| Server Requirements for Wordpress |
1. Server requirements for Wordpress
To run a Wordpress on your server, you need PHP version 4.3 or greater and MySQL version 4.0 or greater. Apache mod_rewrite module is optional for clean URIs (aka. Permalinks). That’s all! Wordpress could run on any server that supports PHP and MySQL, but Apache or Litespeed is recommended as the most robust and featureful server.

2. Wordpress installation guide
Here is a simple tutorial for you to build your own Wordpress site.
(a) First of all, if you haven’t got a copy of Wordpress, you need to download the package, and unzip it.
(b) You should create a database for Wordpress on your web server. A MySQL user to access and modify it with all privileges is also required.
(c) Upload the unzipped Wordpress files to your web server with your favorite FTP client.
(d) Open IE, Firefox, or any other web browser as you like, locate to your wordpress directory, follow the step-by-step install wizard. If nothing weird occurs (unless you’re especially unlucky?), all will be done within 5 minutes.
(e) Come on, you are a webmaster now!
