When you have uploaded the data on your blog/website all the url has been formed as something like http://localhost/directory, but your web domain that you have bought (http://www.letbd.com). And if you upload the database on your web database then all the url will follow the http://localhost/directory url.

What you have to do? Open your database with any editing software such (WordPad, Notepad, dreamweaver or other editing software). I prefer WordPad because it don’t take much time to open any large size database. Now, write your previous url (http://localhost/directory) into the find box and write (http://www.letbd.com) into the replace box. Later click on the replace all. Now, all the url have been changed as your new expected url. Update the edited database on your website.

This is the complete way how to move your wordpress blog to a new web hosting. You can change it sub-domain or any directory.

1. Download Worpress software
2. Open a database
3. Create username and password and
4. follow the instruction below

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.

Create username and password: you can create a user name and password so that you could understand that how to user it. You can avoid it too. To crate username and password you have to go to Privileges under that database you created. You will see Users having access to “database_name “. Click on the icon below ‘Action’. And write you username and password right side box and keep host name ‘localhost’.

Now, copy the extracted folder name ‘wordpress’ and paste it inside your local root folder. Here my local root folder is C:\xampp\htdocs, so your local url will be http://localhost/wodpress. In your browser address box just write the address. You will get a page where you will see ‘Create a Configuration File’

>> Click on ‘Create a Configuration File’ and you will get some thin like this. Don’t spend time and Click on ‘Let’s go!’ below.

Fill the boxes with database name, user name and password and click on ‘submit’. If you fill correctly then you get a page with ‘Run the install’ button.

In the next page you will be showed an auto generated password and you user name will be admin. Copy the password and click on the ‘login’ with that password.

You can install wordpress by editing you wp-config.php file as usual and that time you will be pushed on the Welcome page directly.

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.
