Hello!
Today we are going to install Craft CMS on the free 000webhosting platform!
Requirements:
- around 15 minutes of time needed
- PHP 5.3.0 or later (000webhost provides a slider selection of 5-7! So we are fine!)
- MySQL 5.1.0 or later (000webhost provides the requirements needed!)
- The latest version of Craft CMS > https://craftcms.com/
So firstly head over to their site and download the CMS of Craft.
Once downloaded head over to 000webhost.com and login to your members area.
Create a new site or edit an existing one
Now launch the File Manager to begin the upload!
Once uploaded simply extract,
Or use Unzipper! https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ndeet/unzipper/master/unzipper.php
Paste the code into a new file in your root such as unzipper.php then launch in the browser!
Once unzipped place the craft folder outside of public_html
Then move the files from public into public_html
Now head to the database manager on 000webhost.com and make a new database/user and keep note of the details
Once created put these details into the db.php file within craft/config outside of the public_html folder
Once you’ve completed that run the installer by visiting
yoursite.000webhostapp.com/index.php/admin/install
Create your administrator account
Setup your site title and URL
It will now take around 10 seconds to complete the full installation!
Ta-da! Easy as that!
Your site is now live
Now for you to start building your site and pour in the creative content required to embrace your visitors!
Happy site building!
