes…amazing.
Thank you SO much.

[...] This is all well and good, and I guess they’re be an audience for this. But… blog software is changing rapidly and the instructions could become quickly outdated. Each of these systems have great online installation instructions. There’s a tonne of resources like my video tutorial for installing Wordpress 2.0 too. I don’t really consider this to be a part of blog design – I’d hope that one would start from a basis that assumes your audience already has a blog installed. With your blog set up, they then show you how to build great looking, usable layouts for your blog. [...]

it was to quick for to understand how it work

Great discussion. Kudos to ya.

I am glad to find your site – now I know what a good one looks like.

I installed WordPress and it assigned me an admin user name (admin) and password. When I used that password to sign in, it says I don’t have permission to access the folder wp-admin on this site. How stupid is that? I used the user name and password it assigned!

This was sooo easy to understand, can’t figure out why it seemed so hard! Now I have another issue – I have a WP template I like, just to make my blog look like MY BLOG. Do you have a tutorial on that too? for a beginner, I sure want a lot huh? I’m getting my hosting tonight because currently my blog is on blogger and that is not going to work.
Thank you for your time.

[...] If you are new to Wordpress, it can be overwhelming.  Installation is the hardest part.  Luckily, Rachel Cunliffe of cre8d design has posted a flash video tutorial on installing Wordpress 2.0.  I like to call this “The Idiots’s Guide to Installing Wordpress 2.0″ because Rachel makes it so simple.  This is a must see for anyone wanting to create a Wordpress blog. [...]

Thank you Rachel. It’s very kind of you to take the time to explain to us visual biased peeps how to do it in pictures! (I see therefore I know). :¬)

Thank you Rachel
I’ve set up wordpress before, but with a web host that had fantastico, which made it reall easy.When faced with the prospect of doing it manually I began to blanch and sweat.
While it tokk a bit more than 5 minutes, it was still a godsend.
Thank you again, and I forgive Nzers for everything – well nearly everything.

hi rachel. thanks for the tutorial but i have a problem. what is MySQL? do i have to download that? sorry im also a newbie to wpress. thanks

Cheeks, MySQL is what you need to create a database, it comes with your hosting account, if it doesnt, im sure you can purchase on for extra cash!
If it’s already with your hosting package, you will find it in your control panel.

Hi, do you have a WordPress install tutorial for Mac users?
I don’t see it here. Also, when I ran this one, it went really fast–I hardly had time to look at the screens. Am I doing something wrong?

hello, i keep getting the error “Error establishing a database connection” when i try to run the install.php file. Ive already installed mysql 5.0.19-standard and i have PHP Version 4.3.11, i have created a database named wordpress, i have changed this values in the wp-config.php file. What can i be doing wrong, please help!!

I just followed all you rinstructions, and ftp’d all files on my web hosting service. After editing the files as described, and having little issues with my FTP client under Windows, I checked all fiels were transferred properly, continued with your instructions, et voila !!! I have my very own blog server. I will look at maybe redoing it with other passwods and/or settings, but your visual description was great !!! I like it !!!

Thanks Rachel,
Reading the instructions was very scary, then I watched your Flash and it all made sense. (For those who, like me, read slowly or want to absorb the whole thing before moving on — simply stop and go the animation — it works fine)

Now I have to go do it — btw I agree with the person who requested an animation on skinning — I guess you are now the go-to girl.

My dear Rachel,

Why didn’t you explain what is meant by “database connection?”
Why not give some examples what and exactly where in the wp-config.php file I am supposed to add my info? I don’t know the names of my database or my “MySQL username, and if I did, exactly where where would I type this in?

I already have a blog: http://www.phillmd.wordpress.com, but I would like to construct a website, separate in unrelated to the blog.

Reading the above, I sound like a horrible whiner. I’m sorry. I appreciate your demonstration. I may need a True Idiot’s Guide.

Why don’t you use the automatic Installer at http://www.onestepinstall.com .

It uploads and configure for you. So you don’t need FTP Client like WISE or edit wp-config.php.

[...] I went to WordPress and downloaded the program. Easy as pie. Now it was time for the “Famous 5 Minute Install.” There was a great visual tutorial and it really was helpful…until I hit “upload.” It was going to take my FTP program (Ipswitch) any where between 3 and 4 HOURS to “git ‘er done”. WTF? So I call my ISP and ask what the deal is. Cable is supposed to be fast you morons. We do a few speed tests and discover that my computer has great numbers in the download and upload categories. According to my customer service rep, the slooow upload must be a problem with the server at my webhost. [...]

Thanks a lot – I was using so much time fiddling around with phpmyadmin before this.

hi want to test the wordpress on a demo server setup on my computer with all neccesary ingrediants such as pHp, mysql and apache !. can i test before i could really load on to my webserver !

pls suggest on this!

Rachel, that was a great tutorial. I’ve never set up anything on a server in my life. I’m going to watch the tutorial again then give it a try.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can …

Hi I’m tryieng to install this software

Hi Rachel

On page 20 of your flash-visual-installation, you write, “In your browser, go to the folder you uploaded Wordpress to. If every thing’s OK, you’ll seethis page. Click on the install.php link”

Well, when I get to the folder, all I get is this….

….any idea where I’m going wrong?

Mucho thanks! in advance, – Simon

PS – You look cute.

argh! it didn’t show up. Let me try again. (Ahem) “All I get is this…”

CHEVRON ?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
? CHEVRON

Dang you’re quick! …and you were right, but even though I’ve now enabled it the result is the same. Should I have to start from the beginning or something? (As you can tell I’m not tech-minded at all :[ )

Many thanks Rachel.

I’m fairly sure it’s enabled. I’ve refreshed the page and it does say “Enabled”, as does MySQL etc. Can I send you a screenshot? (I feel a bit guilty filling out your blog with lots of posts. :S )

Great tutorial. Helped a lot. Re, Mashup

Nice tutorial…

Hi Rachel,
A ‘real’ dummy’s question for you:
Can I decide not to pay the ‘one-off’ set-up fee and annual extra cost of my provider adding mySQL (I have a windows acct. with MS Access running, so no-good for wordpress) and directly install mySQL 5.0 to a directory on my site, then install wordpress(?)

Hope that makes sense.
Thanks, Bill

oh well – another cash-out!
Thanks any Rachel

Solid effort on the tutorial!

Hi Rachel,
As I see you have experience in wordpress installation. I was trying but I just got “Your server is running PHP version 4.0.6 but WordPress requires at least 4.1″ instead.
Do you have any idea about solution?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Noe

Thanks a lot Rachel,

Thanks for your work to help us with the installation. I just viewed the file and it looks great. I will use it and let you know how successful I was.
Thanks again Rachel
JJ
