Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’m a newbie to say the least, and both WordPress and IX Web hosting had a lot of information and FAQs, but none simply explained in a clear, precise step-by-step manner as yours did. I had given up hope that I could use WordPress with my web site. Thanks again.

Hi,
If i want to leave my existing horrible site live while i work on setting up my wordpress site, is there a way to do that? Is it as simple as not deleting index.html until i’m ready, or will that cause a problem when I try to install wordpress?

Actually you don’t have to do any of this any more. In Control Panel, go to WebServer/EasyApps and you can install WP on the spot.

Cool stuff, thanks for posting this helpful tutorial I guess IX would have figured people want WordPress as the root directory by now.

Just to reiterate a comment further up, there is one step missing.

1. Before running the WP install you need to click on the “Database User” inside IXWebhosting MySql and grant full permissions.

Other than everything works perfectly.

Thanks again:.

Hi,

I have just installed WP3.01 on ixweb and have experienced a couple of issues which I guess you may be able to assist with, I hope!

If I go to the domain, it shows a strange landing page – like a root directory but for wordpress. Now, if I click the login it then takes me to a 404 page as the redirect link reads as
http://IPaddress/wordpress/login.php

Went through the install ok, when I got to the end it asked me to login – went to login and thats where I found the issue.

Any thoughts what could have caused this?

wp-config-sample.php has been renamed, and the .html file has been removed.

Look forward to hearing your pro-thoughts on this!

Regards
Darren

Thanks for the info. I got WordPress 3.0.1 installed. One glitch: the MySQL user has to have admin rights. Your screen shot shows it being configured with read/write.
