How to Install WordPress 2.7 through Cpanelw

I am often asked the question what is the fastest way to setup a WordPress blog.

WordPress installation procedure is already easy and quick as it can get, but only after you have uploaded all the files and created a database, which can take a while and actually prove to be a challenge for some users.

If your hosting uses CPanel, chance is you will also have Fantastico installed and you may conder yourself lucky. This combination allows you to install a new WordPress blog in a matter of seconds.

The installation script is pretty straight forward.

Select the target site, and an optional directory. This is useful if you want to have several wordpress installations on the same site.

After that, set your admin name and password and click Install WordPress! The script will create a database, install WordPress and set your login details in less then 10 seconds.

For earlier WordPress versions (prior to 2.7) installing via Fantastico had another advantage - Fantastico can also upgrade your WordPress installation to the latest version with just one click. This option is now build-in into WordPress 2.7 so you don't need it anymore.

So there you go and quickest way to install WordPress is using CPanel and Fantastico!
