The additional domain name(s) need to point to corresponding DNS as your main domain.<br /> 2. Once you have completed the above, you should be able to add the add-on domain.</p> <p>a. Please login to your account (cPanel Account)<br /> b. Please go to “add-on domain” section of the site.<br /> c. There you will be able to complete the addition of your extra domain.</p> <p>Once the domain is added, you should be able to see a folder with the name of your domain (e.g. if your domain is xyz.com your folder name is going to be xyz, unless you change your folder name).</p> <p><a href="http://www.utiliware.com/consulting.cfm" rel="nofollow">http://www.utiliware.com/consulting.cfm</a> </p> http://ravidreams.com/forum/topic/how-to-install-wordpress#post-131 Wed, 09 Jun 2010 05:23:20 +0000 Merlinclancy 131@http://ravidreams.com/forum/ <p>1. Download and unzip the WordPress package, if you haven't already.<br /> 2. Create a database for WordPress on your web server, as well as a MySQL user who has all privileges for accessing and modifying it.<br /> 3. Rename the wp-config-sample.php file to wp-config.php.<br /> 4. Open wp-config.php in a text editor and fill in your database details as explained in Editing wp-config.php to generate and use your secret key password.<br /> 5. Place the WordPress files in the desired location on your web server:<br /> * If you want to integrate WordPress into the root of your domain move or upload all contents of the unzipped WordPress directory (but excluding the directory itself) into the root directory of your web server.<br /> * If you want to have your WordPress installation in its own subdirectory on your web site 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.</p> <p><a href="http://www.utiliware.com/managedservices.cfm" rel="nofollow">http://www.utiliware.com/managedservices.cfm</a> </p> http://ravidreams.com/forum/topic/from-where-i-get-filezilla-install-in-my-wordpress#post-49 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 20:55:17 +0000 Ravi 49@http://ravidreams.com/forum/ <p>hi vaasu, welcome to the forum. thank you very much for helping. </p> http://ravidreams.com/forum/topic/how-to-login-to-cpanel-after-getting-hosting#post-44 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:35:22 +0000 Ravi 44@http://ravidreams.com/forum/ <p>cPanel -&gt; web / FTP stats - &gt; Awstats.</p> <p>you can also try <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/</a></p> <p>abhishek, please post new queries unrelated to existing thread as new topics. thx. </p> http://ravidreams.com/forum/topic/how-to-login-to-cpanel-after-getting-hosting#post-43 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 18:15:57 +0000 abhishek 43@http://ravidreams.com/forum/ <p>hello, i want to get visitor counter for my site, i found one in my Cpanel&lt; CGI Center&lt; Counter, i want to know how can i use this in my blog. </p> http://ravidreams.com/forum/topic/how-to-install-wordpress#post-38 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:22:28 +0000 Ravi 38@http://ravidreams.com/forum/ <p>click on "Please update now".
