thanks a million for offering help. I have just looked at the link you provided and i see that i need the following to enter into the doc.
Database Name
Database Name used by WordPress
Database Username
Username used to access Database
Database Password
Password used by Username to access Database
Database Host
The hostname of your Database Server
I am confused because i havent created any type of database.
you’ll have to create one. check with your hosting provider for instructions on how to do that. it should be somewhere in their documentation.
hosting provider as in web hosting? or my internet provider?
Your web host. Not your provider.
I am so sorry if this is a retarded question but i dont have a web host. I dont have a domain or my own website. I just wanted to install this and try to create a website. I dont have anything in place yet. I am confused haha.
WordPress is a sever based program. It basically won’t work without a host or server. While you can run a server on your home computer to build a WordPress site and test it, this sound a little beyond your current knowledge.
You might try WordPress.com as it is a lot easier there.
If you want to learn how to use wordpress before you invest any money in domain name and host account you install a wamp server on your PC and install wordpress locally that only can see and learn wordpess.
I have tutorial videos on how to use admin panel and a article and videos on how to install wamp server and wordpress on your PC.
If still have questions will be glad to help you.
Thanks for the replies and help. Will i be able to build websites at wordpress.com?
To use wordpress.org i need a domain name and hosting right?
Yes if you are going host online or use a wamp if you want to learn.
thanks govpatel i will get myself a domain and some hosting
