Control panels are powerful web hosting tools that enable users to build and administer their site with ease.\u00a0 cPanel is regarded as one of the best and is currently the most widely installed.\u00a0 This control panel is known for being user-friendly with a plethora of features.\u00a0 cPanel allows you to manage your emails, set up domains, view web stats, backup data and much more right from the interface.\u00a0 It also gives you the ability implement a variety of scripts to create message forums, chat rooms and even blogging software.<\/p>\n

In this tutorial you learn how to install the popular WordPress blogging<\/a> software in cPanel by way of the Fantastico script installer.\u00a0 If you make use of another control panel, we suggest referring to the WordPress website for more details.<\/p>\n

Getting Started<\/strong><\/p>\n

After logging into the cPanel account, click on the \u201cFantastico\u201d icon.\u00a0 When that window opens, open the \u201cFull List\u201d menu and click the \u201cWordPress\u201d link in the \u201cBlogs\u201d category.\u00a0 A separate page for WordPress will open giving a short description on what the program is about.\u00a0 After verifying that the server has adequate space, you will click on a link that reads \u201cNew Installation\u201d.<\/p>\n

Your next step is to make a few essential configurations, starting with the installation location.\u00a0 Your options are \u201cInstall on Domain\u201d and \u201cInstall in Directory\u201d.\u00a0 If you want to install WordPress on your domain, access the drop-down menu and select the appropriate name.\u00a0 If want to install it on the root of your domain, leave the \u201cInstall in Directory\u201d section blank.\u00a0 For example, if you want to access WordPress in a different directory such as \u201cblog\u201d, you would type something like this into the field: http:\/\/mysite.com\/blog.<\/p>\n

After determining where to install the program, you will then need to assign a username and password, the credentials that will allow you to access the back-end of WordPress.\u00a0 Enter the following information into the main configuration section:<\/p>\n

Administrative nickname: <\/strong>This is the name that will be display on your WordPress administrative account<\/p>\n

Administrative email:<\/strong> The email account where you want to receive administrative messages<\/p>\n

Once you have entered this information, click on the \u201cinstall\u201d button.\u00a0 From there the installation will notify you of the updates that were made.\u00a0 After clicking the \u201cFinish Installation\u201d button you\u2019re done.\u00a0 You then have the option of sending the details to a particular email account or returning to the overview section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
