Create Wordpress Based Website with MySQL Database

Prerequisites:

• Windows OS
• XAMPP
• Wordpress package
• Some good internet connection

Here we go:

1. Download XAMPP on the website, and adjust the version into the one you prefer
   
2. Install and follow the settings by default (next till the end)
   
3. Finished the installation (don’t check the box for start the control panel), get a restart for your machine, so XAMPP will have fresh start next (actually, restarting is not that necessary, but why not?)
   
4. Upon booting up, search for XAMPP and ALWAYS run it as administrator to let it work properly
   
5. Start two services that we need it for later, those are Apache and MySQL
   
6. Download wordpress package and extract the package then move the folder to htdocs of XAMPP
   
7. Restart Apache’s service
   
8. Open a browser, and type: localhost/wordpress, then the introductory will begin
   
9. Fill the database credentials and else
   
10. If you encountering database problem e.g., database not found; create a new database on localhost/phpmyadmin with the same credential you used when running setup from wordpress
    
    
11. Run the setup, type the username and else
    
12. Finish the setup
    
13. Run the web by accessing: localhost/wordpress
    
14. And if you want further costumization, go for: localhost/wordpress/wp-admin, then you can continue
    
15. Voila!👏
