The nameservers were in the e-mail that you received... I'll PM them to you

I am assuming wraith is creating an account on a share space for you not allocating/creating something on a VPS/dedicated setup
-rgdot (July 27, 2013, 11:01 AM)

This would be correct. I'm just setting up a share space on my dedicated server.

Based on this screenshot, so far, so good?

rgdot · « **Reply #578 on:** July 27, 2013, 01:47 PM »

Should be good. Old days it would take 1~2 days to propagate, should be much quicker nowadays

kyrathaba · « **Reply #579 on:** July 27, 2013, 01:48 PM »

Ok. So they'll send me an email when it's propagated?

rgdot · « **Reply #580 on:** July 27, 2013, 01:51 PM »

No email, you will just notice it when site loads for you (a default/404/other page on the server instead of nothing or a namecheap place holder).

Right now I'm getting this. The username/password it's asking for will be assigned by you, wraith, right?

wraith808 · « **Reply #583 on:** July 27, 2013, 03:59 PM »

^ That's correct... it's already propagated

And not will be assigned... you should have received it in your e-mail. Did you not receive an e-mail? I got the admin version, so I just assumed that you had received it. It would have come from [email protected], and should be entitled "New account on host2.gamera.cc (williambryanmiller.com)" did you receive that e-mail?

Didn't get the cPanel email. Checked SPAM folder - not there, either.

I sent you the relevant information in a PM.

Speaking of themes, wraith posted some earlier, the one I most often use is Suffusion http://aquoid.com/ and is capable of a normal blog layout, tiles, and others. It is very flexible with many possibilities. It's also an option .

kyrathaba · « **Reply #587 on:** July 27, 2013, 05:01 PM »

Thanks, wraith!

Got setup via cPanel.

Successfully connected via FTP using Filezilla.

I've downloaded Wordpress and Suffusion.

rgdot · « **Reply #588 on:** July 27, 2013, 05:17 PM »

WordPress itself needs to be installed via FTP, themes and plugins can be installed from within WordPress after it is installed.
Let me know if I can help with the install itself and of course moving forward.

EDIT: Many but not all themes and plugins can be installed from within WordPress after it is installed.

kyrathaba · « **Reply #589 on:** July 27, 2013, 05:36 PM »

@rgdot. I downloaded version 3.5.2. I think that's the most up to date. I assume I upload to subdirectory /public_html/, correct?

rgdot · « **Reply #590 on:** July 27, 2013, 05:51 PM »

Yes 3.5.2 and that's the correct directory.
However I believe the WordPress zip (and tar) will be extracted in /wordpress and not root (public_html). One would have to move the files, before or after upload depending on what is easier.
Then comes creating the database, filling in the details in wp-config and running the install script

kyrathaba · « **Reply #591 on:** July 27, 2013, 08:32 PM »

Do I upload the Wordpress directory alongside /cgi-bin/ and my root folder /kyrathab/ ? Or do I need to go into my /kyrathab/ folder to install it?

rgdot · « **Reply #592 on:** July 27, 2013, 08:52 PM »

Not sure what the /kyathab folder is? The WordPress files should be in root ( / ), one level up from where they are as of this moment (I am looking at your site)

kyrathaba · « **Reply #593 on:** July 27, 2013, 08:54 PM »

I uploaded at the same directory depth as /cgi-bin/ (I think that's right). wraith, if you don't care to take a look at setting it up (tying it to a data base, adding Suffusion, etc), I left the password just as it was when you assigned it.

kyrathaba · « **Reply #594 on:** July 27, 2013, 08:55 PM »

@rgdot. Okay, will move to root.

kyrathaba · « **Reply #595 on:** July 27, 2013, 08:57 PM »

Filezilla is uploading /Wordpress/ directory to root now...

kyrathaba · « **Reply #596 on:** July 27, 2013, 09:09 PM »

Ok, Wordpress is now uploaded to root. Beyond that, I'm out of my depth fooling with php file configs to connect to DB, etc. Like I said, if I can talk one of you guys into handling it, it'd be safer probably.

You moved it one level up from where it was? I am asking because the "/" in my previous post may be confusing (site root vs server root). Apologies if so.

kyrathaba · « **Reply #599 on:** July 27, 2013, 09:34 PM »

The Wordpress directory is currently located at the same level as directories "public_html" and "public_ftp".
