• I downloaded WordPress from this site to my PC, and the database from my working on line website (rsmylf.org) from my web hosting company. How do I install WordPress on my home PC and then how do I integrate it with my downloaded database?

  • Hi rsmylf,

    Create a db and import the downloaded db on your pc.

    Place the wordpress files to your server folder.

    Open the file wp-config.php and change the below mentioned.

    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ”);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    Go to db and navigate wp_options table.

    Browse the table finally change the value siteurl and homeurl

    Thank you for your reply. I am new to WordPress, and I am having trouble understanding what you are telling me. I created a folder on my PC which I called “rsmylf Databases” into which I downloaded the database from the remote server. Is this folder the local “server folder” or do I have to do something else to make it the server folder? The download included a folder named “WordPress” which I am assuming contains the information relating to the remote server, not to the local PC. What did you mean by “Place the wordpress files to your server folder”, since they already appear to be there? There is a file called wp-config.php. Is this the file I have to edit to refer to the local server? What is meant by:
    /** MySQL database username */
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’);

    /** MySQL database password */
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ”);

    /** MySQL hostname */
    define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’);

    The downloaded wordpress folder in the database file does not include a wp_options table. Where can I find that?
