Now that you have fully prepped your server it is time to install WordPress!

Open a Browser and go to your domain name.

Click "Create a Config File".

Click "Let's Go".

The interactive WordPress install will guide you through the process. You will need to supply WordPress with some configuration values. It requires the following:

• Database name: This is the database you configured on your Cloud Databases instance
• Database username: This is the username associated with the database
• Database password: This is the username's password
• Database host: This is the database hostname string assigned to your Cloud Database
• Database prefix: This is the database prefix and will not need to be changed for a single site install

In this guide, we're going to leave the Table Prefix as the default. It is a best practice, though, to change it for security reasons. To learn more about security, you can read the Security through Obscurity section of the WordPress codex.

Once you have entered all information, run the install. If you did not write down or copy some of the information into a text file, you can go into the Next Gen Cloud Control Panel to obtain the necessary information.

Click "Submit" and then "Run the Install"

Now we enter some of the more familiar information for a WordPress install, the Site title, Admin Username, Admin Password, Privacy Settings, and Email address. Let's look at each of these:

• Site title: This is the name of your site. This can be changed in the future through the WordPress admin panel.
• Admin Username: This will be used to log into the WordPress admin panel and perform modifications to the site.
• Admin Password: Make sure this is strong, with a combination of numbers, symbols, and lowercase and upper case letters. You don't want someone guessing it.
• Email Address: You will receive a Welcome email from WordPress thanks to our Postfix install during setup.
• Privacy: This determines if search engines may look at your site or not.

Press the "Install WordPress" button.
