Support » Fixing WordPress » Looking to start a new WP blog on my 1and1 domain

  • Hi,

    I have an account with 1and1 and have started up one WPsite. I have now upgraded my package to have multiple mySLQ databases and would like to start another site. I am a little confused about hw to start doing this and I am a little concerned about messing up my other site.

    I have got as far as setting up the mySLQ database for the site, and have no idea what to do next. Do I need to create a new FTP user? Or can I use my existing one?

    I am using FileZilla (like a n00b) if anyone can help with some step by step instructions that would be awesome!

  • The proccess is simple :
    1) Just create a folder in the root directory of your server (let’s say “blog“) .
    2)With your FTP transfer into the “blog” folder the WordPress core files
    3)Into h ttp://your-domain.com/blog/ is a file wp-config-sample.php . Rename it to wp-config.php .
    4)Open wp-config.php with your text-editor and fill in all your database-credentials .
    5)Visit your site on : h ttp://yourdomain/blog/ and follow the installation proccess .
    A good starting point to read is here .

    Hi Kostas123,

    I have tried this but for some reason when I log in its logging in to the admin page for my other WordPress blog (on a different MySQL database) I have no idea what I have done wrong as I have followed the instructions step by step.
