Getting Wordpress to work with Server2Go

One more topic on Sever2Go and Windows and then I will get back to OpenSolaris.

WordPress is a a popular publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. If you want to get it up and running on a USB stick using Server2Go then read on [see previous post about Server2Go].

1. Download the latest version in this case 2.6.3


2. Extract the files to your USB stick under the htdocs directory i.e. \server2go_a2\htdocs


3. You should now have a directory structure which looks like server2go_a2\htdocs\wordpress


4. You can now follow the instruction on the wordpress site, but they should go like this:
• Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php
• Open wp-config.php in your favorite text editor (Notepad) and edit the top few lines so they look this:

define('DB_NAME', 'server2go');
define('DB_USER', 'root');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');





• Yes username is root and the password is blank.
• I am using the existing database, but you could create a new one.
• try the URL http://localhost:4001/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php and see what happens....
  
  
  


• Well you are on your own now!!!!
