# installing wordpress using cpanel

 * I’m trying to install wordpress through my web host using cpanel via fantastico.
   I am able to install wordpress in the directory “domain/blog”, but I cannot access
   the wp-admin page. I’ve tried looking at the wordpress installation with MySQL
   but am confused about what user I should be setting up for which database and
   how that will translate to my page.
 * Please help.
    Thanks, Pauline

 * If you install in the blog folder (that would actually be in public_html/blog
   if we are discussing your main domain) then you would access the admin panel 
   at [http://www.sample.com/blog/wp-admin/wp-login.php](http://www.sample.com/blog/wp-admin/wp-login.php)

 * I’ve tried putting that URL in the browser and I still come up with “cannot find
   server”. (And yes, I am installing in the blog folder, i.e. public_html/blog)
