This guide will tell you how to install wordpress using Direct Admin . Direct Admin is another control panel for webhosting. Just like cpanel, except DA is simpler and easier to use.

Enter direct admin and click on Mysql Management.

Now, u’ll see two options. Create new database and Phpmyadmin. Click on create new database. A page will come out asking for priviledge. Choose all priviledge.

Fill the form with whatever name you want. Make sure you remember it well. Example here , we name our database and username as wordpress. Db name and username are usually same. Make sure it’s not something that’s easy to tell.

Now that we’re done. Click on create.

Ok now you need to extract all your wordpress files into your website. I’m using CuteFtp. You can download any free ftp on net like this one here . Download latest wordpress here.

After you’re done uploading. Right click on wp_config_sample.php . Rename it to wp_config.php .. Now , right click and choose edit .
Fill in the form with your dbname , username and password that we have created using direct admin . When you’re done, save it.

Now open your website. You should see wordpress installation page . Fill in blog title , your email and click on Install.
You have now successfully installed wordpress on your website with Direct Admin. Well done.

This guide shows the basic way of using Direct Admin. You will basicly use the same way installing every cms / forum/weblog out there.
