November 17, 201015 yr Hey, This is a slightly different problem to installing wordpress. I get free webhosting from a mates dad who owns loads of servers, and basically I have a folder which I drag files/folders into and then I load up my website and the website is there, pretty simple. Also, I have a mate who runs a server from his home which he can host websites, also for free for me - also the same way Now, I was looking to wordpress as I would love to know how to use it, but im confused about my situation. Does wordpress have to be installed on the server (like php) for me to use it? Or do I download it and put it in a folder? Thanks!
November 17, 201015 yr It has to be installed as it is server-side code (PHP) You'll also need a MySQL database to store your data
November 17, 201015 yr Author Yeah they both have MySQL. Im confused to how I would create some sort of WP blog on my website though, do I have to download anything?

November 19, 201015 yr Just refer to the documentation on their site wordpress.org you will get the installation steps. You can install it in your main directory as well in your sub directory. You will just need a mysql database with the database username and password.
