I Hate the World...I can't Install WordPress

Ok, so I don't *really* hate the world...or even anyone really, but I hate that I can't install WordPress...can someone help me out? Thanks.

 

whats your problem man. ?
Calm down

From your signature, i can see you are a problogger

 

Yeah a problogger on FREE stuff that doesn't require a genius to set it up.

I'm attempting to move my Blogger over to WordPress.

Ok, so...I've got hosting, I've got WordPress downloaded and unzipped. I went to their 5-minute install...for the last hour. LOL I feel like an idiot.

My hosting is free, but no ads. I have 15GB, with 50GB bandwidth. I have FTP access. I tried configuring that to no avail. I just have no idea what I'm doing, but I want to learn.

Know of any helpful step by steps? I'm Googling.

I should have just sprang for one of WordPress' hosting partners with that one-click install, but I'm broke and cheap.

 

You need mysql to run wordpress bro.

 

And MySQL skills as well probably, huh? *smacks self* You know, 7 bucks a month for a one-click install isn't bad...I may just have to wait. I do have MySQL in my package...and the other requirements listed on the WP site. I'm going to have to study up on how to use them.

 

if you sign up with bluehost for domain and hosting wordpress is free and you just have to log in. A lot easier!

 

I think InsaneGB.com (free hosting) offer Fantastico (one click install of WordPress), not sure though, I know they have cPanel...

 

Wow, yeah...their package is hard to beat. Hmmm.....

 

dont you have fantastico ?

OR hire some freelancer

 

I'm checking it out right now! It lists Fantastico on the hope page under free signup. *signing up* Nothing to lose, it's free, right. Are you pretending to study like I am pretending to work? I'm so going to get fired. LOL

One more question...does WordPress.org have the import feature for Blogger posts like WordPress.com?

Rep added to all...thanks for your help!!!

 

Bluehost comes with fantastico.

PM me and I'll hook you up with some extras to go along with it.

 

I have world press and it was an easy 1 click install...used the fantastico that comes with the cpanel.

Although I know your pain since it says there is an upgrade available and I have no clue how to do it and won't even attempt it...lol

 

Dun dun dun...this move is complete and I've already started importing my posts. Thanks a million to everyone who helped.

 

If you sign up with a web hosting like Bluehost (check link in sig), there is a one-click install feature where you can install WordPress in literally one click. Signing up with a free host is a very bad idea, especially for a blog.

 

I got DowntownHost and they have Fantastico too. Wordpress was a breeze to install.

 

Bluehost has very reasonable prices...unless you have no money like me...and I mean literally...no money. So a free host is the most feasible choice right now. It *could* be a bad idea if one is not smart about backing up their files, etc. I'll just have to be careful.

 

No money at all? Then how do you eat? Where do you live? You have to have SOME money.

 

I spend all my money on food, a place to live, etc. I don't have surplus right now...that's the whole point of attempting to make money online. It would be nice to go out and have fun once in a while....or buy things online.

 

ARGH!!! I hate f*cking WordPress. Everything is a f*cking act of Congress to implement. I can't get Adsense on it. I don't have any of my widgets on it yet...because well, act of Congress. Maybe non-technical idiots like me should just stick to Blogger...everything is so much easier there.

ARGH!! I'm mad and frustrated!!!

 

You can try Adsense-Ready Wordpress themes.
