Updating existing website

theshamu · 2011-10-17 13:35:28

My friend has asked me to update his website, it's fairly outdated. I have experience in Wordpress but always used the one click install on to the domain. Can anyone tell me how I would override his existing site and upload a wordpress cms? I have all his ftp settings. Thanks!

you'll need access to create a database on his web hosting package but other than that it's as simple as following the guide above and downloading the code.
