Generate wp-config.php

After downloading WordPress, you’ll need to set up the database in the wp-config.php file. To make this process straightforward, we provide four flexible options:

  • Fully Automated

  • New Database

  • Existing Database

  • Remote Database

Fully Automated

The Fully Automated method streamlines the process entirely. We will automatically create a local MySQL database, a user, and assign the necessary privileges. Then, we’ll configure the wp-config.php file with the appropriate database credentials, eliminating any manual input.

New Database

The New Database method is similar to the fully automated setup but gives you control to specify a custom database name, username, and password. This approach is ideal for users who prefer a personalized database configuration.

Existing Database

The Existing Database method allows you to link a database that you’ve already created manually using the MySQL Manager. Simply select your pre-existing database, and we’ll handle the wp-config.php configuration.

Remote Database

The Remote Database method enables you to connect WordPress to a database hosted on a separate server, such as Google Cloud SQL, Amazon RDS, or any other external database service. Simply provide the remote server’s credentials, and we’ll configure the wp-config.php file accordingly.

  • We do not store database credentials on our servers.

  • You can switch between these methods anytime by deleting the wp-config.php file and reconfiguring it.
