How to Install WordPress using Fantastico in cPanel

Well i wanted to start my first post on blog and i was wondering what should i write about. As i am using wordpress so why not tell you guys about installing wordpress using fantastico in cPanel.

Here are the steps:

1. Just login to your control panel (it must be provided by your hosting company)


2. Click on Fantastico (the icon with smiling face)
   but there is no guarantee that you have Fantastico in your cPanel because, it is a value-added service.

4. Now we have to define the configuration.
   • First is the installation location:
     Install on Domain: From the drop down, your domain should be selected. (If not select it).
     Install in Directory: Leave this blank if you want WordPress to be installed in the root of the domain. But if you want to install a
     blog for your current site you can install it in sub directory and can mention the sub directory name here.
     For example if you put “blog” in the field, the url will be http://www.yoursite.com/blog/
   
   
   • Admin access data:
     Now you will have to enter the administrator name and password.
     This is the username and password that you will use to access the WordPress backend.
   
   
   • Base configuration:
     In the base configuration section, enter the following information:
     Admin nickname: the name you want to display for the admin account.
     Admin e-mail: the email address of the admin
     Site name: yourdomain.com
     Description: about your siteAfter filling all details just click the Install WordPressButton
