In any case, if you want install wordpress on 000webhost you only have to follow the steps of this post.
If you don’t have access to the Fantastico script you may need to install WordPress manually. This is a easy process and it will take you a few minutes if you follow the next steps:
1) Free Hosting
For this “How To” manual we’re going to use the free hosting service of www.000webhost.com.
2) Create a MySQL Database with an user
WordPress is a CSM system that requires a MySQL Database. We can create the MySQL database using cPanel provided by the free hosting (http://www.000webhost.com). In “Software/Services” clic on “MySQL”.
Following, we have to provide a database name, user and password.
Set the database name, user and password and click on “Create database”.
The database will be created in a few moments.
The host, database and user information will be used later in the wordpress installation process.
3) Download the lastest version of wordpress
http://wordpress.org/download/
4) Unzip the wordpress version and update the “Wp-Config.php” file
Unzip the .zip file which contain the wordpress version download.
Edit “wp-config-sample.php” and change the next lines:
———————————————————————————————————————————–// ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** ///** The name of the database for WordPress */define('DB_NAME', 'database_name_here');
/** MySQL database username */define('DB_USER', 'username_here');
/** MySQL database password */define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password_here');
/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql_host_name’);
————————————————————————————————————————————-
Add the MySQL database name, user and password created before.
Save the file with name “wp-config.php”.
5) Uploading WordPress Files
For uploading the wordpress files we’re going to use the “File Manager” utility included in “cPanel”.
We have to set the wordpress folder (result of the step 4) on the public folder “/public_html” of the free hosting. We use the upload button.
To upload the wordpress folder (result of the step 4) easyly we create a zip file with the files of our wordpress version (step 4).
It’s important compress the files inside of the wordpress folder because it will be more easy to set the files on the “/public” folder of the free hosting.
Click on “upload” inside of “/public” folder for upload the wordpress files. These files are in the zip file generated.
6) Install WP
Now we have uploaded the wordpress files and we have to execute the installtion script of wordpress. To run the install script, go to the following URL:http://yourblog.com/wp-admin/install.php (replace “yourblog.com” with your actual URL.).
Next, in your browser appears the welcome installation page:
Set the requested information and click on “Install WordPress”.
Now you can enjoy your wordpress on free hosting.
