Manage Blogs > Create/Install/Edit Blog Project Option 1
Here is where you start by adding a new blog project for installation (or editing previously created one). Domain and Hosting Account Info Here you will enter all the information for your cPanel webhost and Blog Information. Please refer to your webhost login information that you received when you bought their services. Hostname/Domain - eg. www.yourdomain.com Web Folder (empty if none) - Case sensitive. E.g. enter MyBlog if you want it to be installed in www.foo.com/MyBlog. It is advised to use some web folder for installation rather than to clobber web root, it makes easier to uninstall. cPanel Login username - enter the username that your webhost gave you. cPanel Login password - enter the password of your cpanel login. Use single DB: - It may be cleaner solution to use separate database for each blog. However you may not be able to remove hosting provider limit on database count and then you would need to stack all sql tables into single database per cpanel account. You can't change this option for already installed blogs. Only required for Addon Domain Installations In this part you will setup the addon domain info. This will only apply if you are installing blogs on addon domains. Addon domains are domains you already added within your Primary domain's Cpanel > Addon Domains section. This is mostly used in shared hosting when resources are limited and hosting allows you to add unlimited domains but as addon domains. Let me explain the first 3 options here: 1. Home directory begins with?: select the one that pertains to your host. You will find this information in your cpanel on the left side where you see all the info about the server you are on. (ie. /home/username) 2. Hostname/domain/addon domain/sub-domain inside folder?: You need to check this. 3. Domain folder name: This gets a little tricky. Enter the addon domain folder name your host creates when you first added the addon domain in your cpanel. You can see how it was done by going into Cpanel > Addon Domains and where you see the list of the domains you will notice the folder it was created. (ie. addondomain.com or addondomain) You need to enter exactly the folder name you see in there. **Configure Your Profile Here** Here you will have the chance to change anything you want on the blog before you actually install on domain. BUT be adviced that this action will also modify the Blog profile you created in Manage Profiles > Option 1. If you don't need to make any last minute changes then just skip this part and continue with the next sections. Last part of this section where you choose a button below for processing: When creating/installing a new project you will only see the Create or Install buttons. Explanation for each option: Create Project >> - this will create(save) a new project without actually installing the WordPress blog on the domain. If you use this option then you will see it listed in the Pending Blog Installs section. From there you can install it on the domain or just edit the project. Install Blog >> - this option will actually Install your WordPress blog on the domain. (it will pop up a window showing you the process of installation) |
