DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS

=====================

Login to MySQL.

# mysql -u root -p

To get the database name,

mysql> show databases;

To know the database user,

mysql> SELECT user FROM mysql.user;

Changing password for database user,

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'DATABASE USER'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('NEW USER PASSWORD');

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

mysql> quit;

# mysql -u <DATABASE USER> -p

Download Wordpress from this link https://wordpress.org/latest.zip

Extract the zip file using 7-zip.

Rename the wordpress folder to blog.

Upload the folder named blog to your hosting account using FTP. You must upload it into the public_html folder.

Uploading thousands of files using FileZilla FTP client is too slow. I will change method.

# cd /home/turritopsis-dohrnii-teo-en-ming/

# cd public_html/

# wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

# tar xfvz latest.tar.gz

# mv wordpress/ blog

# cd blog/

# mv wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php

# nano wp-config.php

/** 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' );

# chown -R turritopsis-dohrnii-teo-en-ming:turritopsis-dohrnii-teo-en-ming blog

# chown turritopsis-dohrnii-teo-en-ming:turritopsis-dohrnii-teo-en-ming latest.tar.gz
