To install a WordPress blog, simply click on 'WordPress' in the left menu of scripts. Next, click 'New Installation,' and then you will fill in the following fields:
Install on domain: type your domain name.
Install in directory: If this blog is the only thing that you will have on this domain, then you can leave this field blank. If you want to host other properties on this domain, put the blog in its own directory called, "blog."
Admin access data: Enter a username that you will remember. The default is 'Admin,' but if you leave the username as 'Admin,' it will make your site much easier to hack.
Create a strong password that is alpha-numeric, and contains upper and lower case letters and a few characters. Write down your username and password and keep them somewhere safe.
Admin nickname: Choose this carefully as this will be displayed publicly as the author of your blog posts.
Admin email: This is the email address that will be associated with the blog.
Site name: This is the name of the blog.
Description: This is where you would put your blog's tagline if you have one.
After you fill in all of those fields, click on 'Install WordPress,' next click 'Finish installation.' The software will send you an email with all of the details about your WordPress installation.
That's how easy it is to install a blog when you have Fantastico on cPanel.
