Downlaod: At first you need to download wordpress software from its website. You can get it in .zip file or .tar.gz. If you picked up .zip file then you can extract it by using windows compress zipper and if you download .tar.gz you must have to have archive software like Winrar.

Open a database: To open a database you have to http://localhost/phpmyadmin and write your database name under the box (Create new database) and click on create right side. You can keep all he box as default. When you complete the direction you will get a message Database (database_name) has been created.

The user it trying to shift his works from PHP-Nuke to Wordpress and asking help. I was tried to find hardly found some information by using google search by using the keyword Migrate from Php nuke to Wordpress. But did not get any information and later I was trying to install the older version of PHP Nuke to my xampp localhost according to its installation guide. I am trying hard to found some way how to migrate from php nuke to wordpress.

I was hardly looking the way how to install wordpress on the local host server. From the very beginning I was stated to use WAMP (Windows Apache MySQL PHP) as a local server and that was very older version. You easily could understand the wamp will work only for windows but you could collect for MAMP for Mac OS, Lamp for Limux. At this moment it is running WampServer 2.0i which got released on July 11 2009 even you will get the updated version serially. That time I could not work with the older version of WAMP.

Later I understood that I could find more information and could find out xampp which was also an older version from its server. It also had problems too. But when I got 1.6.7 version in my hand I could work very comfortably.

Installation of the free server is very easy. You will not face in pressure or more technical knowledge. But if you use Windows service pack 2 then it could appear a window which will show a message asking Block or unblock. You just have to click on unblock. Later you will do as it wants.

Well, this is not easy to anyone because it needs some knowledge on server maintains. But very easy for them who like to read the instruction inside the web-server or control panel. Yes, you are eagerly waiting to know the site of the free domain hosting website. It is noting but Freehostia is perhaps one the of the popular free web hosting website.

Inside the control panel, you will get the visual information and video tutorials that could help you to solve the problems easily.

First step: register a new domain free and you will get 250MB hosting space and 6GB data transfer. You will get the site as a sub-domain according to your desire name (example.freehostia.com). The auto response server will sent you an ID, User name and password in you email address within 30 minutes that you used during the registration. Log in you email and take the user name and password.
