Install WordPress on hosting using DirectAdmin
For those user that having own hosting, famous wordpress blogging platform can be easily installed by few clicks if hosting is running Cpanel using Fantastico. But for DirectAdmin control panel, user need to manually setup everything.
Here is my way to install wordpress on my DirectAdmin V.1.3.2 using registered new domain from co.cc.
Login to your Direct Admins control panel, add in your domain name as add on domain by clicking “add another domain”
Filled in your domain name.
Create a database for your domain by clicking “Create new Database”
I’m having 2 databases for 2 different wordpress. So, i put the name of wrdp3 for my third wordpress. Try using name that related in order for u to differentiate out the database. Fill in also the username and password.
Once created database, below screen will show up indicates that database is created successfully.
After finish create database, we now move to wordpress script. Download latest wordpress. Unzip it.
Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php
Edit wp-config.php using text editor such as notepad and fill in your database details.
Upload all your wordpress files to the desired location on your web server using FTP clients.
- If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain (e.g. http://example.com/), move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.
- If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your web site (e.g. http://example.com/blog/), rename the directory wordpress to the name you’d like the subdirectory to have and move or upload it to your web server. For example if you want the WordPress installation in a subdirectory called “blog”, you should rename the directory called “wordpress” to “blog” and upload it to the root directory of your web server.
Run the WordPress installation script by accessing wp-admin/install.php in your favorite web browser.
- If you installed WordPress in the root directory, you should visit: http://example.com/wp-admin/install.php
- If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory called blog, for example, you should visit: http://example.com/blog/wp-admin/install.php
Insert your Blog title and email address.
Once finish, a admin username will be created with password. *Remember the password, u need it to access the wordpress later. The auto created password can be modified.
Login to your wordpress control panel to modify admin password or created another username.
That’s it! WordPress should now be installed. U can go to your website link to test your wordpress.
