   My main domain is ceconn.com that is hosted by Mochahost.com. I have an addon called tapc.ca and the registrar for that is GoDaddy. I did this only today.

   Back in Mochahost cPanel, I created an addon name called tapc.ca, then in File Manager, I created a folder called .../html_public/tapc.ca and installed wordpress in that folder. Next, I created mysql database. Next, I made the appropriate changes in wp-config.php entering the database name, username and password. Then I tried to type in tapc.ca/wp-admin/install.php in the browser but can't find.

   I must be doing something wrong. I just don't know what.

   BTW, I can't seem to create tables in mysql. That's probably where the problem lies.

   Please help. I've been working on this for hours.

   #1. Did you set the DNS server names in your Godaddy account for tapc.ca?

   #2. YOU don't make the tables... WP makes the tables during install.

   EDIT: Once you set the server names, it takes a bit for the domain to propagate so don't be alarmed if things don't work right away :)

   #1, I probably didn't do that. That's probably what's wrong.
   #2, I know but nothing I've done is creating tables. But the problem is probably with #1.

   I do appreciate your assistance. Very much.

   Tables haven't been created because the install hasn't taken place.

   OK, I went to GoDaddy to do what you told me. Turns out I have to wait for Canadian government to approve name because of the .ca then I can change the name server on GoDaddy website. Well at least I know what to do now.

   Again, thank you so much.

   I'd just like to add, the technical support at Mochahost sucks. In fact, the same goes for my previous host, namely ehostpros. Those techies know nothing. Everything I know, I've learned from this forum.
   Perhaps part of the problem is that they use terminology that other techies use but that lay people seldom run into. Whatever, thanks.
