In this chapter you are going to learn how to configure FileZilla (a FTP client) for uploading our files to the hosting and what you have to do to create a database, needed for store our posts, plugins and so on.

To create our database, which will contain all of our posts, etc. You don’t have to design it, just create it… Our wordpress (which we have downloaded it before) will do all things for us.

Once you are log in your account, go to manage account (in the rightside) and save the username. It will be something like aXXXXXXX, where XXXXXXX are seven numbers. This will be needed later, because it’s the intern username.

Then, click on Access cPanel.

A prompt will appear, asking for your username and password: Your username is the one which you have just saved it, and password is the one which you have signed in at the very first. A screen like the following one will appear:

Now it’s time to learn how to configure our FTP. This is a basic step in order to upload our wordpress, plugins and so on to our hosting. Otherwise, we will not be able to do anything of this.

So, search in the panel for FTP accounts and click it. You will see a picture like the following one:

The information you need is summed up in Configure FTP Client botton. You can appreciate it in the image below, so, click on tyhe botton for further details about how to manage your FTP account. You will see an image like this:

Focus on the information in the bottom of the page, where you can see Manual Settings. It’s going to be better to learn how to configure a FTP client than do it automathic as it’s not very complicated and could be useful later. Save this information (FTP username, FTP server, FTP server port, SFTP server port).

In order to upload our wordpress, which will be the next step, we need a FTP client installed on our computer. You can use the one you like most, but for it easy configuration I strongly recommend to use FileZilla. You can do it in all FTP clients, but I’ll show you how to configure your FTP through FileZilla. You can download it here.

Open Filezilla client and click: File->Site manager… (or what’s the same, Ctrl + S).

Now we are going to add a quick botton to connect to our hosting in order to be able to upload whatever we want to our blog in just a few seconds. Let’s configure it:

1. Click new site botton.
2. Write down a name. For instance, your blog name.
3. In Host,you must write your FTP server. Remember that we have saved it before. You must write your FTP server which appears in Manual Settings when you go to configure FTP account in your cPanel.
4. Port can be left empty. If your hosting told you a FTP server port different of 22, you must change this. This is not our case, so if you are in 000webhosting, ignore this step and leave Port empty.

1. Change your logontype from anonymous to normal.
2. Fill user gap with your FTP username provided by your hosting (remember, Manual Settings and so on).
3. Fill password gap with your password. It is the one which you have signed in your hosting at the very first.
4. Other things must be left empty.
5. Click OK.

Now, it’s time to upload our wordpress, so take the following information seriously

In FileZilla client click on File -> Site manager…

Select your own wordpress site (we have just configured it) and click on connect.

WOW! Here is our hosting! Let’s see the folders! hehe

The most important folder is public_html. We will use it for our management.

So, you can appreciate that on the leftside we’ve got our PC folders, and that in the rightside, we’ve got some folders created by default for our hosting.

We have to drag the content of our wordpress folder (that we have unzipped at the very first of this guide) and release it in public_html folder. In other words, copy the content of our wordpress folder to public_html folder. It will take few minuts to copy all files to public_html.

Note: Do not delete the files already created in public_html or it will not work!!!

Let’s try to access to our blog! Open a new tab in firefox and go to your blog. The link must be something like that:

http://YourOwnWordpress.890m.com

If you don’t remember which is your domain (I hope you don’t have this problem…¬¬’ haha), just log in your hosting and you will see it under domain, in manage accounts. But, oh my fucking god, if you try to access to your site, you will see a picture like the following one:

Let me explain what is wp-config.php file. This is a PHP file that wordpress use to know which is the DataBase where all pages, post… Will be stored. That’s it, we have to configured it!
