Setting up a WordPress Website on C Panel Server

0:01 Okay, so I just set up the C panel server so it's fresh. There's nothing on it. And what I want to do is I'm going to put a WordPress website on here for my buddy Travis.
0:14 And so this is essentially a super easy thing to do. One of the reasons I love C panel so much is that it's very intuitive and it's not difficult to use in any way.
0:27 The first thing I need to do though is I need to make sure that I've got the right version of pH.
0:34 P on here. Some of the versions of PHP have been depreciated and they still load up when you create a C panel server by default.
0:46 So what you've got to do is you've got to go. And change that. And so what I want to do.
0:54 And then I'll see that option here for some reason. I want to actually change the version of PHP that this thing is.
1:07 And to do that, typically I have a multi PHP manager in here. That allows me to do that. Oh, here it is.
1:16 Okay. So what I'm going to do is go to multi. I want to run the latest version, which is 8.1.
1:32 So I'll go ahead and select this server and I will. Ia, and click apply. Now it automatically changes the version.
1:46 The reason that you want to change the version to PHP before you install WordPress is WordPress does not like. Switching PHP versions while it's live.
1:59 There's been a couple of times where I've broken WordPress trying to change PHP versions without using a test site. All I have is a live site.
2:09 It can, it can definitely break because plugins might not be compatible. It stores log files in a different directory, so it easily breaks.
2:21 So now I can go since I'm, I'm on 8.1. Now I can go back into my tools, make sure that I'm running 8.1 by going into server information.
2:37 And, Everything is up and running. Everything looks good here. Now I'll go into my WP toolkit. And this is the fastest easiest way to make, I can install WordPress you can you can even think of.
3:01 All you need to do is click install WordPress. And give it a title. And this is gonna be quantum. Integrity solutions.
3:27 And select the direct. I just want it to be the regular directory. We will do a plugin theme set. Actually, I'm not going to do this.
3:41 I could. I don't want to. I just want to install regular WordPress. You've got a password here. We're going to regenerate a new one.
3:52 But I'm also going to copy this because I'm going to log in and change it right away. And then when you're done.
4:00 And then go ahead and click. The install button. And now it's installing. That'll run through the thing that it does.
4:16 And you will have a WordPress website that. That you can then quickly log into. This is another reason I love C panels at it makes so easy to just install technology.
4:30 Okay so the install is complete. Now what I'll do is I'll go ahead and save the login and then we'll come back to this and I'm ready to make some changes.
