Installing Wordpress on a subdomain

[theHoss]

Anyone have a step by step guide on how do to this. I have created a subdomain in cPanel which works fine, but if in try to install wordpress them map a subdomain to it it ends up redirecting to the primary domain. Thanks very much.

How are you installing wordpress? It should be simply a matter of uploading all the files to the correct folder and then entering the required subdomain name into the appropriate field when you run the install. That was all I did for my wordpress installation (except that I used an add-on domain and specified that name instead of the subdomain or folder name).

I installed WP in a subdomain folder here, then built my site. But when I transferred my domain name to BH and tried to move the WP installation I ran into some problems. I finally got it done, but remnants of the initial installation folder name are present. Sorta like dirt in the corners if you know what I mean.

And dirt in the corners can harbor little buggies that can come back to bite you in the a$$ later...

I am having a simialr problem, when I installed Wordpress I can only get to it by typing in

www.maindomain.com/add-on domain/

and now when I type in
www.add-on domain.org it redirects me to my main domain

when I go to the add-on domain manager it says not redirected

I have all the files in /public_html/add-on domain

Go to the admin panel, under the options tab change the wordpress and blog addresses to reflect the addon domain.

I have some question...

suppose i have created subdomain and installed wordpress on that subdomain. like subdomain.maindomain.com and then developed my site. But now i want to add proper domain for that site. So insted of subdomain.maindomain.com i want subdomain.com . How to add subdomain.com to that folder?

Felgall, in your post you mentioned uploading wp files to correct folder. Which folder is that for add-on domain?

I guess basic question is which folder is root for add-on domain?

When I added domain I created a new directory
public_html/add-on domain name/main domain name.

I created a database for add-on domain. Do I upload wp to the folder with same name as add-on domain or to add-on domain name/public_html?

Many thanks

put it in folder with add-on domain name. worked fine. thx.

[felgall]

You put it in whichever folder that you specified when you set up the add-on domain.

For example when I set up the add-on domain felgall.net I defined that it would point to the /netblog/ folder in my account. I therefore uploaded WordPress to that folder and specified felgall.net as the location when configuring the script.
