Deploying WordPress with Jelastic is a simple three step process which can be done without any coding skills involved.
Step 1: Create the environment
After log-in to the panel a new environment has been created from the option ‘NEW ENVIRONMENT’.

Once the package is in Jelastic, deploy it to the environment you have just created.
Step 3: Configure MySQL database

When you created the environment, Jelastic sent you an email with credentials to the database. Create an account and the database with the application using these credentials.

Click the Open in browser button for wordpress project in your environment.
The WordPress installation will be started.
In the window fill in fields in the following way:

Database username > type username (which you’ve entered while creating database or just root).
Database password > type password (which you’ve entered while creating database or which you’ve got by email).
Database host > insert link of your database (without “http://” and “/”).
Then click Submit.
