My pleasure Dave. And I appreciate the hat tip when it hits :) I was VERY lucky to find this when I first attempted a set up of the self hosted WP. I was about 2 tries from giving up and letting the domain name sit unused! I’d hate to see anyone not get their dream going because something in the editing of that one file just doesn’t click for them!

I’ll need to test this first, which should be sometime in the next week, then I’m going to Hat Tip you for it!

Really appreciate you poking around in these articles. There’s so much to know, no chance I can get everything right first time.

As I told you on Twitter, I use the install script to fix the wp-config.php. Once everything has uploaded to go http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php if you installed it as top level and not in a sub-folder. It will give you a whoops and ask for all the info (this is where you will need your database details you wrote down as well as the host name which is USUALLY localhost). Fill all that in, and it does the rest and you move on the the rest of in admin install.

I too prefer the manual install but had a heck of a time getting my config file right… I found this somewhere in the official install documents and was up and running in no time.

I should probably reword that, it’s simple, like this:

http://youwebsitename.com/

Provided that’s where you put the WordPress files.

WordPress should install itself from there.
