If you’re trying to place a separate install of WP in a subdomain, make sure you’ve registered it with your host. It’s not very hard, usually under your host’s cPanel you’ll find, under “Domains”, a link labeled “Subdomains”. Going through the cPanel wizard, you can create video.mysite.com, and (usually) a file path will be created — something like /myrootdirectory/video. This is where you want to put your new install of WP. Once you’ve dropped the fresh files into the folder, create a new MySQL database for the install and then visit your subdomain (video.mydomain.com) where WordPress will ask you for your MySQL database and user credentials to create a config file.
Unless you have specific reasons for creating an entirely new install of WP, I suggest you create a WordPress Network: http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network. After following their steps, create a wildcard subdomain in your host’s cPanel (i.e., *.mysite.com) — this will allow you to create as many sites as you want through the WP Dashboard.
Ok , thanks
But i have created the root folder , created the subd.domain.com , in this case video.domain.com , everything worked fine .
I went and installed wp from cpanel but using softaculos , and from there it was just a two step installation .
But now when i go to video.domain.com , nothing happens . I cannot open the subdomain wp admin , nothing happens .
I want to make a website under a subdomain with video and i want to create a new website with new plugins and a new template of course .
Hi , new thing …
If i access the subdomain by domain.com/subdomain … it works … but by subdomain.domain.com it doesnt … any ideas why ?
I solved the problem with the hosting company …
