I'm currently designin a site for a client who use an it company for there server who want to charge to do anything on it. They have told me that PHP and MYSQL are installed.

 

So I should be able to install WP right?

 

I think I just need to create a table for it.

 

That is the bit I'm struggling at. I have the usernames passwords etc for the server I just don't know how to create the table. anyone know of a simple tutorial or even a template that i could use or could somebody knock one up for me?

 

Thanks in advance

No. You will need access to some sort of control panel to access MySQL. Alternativley you could use something like Navicat but you will still need the username and password for their MySQL installation.

 

Once you have a database with a username and password to access it. You just upload the files and run the installation and WP will do the rest.
