How to Install Wordpress on IIS

Before you start this tutorial you must already have IIS installed, as well as PHP and mySQL setup on the server.

Step 1:
Open SQL Command Line by going to the start menu and searching for it.

Step 2.
Login into mySQL by entering your password and then enter the command "Create Database Wordpress"

Step 3.
 Go to
http://en-ca.wordpress.org/download/ 
and download the latest version of Wordpress. When you download this it will come down as a zipped folder which you must extract and rename to "Wordpress". Then move this folder to the wwwroot of inetpub (iis).

Step 4.
Open Notepad from the start menu by running it as administrator and fill in your mysql username, password, and database name. In this tutorial I used "wordpress" as my database name, "w0156394" as my username, and "changeme123" as my password.

Step 5.
Go to your web browser and enter your ip address (if you are doing this locally you can just enter localhost) followed by the word "wordpress". Ex. "172.16.144.58/wordpress". this redirects you to a setup page.

Step 6.
Enter your personal information and preferred site details.

Step 7.
Once you have filled in the necessary information you can login to your site using the username and password you set up and your site back-end will look like this.

Congrats you now have a wordpress site!
