I have tried to install wordpress in my friend site ..
after go to cpanel and make the subdomain and do mapping directory which will the subdomain wordpress …
I upload the wordpress file using ftp software filezilla ..
the subdomain like this : subdomain.mydomain.com ..
and the directory where upload the installation file is : /public_html/subdomain
after i upload all the installation files …
i acces http://subdomain.mydomain.com ..
but it will redirect to http://mydomain.com ..
after that i search in the internet how to handle this ..
after 4 hours and do many testing , finally i can do it ..
here is the solution for installation …
just copy your another wp-config.php from another wordpress installation ..
and edit this config :
define(’DB_NAME’, ‘database_name’); // The name of the database
define(’DB_USER’, ‘database_user’); // Your MySQL username
define(’DB_PASSWORD’, ‘database_password’); // …and password
define(’DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); //
after that just upload wp-config.php to /public_html/subdomain/
just directly go to http://subdomain.mydomain.com/wp-admin/install.php
it will do directly the installation …
i don’t exactly what make the default installation direct to mydomain.com but i think because main blog use permalink so when i type http://subdomain.mydomain.com it has been handle permalink by the wordpress in the main blog.
I hope it usefull ..
