what is web content management system ?

A web content management system (WCMS) is a software system that

provides website authoring, collaboration, and administration tools designed to allow

users with little knowledge of web programming languages or markup languages to

create and manage website content with relative ease.

Most systems use a content repository or a database to store page

content, metadata, and other information assets that might be needed by the system.

A WCMS allows non-technical users to make changes to a website with little training.

A WCMS typically requires a systems administrator and/or a web developer to set up

and add features, but it is primarily a website maintenance tool for non-technical staff.

How to Install WordPress Manually

In order to install WordPress, firstly, you will need to download the latest version of WordPress package from WordPress.org, but before you do it, make sure your host has the the latest version of php and SQL, so you know that they are compatible. If not, you can always contact your host, and ask them to upgrade the php version and SQL to the latest.Now, if you do not have File Transfer Portal or FTP software installed, you need to download one. The most popular one is Filzilla; you need to make sure to download the Client version, not the Server version. After you have installed and have it running, you will notice that it basically requires few pieces of information, such as Host, Username and Password. You can create the account information by accessing to your hosting company’s website. After you have the information, you can simply enter them and then hit Quick connect.

After you are connected, you might need to browse to your root directory of the domain. It really depends on with host company you are with. Most hosting companies’ root directory is behind public_html, but few hosting companies will be in httpdocs or they simply have a folder created that is named after your domain name.Now, you need to unzip the WordPress package from WordPress.org, and then drag all unzipped files over to the root directory of you domain. After that, you just let it finishing the transfer. In the meanwhile, you can head back to your hosting company’s website, and create a database for your WordPress. On most hosting companies’ dashboard or control panel, they will have a section that is for SQL database, there you can create database name, username and password. One thing that you need to make sure is you need to grant all permission for the database username.

After the files transfer finished, you can open your browser, and then type in your domain url, if everything is correct, a message will appear that saying you need to create a configuration file.

You can go ahead, and click “Create a Configuration File” button. After that, a welcome message board will appear. It basically tells you that you need to have database name, username and password in order to install WordPress.

You might be able to find it out in SQL database section or simply contact your host’s support team. Also for Table Prefix, it is best to change it in to something other than the default “wp_”, it can be anything you want. Changing table prefix can actually improve the security of your WordPress site.
