This brief instruction is to conform the ref book <Beginning Wordpress 3> and the online munal of WP official site.
- download zip archives from http://wordpress.org/download/;
- create a database in phpMyAdmin, for mySQL, with name of 'wordpress';
- create a user(mine is 'wordpress', please note that the host field should be 'localhost') only has privileges on this database, grant it all the possible permissions;
- unfold the zip file, and rename wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php, open it in text editor, change the constants(according to http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php), and generate security keys with the online service provided by wordpress site(https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/);
- copy the whole wordpress folder to C:\xampp\htdocs\;
- under C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content, create a folder named 'languages', under \wp-include is also valid, but the former is preferred since WP will firstly find it there;
- according to http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_in_Your_Language and http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language, find out the link for Hong Kong language .mo and .po files:http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress-i18n/zh_HK/ and http://me.abelcheung.org/devel/wordpress-hong-kong-translation/, put them under \wp-content\languages\,
- in browser, go to localhost\wordpress\, and localhost\wordpress\wp-admin\install.php is loaded.
- the following steps is similar to the 'set configuration file' section in http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress, just fill in the crrospending data, and then forward to the login page as administrator, and meanwhile, the front page is available.
Finally, the wp-config.php comes to be:
<?php
/**
* The base configurations of the WordPress.
*
* This file has the following configurations: MySQL settings, Table Prefix,
* Secret Keys, WordPress Language, and ABSPATH. You can find more information
* by visiting {@link http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php Editing
* wp-config.php} Codex page. You can get the MySQL settings from your web host.
*
* This file is used by the wp-config.php creation script during the
* installation. You don't have to use the web site, you can just copy this file
* to "wp-config.php" and fill in the values.
