I finally was able to install WordPress. I had to create a folder in my directory.

It looks like I need another Domain in order to install WordPress. The message says that my Domain need to be empty! I cannot delete all the files I already have …..

In order to install WordPress I need to change from PHP4 to PHP5. Is Nuv compatible with PHP5? If I change to PHP5 I cannot change back to PHP4, so I need to know if Nvu will still work with PHP5 ….

This is very confusing …. I uploaded the WordPress files using Cyberduck, then several people told me to delete all those files and use the One-Click Install on DreamHost. I can’t find that though ….

I’m giving Cyberduck a try …. Looks like it might be uploading all the files with the file/folder hierarchy intact ….

I would like to have WordPress on my website …..

I don’t understand this process:

“all you need to do is upload contents of wordpress folder using ftp program like filezilla in root or folder.”

How do I do that?

I tried uploading WordPress from my hard drive to the DreamHost Shell, but can’t upload folders, only the files within the folders. Can I just go ahead and upload only the files, without the folders, or is it necessary to keep the folders intact when uploading to the Shell … ???

The Instructions for installing WordPress seem very confusing to me ….

I noticed this however:

If you have shell access to your web server, and are comfortable using console-based tools, you may wish to download WordPress directly to your web server using wget (or lynx or another console-based web browser) if you want to avoid FTPing:
wget https://www.ads-software.com/latest.tar.gz
Then unzip the package using:
tar -xzvf latest.tar.gz

I’m not sure I understand how to do this …. My webhost is DreamHost. How can I upload WordPress directly to my DreamHost website … ???
