Pre-requisite: Completed “How-to: Setup a free web hosting“

Step 1: Deploy WordPress

1. Browse to http://panel.byethost.com/
2. Login with your Cpanel Username and Cpanel Password
3. Click the link - “Automatic Installer”
4. Click the button - “Proceed”
5. Click the WordPress link - “Click Here >>”
6. Delete the text “WordPress” from the textbox
7. Click the button - “Install”

Step 2: Using the File Manager

1. Return to your Cpanel Homepage
2. Click the link - “File Manager”
3. Click the link - “websitename.byethost17.com”
4. Click the link - “htdocs”

Check point: Scroll down… you should see two files, “index.html” and “index.php”

Step 3: Delete index.html

Delete the file - “index.html”
To delete, tick the checkbox to the left of index.html. Then, click the delete button located near the top-right of the page.

We’re deleting index.html as it is blocking WordPress’s index.php from being the site’s default load page.

Step 4: Create wp-config.php

Rename the file “wp-config-sample.php” to “wp-config.php”
To rename, tick the checkbox to the left of “wp-config-sample.php”. Then, click the rename button located near the top-right of the page. Type in the new name “wp-config.php”. Finally, click the Green-Tick icon to save followed by the Blue-Arrow icon to return to htdocs.

Edit “wp-config.php”
To edit, click the Edit link of “wp-config.php”.
Fill in your SQL DB Name, SQL Username, SQL Password and SQL Host Name.

define(’DB_NAME’, ‘b17_863232_mydatabase’);
define(’DB_USER’, ‘b17_863232′);
define(’DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password07’);
define(’DB_HOST’, ’sql2.byethost17.com’);

Save “wp-config.php” by clicking the “Blue-Diskette” icon.

Step 5: Install WordPress (finally!)

1. Browse to your URL (e.g. http://pengkong.byethost17.com)
2. Click the link “install.php”
3. Click the link “First Step >>”
4. Enter a blog name and your email
5. Click the button “Continue to Second Step >>”
6. Jot down your WordPress Username and Password

Congratz! You’ve successfully installed WordPress!

The fun has just begun…
