How to install Wordpress on your VPS?

WordPress is a content management system developed in PHP that uses a MySQL database. In this tutorial, we will see how to install this CMS on our web hosting.

Requirements

  • Own a web hosting,
  • Have a FTP access (ex : FileZilla),
  • Have a MySQL database

WordPress installation

The installation of the CMS is very fast thanks to the installation wizard:

  • Download the last version of Wordpress
  • Proceed to the extraction of the downloaded ZIP archive
  • Transfer the files from the wordpress folder directly to the public_html folder of your FTP
  • Once the files have been transferred, go to your site using your web browser (e.g. webname.mtxserv.com)
  • Click on Let's go !
  • Enter the information from the MySQL database. This information is available in the mTxServ management panel and has also been sent to you by e-mail.

Replace XXXXX with your login information:

Nom de la base de données : XXXXX_sql
Identifiant : w_XXXXX
Mot de passe : votre mot de passe sql
Adresse de la base de données : sql.mtxserv.com
Préfixe des tables : wp_

  • Si nous n'avez pas fait d'erreur dans vos identifiants MySQL, vous devriez voir le message La connexion à la base de données c'est bien faite. Dans le cas contraire, vérifiez vos informations MySQL que vous avez entrez dans l’étape précédente.

  • Click on Launch the installation

  • Enter your site information and click on Install WordPress.

Congratulations you have successfully installed WordPress, now you just have to configure it as you wish ;)
