A online friend sign up ixwebhosting yesterday, and he want to setup wordpress blog in his new ix web hosting plan. Ixwebhosting is using h-sphere control panel, and there is no fantastico available to help script installation. So, you have to do it by uploading the wordpress script and setup manually.
First of all, download the latest version of wordpress from wordpress.org. Unzip it, and ftp upload to ixwebhosting server. Upload to the domain folder where you want the blog to setup at. Once the uploading done, we need to create a new mysql database for it. Login to ixwebhosting control panel, and select mysql, and from there create a new mysql database. Once done, add a user to the database. This step complete the database setup. You will need to input this database login detail to the wp-config.php file in the wordpress, and upload it to server as well.
Following steps is wordpress setup steps, follow the readme file that come with the wordpress script. Basically it sound like this. From web browser, visit yourblog.com/wp-admin/install.php. This page will start the wordpress installation. Give your blog a name, and enter your email address. Done, your wordpress blog is setup. You can now login to wordpress admin area to configure your blog and create new posting. Simple as that.
If we view back, the setup side at ixwebhosting is very little. Simply as ftp upload the script and setup new mysql database. Just two simple steps. And your blogs will be rolling hot!!
