How Do I Install WordPress in a Subdirectory?

The first step in installing WordPress in a subdirectory is to create the subdirectory. To do this, open a command prompt and type the following:

mkdir WordPress

Next, you need to copy the WordPress core files to the new subdirectory. To do this, type the following:

copy /path/to/WordPress/core/*.php WordPress/

The next step is to configure WordPress to use the new subdirectory as the site base. To do this, open the wp-config.php file in the WordPress core directory and add the following line to the bottom of the file:

define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://localhost/WordPress’);

Next, you need to create a database and user for WordPress. To do this, open the mysql command line client and type the following:

mysql -u root -p

Next, create a database for WordPress by entering the following command:

create database WordPress;

Next, create a user for WordPress by entering the following command:

create user WordPress@localhost identified by ‘WordPress';

Finally, change the password for the WordPress@localhost user by entering the following command:

update user WordPress@localhost password ‘newpassword';

Now you are ready to install WordPress. To do this, enter the following command:

php wp core install

When the installation is complete, you will be prompted to create a new site. Enter the following information, and then click the Create Site button:

site name: mysite

site address: http://localhost/mysite

site title: My Site

site description: This is my new WordPress site.

site author: Me

Click the Create Site button to create the site.

To access the site, enter the following address in your web browser:

http://localhost/mysite

Congratulations, you have installed WordPress in a subdirectory!.
