Downloading and Installing WordPress

To install WordPress using WebMatrix Beta, open WebMatrix. Then on the WebMatrix Beta Quick Start page, click Site from Web Gallery.

When the Site from Web Gallery wizard opens, you will see a wide selection of applications to choose from. Click WordPress, and then click Next.

If you would like to use a local installation of MySQL on your computer, choose Yes, install it on my machine and then click Next. To use a remote instance of MySQL server, choose No, use a remote server.

If you are prompted to enter the root password for the MySQL database engine, you will need to enter a password and then click Next.

  • Enter the name of the database for your WordPress application. You can choose any name for your database, but you might want to try something as simple as 'wordpress' if you are creating your first WordPress site on your local computer.
  • Enter a database user name and password for the database that you are creating. This is not the root password that you entered earlier when you installed MySQL; the WordPress application will use this account to access the information for the database that WebMatrix will create for your WordPress application.
  • Enter the administrator name and password for your database server. If you install MySQL on your local computer, you'll need to specify the MySQL root user name and password that you entered.
