Mediatemple - howto - one click install of wordpress blog
Posted April 9th, 2008 by adminHowto - mediatemple - Set up a subdomain blog using Wordpress and one click installer after logging in to the mediatemple account center.
1. Choose the one click installer.
2. Put the name of the subdomain blog.<subdomain>.com in the website path field.
3. OK to use the existing database, just be sure to use a unique table prefix per the instructions. I wp_<subdomain> just to be sure do not accidently duplicate. May need to include the TLD if blogging on two domains with the same name, one .com, one .net.
4. This brings up a “Status - pending installation” stop sign, that typically clears in less than a minute, changing to a “finish” arrow.
5. Fill out the blog title and the email address as directed by the installer. When satisfied, click the “Install” button.
6. Username and password are returned at this point. I make a jpeg image file of this page, and store it in a database for a reasonably secure record of the information. Then I delete the incoming email that displays the plaintext password as quickly as possible and empty the email trash.
7. Click the login button to test and make initial changes to the blog.
8. It probably will take less time to do it, than it took to read this!
