Hi,

 

I have nearly completed my second website and I am wanting to add a Wordpress blog to it. I have recently went with the standard package on tsohost.co.uk after reading some good comments on here about them. However I am a bit new to Worpress and mysql databases and have no idea how to go about setting this up.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks

 

Andy

You probaly can set up a database very easy throughout your cPanel.

You just need to fill in two names and a password, wich you will put in the wordpress form , that's all

Think I know what I am doing now, thanks.

 

Yup, cPanel is the way here:

 

1. Login to cPanel at yourdomain.com/cpanel
   
2. Find 'MySQL Databases'
   
3. Create a new database, it will be: yourusername_databasename
   
4. Create a new user for your databases
   
5. Add user to database, give appropriate privileges
   
6. WordPress can take care of the rest of setup, after you complete wpconfig.php
