Configuring The Database
The next important step of your WordPress configuration is to set up your database. To do so you need to connect your domain to the right database. To do so, use the drag-and-drop menu and choose on which domain you want to install your WordPress.
Leave the “Directory” field as it is, and then enter your database date.
Pay attention to the “wp” text that might be found inside the “in directory“, or you might install the WordPress in another folder that is not the main folder of your domain.
The information relating to your database can be found in the email that Aruba.it sent you.
Configuring Admin Account
Once you are done with these steps, scroll down to the Admin Account section, and create your admin account – username, password, and email.
Then, all you have to do is to choose your language and for extra security, you can click on the “Limit Login Attempts“.
Re-check if all of your information is correct and click on the Install button and wait for your WordPress installation to be done.
Once it is done, go to yourdomain.com/wp-admin and you can log in with your admin account and start building your WordPress site.
