Hi all I am new to wordpress and I am following 5 min. installation method and stoped at 5th step . As I want to install it on my local machine that is localhost , where do I have to put all the files and sub directory of wordpress folder so that I can do the installation .
if any one have idea about editing wp-config.php for localhost please share with me .
You do need to firstly install WAMP or LAMP which are both used as local web servers.
During the installation of WAMP, it asks you to name a folder to place all the web services in. e.g. c:\server
Once you do that you can put the files in the WordPress zip file into a folder c:\server\www
Once you run the WAMP server you can use your browser to navigate to your WordPress site.
Here is an article about how to install WordPress
All you need to do is place all the contents of the Wordpress directory under a directory (with the name of your project, for example) on the root of your webserver. This directory will depend on your system. Eg. under Ubuntu, and using Apache the default is /var/www.
The essential fields of your wp-config.php that you have to fill in are
DB_NAME
DB_USER
DB_PASSWORD
DB_HOST (this is localhost)
That you have to configure to match your DB configuration.
you must install a program like wamp server and copy wordpress directory in wamp/www then create a database and fill wp-config.php
for fill username in wp-config use 'root' and for password use ' ' (empty).

Every time I'm trying to install wordpress from the address: localhost/wordpress
It's showing the "Parent Directory"
Apache/2.4.29 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.2l PHP/7.1.11 Server at localhost Port 80.
Can anybody give me a solution?
From your screenshot, it looks like you have no files in your localhost/wordpress directory. You can follow the steps on this Codex page - https://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress - to guide you through the install process. You first need to download and unzip the WordPress files from https://wordpress.org/download/ into your local folder. You also need to have PHP installed locally, set up a database and a user, and edit your wp-config.php file before you can access localhost/wordpress to run the install. It's all detailed in that Codex page.
Configuration used: ubuntu server 14.04, php-fps, nginx, mysql 5.6 & latest wordpress.
Under the webserver(nginx)
Configured the nginx absolute path as /var/www/html/wordpress/
but Under the wordpress directory:
the style sheets and image file types do not load(404 err) because they are looking for the path http://localhost/wordpress/wp-include & http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content .
As this wordpress directory is missing.
hence we had to create one more directory called "wordpress" and give the soft links to the wp-include & wp-content under this directory.
This being a temporary fix. where exactly do i need to make the changes.
I think that you should modify the site_url in the table in your database, where your site_url has been stored in the wp_option table. It might be http://localhost/your-site/ change it to http://localhost/wordpress/
Hope this helps...
Everything was going so well: installed XAMPP on Mac (OS 10.10.2). Installed Bitnami WordPress module. Imported existing WordPress site (this site is already live). Then imported/installed the theme I want to modify. All good up to that point.
Now I want to create a child theme. Following the instructions from Themify, which are great. BUT: I can't open the htdocs directory within the wordpress dir that was installed by the Bitnami module. No permissions.
There's a help page, but it's not helping me. Reason 1: I open FileZilla, I FTP to localhost, but the wordpress dir is nowhere to be found there. Reason 2: I try to follow their sudo chown instructions but the path is not valid for me. I tried:
$ sudo chown daemon:daemon Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress/htdocs
... but no luck. "No such file or directory." I can find this folder in the Finder (see screencap), but I can't seem to access it from the command line. (Is that because XAMPP is in the Applications directory?)
In case it's not obvious, I am doing all this to muck around with my child theme offline. But I can't get my child theme folder into the wp-content/themes folder, because I can't FTP or access the folder directly through the Finder.
I was able to change permissions through the Mac "Get Info" panel. Doh!!
"Get Info" panel, unlocked
See screencap.
Try and put a Leading slash at the front of the directory listing so run this instead:
sudo chown daemon:daemon /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress/htdocs
Just go to /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/mysite/wp-content/themes/your-child theme and set permission of your child theme folder to writable to everyone.
I'm attempting to create Drupal Multisite. Currently lets say we have below Live Sites in the form
abc.example.com
def.example.com
xyz.example.com
All the Sites are present on the Same server (Nginx Server) in the directories
/var/www/vhosts/abc.example.com/httpdocs
/var/www/vhosts/def.example.com/httpdocs
/var/www/vhosts/xyz.example.com/httpdocs
Now we have to create Blogs for each Live Site, we are looking into Drupal Mutlisite Architecture for the same, so all Sites should point to same codebase, which would ease our maintenance tasks.
We have currently created symlinks for to main/default domain Site directory which is installed at blogs.example.com so symlink is created as
ln -s /var/www/vhosts/blogs.example.com/httpdocs/ /var/www/vhosts/xyz.example.com/httpdocs/blog
And created a folder under sites as sites/xyz.example.com.blog
But when we open the URL in browser we get "No input file Specified"
We are not sure if the above error is due to some issue in .htaccess, also we are consfused where to add htacess configuration related to MutliSite.
Any help would be appreciated.
As explained here your symbolic link shall be under /var/www/vhosts/blogs.example.com/httpdocs as the installed directory as well as the created sites folder. Try also to remove the end slash on httpdocs/ on your symbolic link:
ln -s /var/www/vhosts/blogs.example.com/httpdocs/ /var/www/vhosts/xyz.example.com/httpdocs/blog
to httpdocs only, like so:
ln -s /var/www/vhosts/blogs.example.com/httpdocs blog
or do it in 2 lines command:
cd /var/www/vhosts/blogs.example.com/httpdocs
ln -s . blog
Make sure also that CNAME of both xyz.example.com and blogs.example.com are the same and that the xyz.example.com is set as ServerAlias to blogs.example.com on your vhost. So you should get your site when point your browser to http://xyz.example.com/blog.
Once you have login to your new site as the admin, check or put the correct path for Public file system path under the following admin menu to sites/xyz.example.com.blog/files:
Home » Administration » Configuration » Media » File System
I created php files for my plugin and added them to myplugin folder. Then I zipped myplugin folder as myplugin.zip. In Admin Panel of Wordpress I wanted to install my plugin to wordpress. I choosed this zip file and clicked to Install "Now button". Then Wordpress gave an error:
Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2013/05. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
What is the problem and how can I solve it? My OS is Linux and I use XAMPP server in my machine.
In your terminal, navigate to the wp-content folder and then run:
chmod -R 0744 plugins
That will set the folder and its subfolders to read/write/execute for you and read for everyone else.
Edit As suggested in the comments, check this out: codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
Alternatively you can just unzip them yourself and save them into this folder:
/wp-content/plugins/name-of-theplugin
Then you can just activate the plugin from the admin page.
I am not entirely familiar with XAMPP but it should be run as a user. Most likely your own windows account. You may try this:
Select the folder wp-content and right click -> properties. then go to Security Tab. There check to see if the User (i.e. you) has write+ modify permission.
Check what is XAMPP server running as, the folder above must have the permissions for the same user.
Double check the "general" tab on the wp-content folder and check the "Attributes" section. Make sure "Read Only is unchecked. If you are changing it, windows will prompt for whether to apply to subfolder. Say "yes".
. Or run XAMPP at Administrator and skip the above step .(assuming it is not production / public internet facing server).
I had this problem yesterday, I solved it by uninstalling the Wordpress module and installing it again as root from the terminal.
I thought if I run the installation wizard as I was logged as root was enough, but it wasn't.
These are the steps for MacOS:
Uninstall wordpress module. Be sure the folder is empty.
Mount the wordpress disk image
cd /volumes/nameOfWordpressModule image
sudo bitnami wordpress module.app/Contents/MacOS/installerbuilder.sh
I recommend you to list the items so you can write exactly the name of the image and app.
Hope it helps!
navigate to your main project folder and run the following:
chmod -R 0777 wp-content
in case of MAC run
sudo chmod -R 777 /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/
