How to Setup a Wordpress blog
This tutorial will help you to set up a Wordpress Blog using our Free Web Hosting Services. The installation of wordpress is going to be done using our fantastico-like script installer. It should only take few minutes, so what are you waiting for to get your own fully customizable Wordpress Blog?

As we did in Hello World Minisite Tutorial, our site name will be tutorial1. So our site is tutorial1.230mb.com. You can access to your Vista Panel at cpanel.230mb.com with the login information provided when you opened the account.

Once you can access your site's Vista Panel Administrative Backend, We have to create one MySQL Database to store WP Information. Do not get freak, it is an easy task: (Vista Panel Home > DataBases > MySQL databases)

create mysql database



As you can see, we are using 0 of our 3 MySQL DBs available. Let's name our DB "tutwp" and then we hit CREATE DATABASE button.

name the data base


After that we have to see the next message that shows us the full name of our DB (mb230_2677117_tutwp). We will need this full name later, so we can write it down.

New DB Full name


Ok. Until now we have created one MySQL SB named  mb230_2677117_tutwp. We have to have this name handy for WB Installation. Also we will need our Free Webhosting Account Information...remember this document?

free webhosting account login information


Above, we can see: MySQL Username, Password and MySQL Host. This, along with MySQL DB Name is all the information we need to install Worpress without any issue.


Let's look for our Fantastico Script Installer: ( Vista Panel Home > Software / Services > Fantastico Type Installer )

And Then we have to chose on which subdomain we have to install the script.

Next, we get the list of scripts ready for install, we chose WordPress. (as you can see there are plenty of them)

Scripts ready to install


Then we have to select destination folder, let leave it intact to select root ( / ). We hit Complete Install button

Select destinaiton folder


After that, we must see a message showing that the Script was successfully installed. 

Now we have to visit our site on the web browser and we should see this:

create configuraion file.


We hit Create a Configuration File button and then we see WP Installation Check List. Since we have all the items required, just hit Let's Go button.

Then, we must enter our database connection details. The Database name we already created, and MySQL username and password provided in the Free Webhosting Account Detail Document. Please do not forget to set Database Host to the one that is written on your Account Details Document. It is very important and many people just let "localhost" unchanged.

If the connection is right you will see the next message. If don't, please feel free to send us an email: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Connection OK

After that we hit RUN THE INSTALL button and then we have to set the Title of the Blog and contact email

set blogs title



Few Seconds latter we get our autogenerated WP admin user password.

wordpress has been installed



And then we may use this password to access our WP-ADMIN for the very first time:
We can login at http:/oursitename.com/wp-admin/, for example:   http://tutorial1.230mb.com/wp-admin/

login


This is our WP-ADMIN Portal. as you can see it is pretty intuitive and easy to use.

Our site is up!


That's all... This is not space science. WP has endless capabilities and is a very good Blog / CMS. We hope to see your WP site soon in our Free Webhosting Servers.
