Dear Sir
I followed the steps written in this blog to install wordpress on a sub domain. My domain is israela-w.com and my subdomain is wordpress.israela-w.com, but unfortunately I could not find your 6 step as described above there were no such button “microsoft web app gallery” in the left panel?!
Could you assist me?
thanks, Rony
Please simply contact support and we can enable it for you.
These instructions work fine as far as they go. I have successfully completed this much of the WordPress install a number of times. However, on first visit to the site, WordPress displays its own installation page, asking for a site name and admin password. When I complete the form and click to continue, a blank step 2 page is displayed. The site exists, but when I try to log in, access is denied. When I check the database, I can see that no admin account has been created. It looks like the installation process does not quite do everything it needs to do.
Just a note for anybody else trying this… When I first launched WordPress, I got a 403 Forbidden error. If you also see this, you can fix by adding index.php as a default document.
1. From the panel, choose “Web sites”
2. Select your site
3. Add index.php to the list of default documents and save
Very useful post. I really appreciate your blog.
Thanks
Hi
I followed the given steps. But, after the installation,it is not working for me.
Hi,
Have you submitted a ticket to support[@]arvixe.com? Arvixe does one free install of a script for our new customers. One thing to note through that if you are only using wordpress it is strongly recommended that you use a Linux account instead of an ASP account.
i have installed the wordpress from microsoft word gallery but when i try to access the site the error shoots up – 403 – Forbidden: Access is denied.
Please help
Please check the control panel and make sure that index.php is listed as a default file.
I’m receiving this error.
The application could not be installed:
– Error while installing application package: The database ‘destnapoli’ could not be created.; at Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DeploymentObject.HandleRetryException(DeploymentSyncContext syncContext, Int32& attempts, Boolean& retry, DeploymentRetryException ex, DeploymentOperationKind operationKind)
Can you help me, please?
Hi, please contact our scripts team (scripts@arvixe.com) and they will be able to assist you. It looks like it will need to be installed manually.
