==How to install Wordpress for your account==


Je downloadt het installatiebestand van de [http://wordpress.org wordpress-site].
First you will need to download Wordpress from their website, https://wordpress.org. You will
receive a compressed file (.tar.gz or .zip) that you'll have to extract.


Hierbij krijg je een gecomprimeerd bestand (.tar.gz of .zip) dit pak je uit.
The files that you've extracted will need to be moved to your `www` directory on your shell account.
You can do this by copying them there using Filezilla or any other FTP client.


Je krijgt dan een map met bestanden, deze bestanden (en dus niet de map) kopieer je via filezilla of een ander ftp programma naar je www-map op je shellaccount.
After you've copied those files to your `www` directory, you'll have to go to your account on *your username here*.ulyssis.be. You will then receive a notification telling you your <code>wp-config.php</code> has to be created. The easiest way to do this is by following the wizard, so you can click on "Create a configuration file".


Hierna surf je naar je account, dus naar username.ulyssis.be, je krijgt hier een melding dat je je wp-config.php nog moet aanmaken, het gemakkelijkste is gewoon de wizard blijven volgen, klik dus op: ''Create a Configuration File''.
Go through to the wizard until it prompts you for your database configuration:


Daarna op ''Let's go!'' waarna je gegevens van je database gaat moeten invullen:
*'''Database Name/Databasenaam:''' If you haven't created a MySQL or PostgreSQL database/user on UCC, then you'll have to create it here. The default database is: "username_username".
*'''Username/Gebruikersnaam:''' The name you used during the creation of your database account.
*'''Password/Wachtwoord:''' The password you used during the creation of your database account.
*'''Database Host/Hostnaam:''' This is <code>mysql.ulyssis.org</code> or <code>postgresql.ulyssis.org</code>. It depends on whether you want to use a MySQL or PostgreSQL database.
* You don't need to change the last field.


* '''Database Name: '''als je nog geen mysql database of user hebt aangemaakt op UCC dan moet je dat daar doen. De standaard database is dan: username_username.
After that you can proceed in the wizard where you can fill in some last few details. By then the
* '''User Name: '''dit is de naam die je hebt opgegven tijdens het maken van je mysql account, vaak is deze hetzelfde als je gebruikersnaam bij ULYSSIS.
wizard will do the rest and, congratulations, you have installed Wordpress.
* '''Password: '''het wachtwoord dat je hebt opgegven bij de aanmaak van je mysql account
* '''Database Host: '''dit is <code>mysql.ulyssis.org</code>
* Het laatste veld verander je niet.


Vervolgens krijg je de volgende error: ''Sorry, but I can’t write the <code>wp-config.php</code> file.'' Maar geen paniek, de tekst die WordPress gemaakt heeft is hetgene wat we nodig hebben. Kopieer deze tekst, sla dit op in een bestand <code>wp-config.php</code>. Dit bestand zet je dan weer via Filezilla over naar je www-directory.
==Setting up multiple instances of Wordpress==
 
Klik hierna op ''Run The install.'' Hier kan je dan de laatste gegevens invullen.
 
Daarna zal de installatie zichzelf uitvoeren en voilà, je hebt wordpress geïnstalleerd.


==Setting up multiple instances of Wordpress==
If you want to have multiple instances of a Wordpress site, you will need to create a new folder in
your www-directory on your shell account. Then you'll need a virtual host for this folder, so you'll
have to send us an email asking for this.


If you want to have multiple instances of a Wordpress site then you the create a new folder in your homedir from your shell account. Then you make a new virtual host for this directory in UCC.
After your new virtual host has been configured, you will need to do the same steps that you would
need to do for a regular Wordpress installation, i.e. the steps in the section above.


Name: alias.username.ulyssis.be
You can also use Wordpress' [https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network multisite] option.  
Document root: /home/user/username/new_folder
You can find more help about it [https://wordpress.org/support/forum/multisite here].


From now on you do al the same steps as for a regular wordpress installation.

How to install Wordpress for your account

First you will need to download Wordpress from their website, https://wordpress.org. You will receive a compressed file (.tar.gz or .zip) that you'll have to extract.

The files that you've extracted will need to be moved to your `www` directory on your shell account. You can do this by copying them there using Filezilla or any other FTP client.

After you've copied those files to your `www` directory, you'll have to go to your account on *your username here*.ulyssis.be. You will then receive a notification telling you your wp-config.php has to be created. The easiest way to do this is by following the wizard, so you can click on "Create a configuration file".

Go through to the wizard until it prompts you for your database configuration:

  • Database Name/Databasenaam: If you haven't created a MySQL or PostgreSQL database/user on UCC, then you'll have to create it here. The default database is: "username_username".
  • Username/Gebruikersnaam: The name you used during the creation of your database account.
  • Password/Wachtwoord: The password you used during the creation of your database account.
  • Database Host/Hostnaam: This is mysql.ulyssis.org or postgresql.ulyssis.org. It depends on whether you want to use a MySQL or PostgreSQL database.
  • You don't need to change the last field.

After that you can proceed in the wizard where you can fill in some last few details. By then the wizard will do the rest and, congratulations, you have installed Wordpress.

Setting up multiple instances of Wordpress

If you want to have multiple instances of a Wordpress site, you will need to create a new folder in your www-directory on your shell account. Then you'll need a virtual host for this folder, so you'll have to send us an email asking for this.

After your new virtual host has been configured, you will need to do the same steps that you would need to do for a regular Wordpress installation, i.e. the steps in the section above.

You can also use Wordpress' multisite option. You can find more help about it here.
