IMPORTANT ! READ THIS AND TAKE NOTES BEFORE MANUAL UPLOADING :
- Open the readme.html file inside the wordpress folder (this folder is automatically created when we unzip the wordpress files that we have downloaded from wordpress.org earlier).
- On that file, prior to uploading we have to open file wp-config-sample.php with a text editor (I recommend notepad), and then fill in our database connection details (database name, user name, and password) and then save this file as wp-config.php
If you do not do 2 steps above, then after uploading if we go to http://www.yourdomain,com/yournewblog , we will get file not found page !
So I will re-write about manual uploading right from the start!
Ok, because I already use demo1 for uploading using fantastico, so with this manual uploading I’m going to upload the wordpress to demotutorial folder, inside the public_html folder. Therefore after we finished uploading, we can go to http://www.smartmoneymakingwebsite.com/demotutorial to start installing our blog with only several clicks. Very easy. I will show step by step process to do this. and by the way, manual installation is a bit more complicated compare to using fantastico, but we will learn more on using cpanel, creating database etc. ……. and this actually easy to do, let’s get started.
First thing to do, go to our cpanel (look at my previous post about this) and create our database, database user and password. On cpanel click MySQL icon , we go to this page and create data base :
After clicked “go back” we’ll be taken back to MySQL page, scroll down to create user for this database as follow:
Our next task is to add user to the database and manage user privileges, so, after we get back to MySQL page (look instruction on picture above), we scroll down to get this :

After we clicked “Add” button (see instruction on picture above), we will taken to this page to manage privileges :
We’ve done creating our database, user and password. Only 1 preparation left before we do the uploading. As earlier said, we have unzipped wordpress by extracting the wordpress zipped file, therefore we will have new wordpress folder on our laptop/pc. then do the important notes at the beginning of this post. I’ll show you how, with picture, see below :
After we done this, go ahead upload the wordpress to public_html/demotutorial directory on our server, here’s how we do it :
We have done uploading with complete database settings, so now, if we go to our browser and go to http://www.smartmoneymakingwebsite.com/demotutorial we will arrive at http://smartmoneymakingwebsite.com/demotutorial/wp-admin/install.php and the page look like this :
Type in Our Blog name and e-mail address (we can change them later if needed) then click install, installation will take about 1 second! and we are taken to this page :
Copy the password and then click next, we will be taken to the login page, type admin for username, and paste on the password box, then click login, then we are login at our wordpress back end workplace ! congratulation! our blog is ready.
Important ! first thing we need to do at this back end is click the “admin” on the upper right hand side, and then change the password to your secure but familiar to you.
That’s it for now friends,
see you on the next post
