How to Install WordPress With cPanel

WordPress (WP) is a widely used content-management system. Its ease of use, numerous themes, and plugins, as well as strong community support, have made it the number one solution in the world. WordPress is used for everything from simple blogs to complex websites.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to install WordPress with cPanel.

 

Upload WordPress Install Script to Server

1. Go to your cPanel account. You will find it by browsing to your_domain_name.com/cpanel.

2. Enter your user credentials and log in.

3. Find the File Manager tool and open it.

4. Look for the public_html directory. The public_html directory is your web root, the directory in which you want to store all your websites.

5. You need to decide on the location of your WordPress site. There are two options:

• In the root directory of your domain (e.g., your_domain_name.com/)

Upload all contents of the WordPress folder, but not the folder itself. After the upload, all WP files and subfolders should reside in public_html.

• In a subfolder of your domain (e.g., your_domain_name.com/site1). 

Assign User to Database and Assign Permissions

The newly created user doesn’t have access to the database.

1. Find the Add User To Database section of the page.

2. Under the User drop-down menu, select your newly created user.

3. Choose your newly created database under the Database drop-down menu and click Add.

4. The next step would be to assign database privileges. For the initial database user, select the All Privileges checkbox.

5. Click Make Changes to assign privileges to the user.

6. To verify, go back and scroll down to view current databases. There should be a database and a privileged user assigned to the database.

Once this has been set up, you can navigate back to your_domain_name.com/wordpress and complete the installation.
