  • Hello I have a question what is the alternative software to install word press on iIs Since web platform is no longer working is there any software out there that like that thanks

  • Note that WebPI 5.1 does not install WP correctly, so you have to use WebPI 5.0

  • I followed your directions and got a 404 error when I clicked to launch wordpresss? should i not leave the website name blank?

  • Thank you very much for this very clear instructional video. I'm going to make an intranet using WordPress. Should employees know the IP to be connected or I can make a contextual domain name? -For example Company Intranet

  • I am trying to install the WordPress using WPI but it gives me an error saying "

    The specified password for user account 'root' is not valid, or failed to connect to the database server." Please help. Thank you

  • Am I correct in believing that the prerequisites is phpMyAdmin, MySQL and Apache? Or can WordPress actually run on IIS itself? I always believed WordPress was never able to run to run on IIS.

  • Thank you for this install guide, tried first Plesk since it was delivered with my 2019 server but that did not work at all. Yours works out of the box! Great! The only issue I have is that I need to configure an ftp user for the wordpress update. Thank's again!

  • Doesn't work for server 2019. Be nice if people updated videos to apparently hard to find information. Anything related to websites wants databases, which then the passwords do not match nor did I get the chance to make them, but everything wants web matrix 3 which seems dead in the water from 2013 and even though windows server 2019 makes you think you will get it, it will fuck you like it did your girlfriend and give a 404 tough shit error.

  • Do you have a video explaining how to config the DNS and nameservers so my domain name can be used and accessed outside of my network?

  • It's an nicely explained and easy to understand and implement too.. 🙂
    Can you please explain/ add on how to remove the WordPress website on IIS.
    Thanks.

  • Thank you for the clear/straightforward tutorial.

  • THANK YOU SO MUCH, switching from Linux to windows environment is a nightmare…

  • גוגל ישראל, אח

  • It's 2019 and WordPress via Web platform installer still installs MySql 5.1
    Please note that:

    MySQL 5.1 End Of Life. As of December 31, 2013, Oracle will no longer distribute updates for MySQL 5.1

  • I have this installed on a individual VM so it can host the webserver alone without any disturbance, and the wordpress site works perfectly fine on that VM, but when I write the exact same URL on my other VM's (in the same domain) it just doesn't show up. As if something is blocking the access.
    Any idea of what might be blocking it?

  • Excellent solutions, very clear and easy to follow. I do have a question: how do I access the database? and where are they located? Thanks in advance
