    can anyone tell me how to install WP so that it runs on http://www.mydomain.com/blog as other instructions give the url as mydomain.com/blog (without the www) this will cause me canonisation issues.

    DO I put it in public_html in a new folder called blog??

    Any advice?

    Yes, you'd install in a folder called "blog" in public_html.

    But... I really need to ask what you meant by:

    this will cause me canonisation issues

    because according to Wikipedia and dictionary.com, canonisation means declaring a dead person a saint.

    I think what he's asking is how to get the www. in front of his URL.

    If your webserver is properly configured (for the most part) both

    http://www.mydomain.com/blog
    and
    http://mydomain.com/blog

    will resolve to the same place.

    So take the advice from the previous post, and then try it with and without the www, you should see the same result on both.
