Installing Wordpress on a subdomain

[dimmerli]

Hi ,
I am trying to install wordpress in my subdomain folder but got "Internal Server Error" when I got to the point of actually running install.php .

Any insights?

just install it like it was your primary domain. i have several running in sub domains. extract it into a directory on your desktop. modify the config sample file and put your login information in there and then upload it to a directory in the subdomain. then follow the directions it should work fine.

Hi ,

I am facing similar problem.
On Globat.com, the only way to setup a domain name is to create a folder with same name. e.g. sub.domain.com
I installed wordpress in a folder named blog.domain.com. But when I try to access blog.domain.com, it redirects to www.domain.com

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

This is a forum for people who host their sites on Bluehost. You need to ask the folks at Globat, or ask your question in a forum that deals with Globat issues, or Wordpress issues.

OK.

Thanks

You probably have the site url in wordpress set to domain.com instead of sub.domain.com.

Thanks wysiwyg.

Where can I find that setting? I used the auto web installation method. I did not change anything.

Can you get to your wordpress admin panel?

The blog and wp address are under (path to wordpress)/wp-admin/options-general.php

Yes. I can access the file manager etc.

Can you post a link to it actually, it will be a lot easier to see what the problem is.
