How to install WordPress 3.3 on Ubuntu Part 5:

Create database and install WordPress

Now everything is ok and we can start installing WordPress.

Open a browser and navigate to "http://localhost/wordpress", you can now see the first page of wordpress installation. Before we continue we have to create a database so WordPress can save your site contents. To do that, open a new browser and navigate to "http://localhost/phpmyadmin". You should now be able to see PhpMyAdmin login page. For username enter "root" and for password enter (the password you selected when we install PhpMyAdmin)

Ok now we are ready to create a new empty database:

Click on "Databases" and then under the "Create new Database" type a name for the database and click Create. you should get a message telling you that database has been created.

Go back to wordpress installation browser and click on "Create a Configuration File" and then click on "Let’s Go"

Now you should enter the information that wordpress needs in order to connect with MySQL.

Database Name: (the name you enter when you create the database with PhpMyAdmin)

User Name: "root"

Password: (the password you enter for MySQL root user when you were installing lamp)

Database Host: "localhost"

Leave everything else as it is and click on "Submit"

For the next step you need to enter your website name, the administrator username and password(you will need that in order to connect to WordPress’s control panel) and your email and the click "Install WordPress".

Congratulations now you have your own WordPress site on your own local Server
