5-Minute installation?

PHP is not meant to run in Firefox.

You need to get web hosting space which supports PHP and MySQL.

If you don’t want to worry about hosting your own site, try WordPress.COM instead. You can get started with a free blog there.

If PHP is not meant to run in Firefox, please explain the following instructions, especially a and c; if it didn’t work in a, why would it work in c, and how do you get install.php to work ?

2.Open wp-admin/install.php in your browser. It will take you through the process to set up a wp-config.php file with your database connection details.

a.If for some reason this doesn’t work, don’t worry. It doesn’t work on all web hosts. Open up wp-config-sample.php with a text editor like WordPad or similar and fill in your database connection details.
b.Save the file as wp-config.php and upload it.
c.Open wp-admin/install.php in your browser.

That is because you have uploaded wordpress files and folders on a server host account and then you opening the install program.
The server has php and mysql installed.

Php is server language and wordpress use php.

We use a browser to access the files and folders on server and server process the request in php and then send html to browser browser does not open php files.

It might not work in ‘a’ because the server might not have write permissions to the webroot folder and thus cannot create the wp-config.php file for you. Without the database information, it cannot proceed.

So once you have manually put in the database information in steps ‘a’ and ‘b’, ‘c’ will work.

To get install.php to work, WordPress must be on a web server with MySQL and PHP running.
