Running the installation script

The final step in the installation procedure for WordPress is connecting

the WordPress software you uploaded to the MySQL database. Follow
these steps:

1. Type the URL of your Web site into the address bar in your
Web browser.

If you chose to install WordPress in a different folder from the root

directory of your account, make sure you indicate that in the URL for
the install script. For example, if you transferred the WordPress soft-
ware files to the /blog folder, for example, you point your browser to
the following URL to run the installation: http://yourdomain.com/
blog/wp-admin/install.php. If WordPress is in the root directory,
use the following URL to run the installation: http://yourdomain.com/
wp-admin/install.php (where yourdomain is your domain name).

Assuming that you did everything correctly (see Table 4-1 for help with
common installation problems).
