Title: Installing with Network Solutions Hosting Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Installing with Network Solutions Hosting * Resolved [ambr607](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ambr607/) * (@ambr607) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-with-network-solutions-hosting/) * NS claims to support WP but does not auto-install and they use their own control panel. I’ve set up a MySQL database through their database manager but it never gave me the privileges setup and when I get to phpMyAdmin Create New Database and Privileges are not available. None of the screens are even close to what you’re showing in your documentation. phpMyAdmin is 2.7.0-pl2. Has anyone successfully installed to NS or am I wasting my time? * Thanks, Steve Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [yosemite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yosemite/) * (@yosemite) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-with-network-solutions-hosting/#post-402666) * I have. Didn’t have any issues with the install… * Thread Starter [ambr607](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ambr607/) * (@ambr607) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-with-network-solutions-hosting/#post-402686) * Account Manager, Control Panel, Database Manager, add database, Manage… and this is where I hit the wall. Can’t Create New Database under MySql and I have no privileges. * [yosemite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yosemite/) * (@yosemite) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-with-network-solutions-hosting/#post-402698) * What I have: Standard Hosting Package – Unix. I don’t think I can ‘create’ a DB in phpMyAdmin either, has to be done from NetSol’s DB manager interface. * If memory serves: Do the Account Manager, Control Panel, Database Manager, Add. At that window (Create mySQL Database) you fill out the username:password:confirm: database name:, leave size at default 50MB and hit the OK button. * Now you should have a “blank” MySQL DB. Next do the wp-config with the above username:password:database-name and WordPress will populate the DB with tables/ etc. * HIH. * Thread Starter [ambr607](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ambr607/) * (@ambr607) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-with-network-solutions-hosting/#post-402860) * That worked. Now for the Filezilla transfer errors…. * [yosemite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yosemite/) * (@yosemite) * [19 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-with-network-solutions-hosting/#post-402903) * I prefer FileZilla. Only problems I’ve seen with it is on the server side (NetSol stuph) dropped connections and such, but FZ handles it pretty gracefully. * [WTF](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wtf/) * (@wtf) * [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-with-network-solutions-hosting/#post-403101) * The install process for Network Solutions’ hosted sites is less than clear, and this is particularly true in terms of database setup. For more install info please see my other post(s) on installing WP on an NS-hosted server. * For database setup on NS, the only actions you need to take are outlined above by ‘Yosemite’. Here’s a step-by-step: * 1. Login to NS, click on your site hosting package, then open the ‘Hosting Control Panel.’ * 2. In the left nav, click on ‘Database Manager.’ * 3. Click ‘Add.’ * 4. Fill in the blanks for ‘username’, ‘password’, and ‘database name’. [NOTE: your database name must be unique to Network Solutions’ list of hosted databases, so you may have to try several names before one is accepted.] * 5. Click OK * 6. When your new database appears in the Database Manager menu, click on the name of the database. * 7. On the next screen scroll down a bit and click on ‘Manage’. A new window will open requesting your ID and password. The ONLY THING YOU NEED TO DO NOW is enter your password and confirm that NS is allowing you access to the database you just created. There can be a lag (sometimes considerable) between registering the database and gaining access, so you may need to make several attempts before your password will be accepted. * 8. When your password is accepted and you are allowed access to your new database, simply logout. You’re done. * [NOTE: in my experience it is critical that you make sure you can access the database before you try to do anything else to install WordPress.] Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) The topic ‘Installing with Network Solutions Hosting’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [network](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/network/) * [phpmyadmin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/phpmyadmin/) * [solutions](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/solutions/) * In: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) * 6 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [WTF](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wtf/) * Last activity: [19 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-with-network-solutions-hosting/#post-403101) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
