Manual Method<\/h3>\n
WordPress takes about 5 minutes to install and 3 minutes to configure. Maybe more, maybe less depending upon how easily you get sidetracked.<\/p>\n
There are 3 main components to setting WordPress up: (1) configuring a database to store information, (2) uploading the files, (3) changing permissions to allow write access. For speed, we recommend using a FTP-Client<\/a>\u00a0oder Terminal<\/a> to setup WordPress. This will cover setting up WordPress using the control panel exclusively.<\/p>\n
Prerequisites<\/h3>\n
- \n
- Login to the Bedienfeld<\/a><\/li>\n
- Create a database<\/a> to store data via Databases<\/strong> > MySQL Manager<\/strong>\n
- \n
- In this example, this database will be called\u00a0
wordpress<\/code> with an account database prefixex_<\/span><\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n- Connect WordPress to a folder (Dokumentenstamm<\/a>) on your account. If installing WordPress on the primary domain, skip this step, WordPress will be installed under
\/var\/www\/html<\/code>\n- \n
- On a new domain, visit DNS<\/strong> > Addon-Domains<\/strong>\u00a0to add a new domain + document root<\/li>\n
- As a subdomain, e.g. http:\/\/blog.mydomain.com<\/em>, via\u00a0Web<\/strong> >\u00a0Subdomains<\/strong> to add a new subdomain + document root<\/li>\n
- WordPress will be installed on a subdomain called
blog<\/code> with a folder location\u00a0\/var\/www\/wp<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nUploading WordPress<\/h3>\n
There are three methods of getting WordPress on your account ordered from fastest to slowest and additionally sorted from most to least difficult. Choose whichever works best for you!<\/p>\n
Option 1: Downloading from terminal<\/h4>\n
This is available only for accounts with terminal access<\/a>.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Login to the Terminal<\/a><\/li>\n
- Switch to the Dokumentenstamm<\/a>\n
- \n
cd \/var\/www\/wp<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n- Download and extract WordPress using wget<\/a>\n
- \n
wget http:\/\/wordpress.org\/latest.zip && unzip latest.zip && rm -f latest.zip\u00a0<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n- Move WordPress from
wordpress\/<\/code> back to\/var\/www\/wp<\/code>\n- \n
cd wordpress\/ && mv * ..\/ && cd .. && rmdir\u00a0wordpress<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nOption 2:\u00a0Uploading with FTP<\/h4>\n
This is the fastest method, supported by all accounts, to get WordPress up and running:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Download the current WordPress distribution,\u00a0latest.zip<\/a><\/li>\n
- Login to the FTP server<\/a><\/li>\n
- Navigate to remote directory designated as Dokumentenstamm<\/a> for WordPress<\/li>\n
- Upload those files located inside\u00a0
wordpress\/<\/code> imlatest.zip<\/code> file to the remote directory<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nOption 3: Uploading files in\u00a0control panel<\/h4>\n
FTP<\/a> is much quicker to upload files. If you’re comfortable with\u00a0using a FTP client, use a FTP client to save some time (and a considerable number of steps).<\/p>\n
- \n
- Visit Dateien<\/strong> > Datei-Manager<\/strong> within the control panel<\/li>\n
- Switch to the new folder by selecting Change Directory<\/strong> >\u00a0Browse…<\/strong> unter\u00a0Current Path<\/span><\/li>\n
- Within\u00a0Commands<\/strong> >\u00a0Remote URL\u00a0<\/strong>enter\u00a0
http:\/\/wordpress.org\/latest.zip<\/code>\u00a0then click\u00a0Download and Extract<\/strong>\n- \n
- Delete
index.html<\/code>\u00a0if it exists. This is a placeholder file and will take precedence over WordPress’s Indexdatei<\/a>,index.php<\/code>. To do so, hover over the file, go to Actions<\/em>, select the\u00a0Delete<\/em> action<\/li>\n- WordPress’ latest version will be downloaded to your account, then extracted in the current directory\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nSummary of actions to do in File Manager: remove index.html, enter URL, click button.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Navigate to the newly created\u00a0
wordpress\/<\/code> directory to move all files\u00a0down a level<\/li>\n- Select all files, under\u00a0Commands<\/strong> >\u00a0Add Selected File(s) to Clipboard<\/strong><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n
![\"WordPress](\"https:\/\/kb.okra.host\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/wp-selected-files-300x114-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nWordPress bulk selection files in the control panel. These files will be moved down a directory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
- Move back\u00a0up a directory by clicking\u00a0Parent Directory<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Select all files under\u00a0Clipboard Contents<\/strong>, click\u00a0Move<\/strong><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n
![\"Managing](\"https:\/\/kb.okra.host\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/wordpress-clipboard-view-297x300-1.png\")

- Additionally remove the now empty
wordpress\/<\/code> directory. Select the\u00a0directory,\u00a0Commands<\/strong> >\u00a0Delete Selected Files<\/strong> + select\u00a0recursive<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nWordPress installation wizard<\/h3>\n
Now that WordPress is up and running, we need to setup a default configuration.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Visit your WordPress\u00a0web site\n
- \n
- In our example, from the\u00a0Prerequisites<\/span> step, it would be http:\/\/blog.mydomain.com<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Plug in your database details\n
- \n
- Database Name<\/strong> is the database created earlier in Databases<\/strong> >\u00a0MySQL Manager<\/strong>\n
- \n
- In our example, this is
ex_wordpress<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n- User Name<\/strong> is either the username logged into the control panel to create the database or another user separately created to access the database\n
- \n
- Use a separate user to keep your master database password\u00a0secret<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Password<\/strong> is the corresponding password\n
- \n
- Need to reset your MySQL password? See KB: Das MySQL-Passwort zur\u00fccksetzen<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Database Host<\/strong> und Table Prefix<\/strong> will remain the same (
localhost<\/code>\/wp_<\/code>)\n<\/p>\n![\"WordPress](\"https:\/\/kb.okra.host\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/wordpress-database-settings-300x195-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nWordPress database settings following this walkthrough.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- WordPress needs to store this configuration file inside its application\u00a0directory. With security restrictions in place (it’s for your own good!<\/em>) this file must be uploaded separately either through the terminal, FTP, or control panel.\n
- \n
- Using a basic text editor like Notepad or TextEdit (see How to Set Up TextEdit as HTML or Plain Text Editor<\/a>) copy and paste the wp-config.php contents to a new text file<\/li>\n
- Save this file as
wp-konfiguration.php<\/code><\/li>\n- Upload to your WordPress location, in this example it’s
\/var\/www\/wp<\/code><\/code>\n<\/p>\n![\"Uploading](\"https:\/\/kb.okra.host\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/wp-config-enqueued-file-manager-300x60.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nUploading wp-config.php during installation in the File Manager.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Click\u00a0Run the install<\/strong> in WordPress’ installer to complete installation\n
- \n
- Select a username apart from\u00a0
admin<\/code><\/li>\n- Choose a strong password. Accounts are hacked either by outdated WordPress installs or easy password. Stay vigilant and keep your account secure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Done!<\/em> Now login to your WordPress dashboard and have fun.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Permit write-access<\/h3>\n
Write-access will allow WordPress to store files in certain locations, while preventing access\u00a0to modify\/delete\/create files elsewhere. This is a necessary precaution to help keep your account safe. See KB: enabling write-access<\/a>. By default, we recommend enabling write-access to only\u00a0
wp-content\/uploads\/<\/code>. Media files may be\u00a0uploaded through WordPress and files in these directories go through an extra security measure to\u00a0serve all files\u00a0<\/i>as if they were media\u00a0files (prevents hackers from uploading malicious PHP files to these locations).<\/p>\nSiehe auch<\/h2>\n
