I activated my WordPress blog today, but I just installed WordPress. A blog without page beautification and optimization looks ugly ·? I think O is really familiar with it? By the way, you can simply record the process of installing WordPress today.

WordPress blog is one of the most popular blog systems in the world. WordPress is free and open-source, perfect CMS content management system, and unique plug-in functions. wp is not only favored by personal independent blogs around the world, I even see that some of the major portals in China are using wp blogs, such as personal blogs of Binet (Blog.Chinabyte.com) Is based entirely on the WordPress blog program. Now, the Chinese version of WordPress is also released on the official WordPress website. The latest version is 2.9.1: download the latest version of WordPress.

I chose WordPress instead of Zblog blog. The biggest reason is that WordPress is a blog platform developed using PHP programs. we can set up a website on any server that supports PHP and MYSQL databases; zblog is a blog program developed by Chinese personnel based on asp + Access. I know more about php.

Now let's get back to the point and take a look at the WordPress installation process:

WordPress installation preparation:

1. register a domain name that you like. it is recommended that you submit a domain name for record filing immediately after registration because you all know it;

2. space: find a good space provider to activate the host. when selecting a host, note that the space must support php4.3 or later,Mysql4.1.2 or higher. mod_rewriteApache mode is supported. if you select a windows IIS host, it will be very troublesome to optimize URLrewrite rewrite for WordPress later. If you have activated a foreign U. S. host, you can skip this step.

3. Database: Create a mysql database. how do I create a mysql database? Different host space providers may have different background management and control platforms, such as cPanel. However, this is a simple and unclear google. Remember to write down your host name (Hostname: hostnameGenerallyLocalhost), Mysql database name(Databasename), Database username (Username)And password (Password). These tools can be used to manage databases.PhpmyadminIt is very convenient to manage.
