Multiblogging with wordpress part 3

Okay, now edit wp-config.sample to look like this (substituting your values to make your multiblog empire):

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress1'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'wordpress1'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'Mypassword'); // ...and password (use password we created)
define('DB_HOST', 'mysqlxxxserver.net'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value (localhost doesn't work, change it)

Save as -- wp-config.php and upload to your site.(godaddy has a built in ftp in it's control panel.) If your using your / (root) of your site,so you can type, for example www. thundereyez.com, open the wordpress folder on your desktop (from within the ftp client) and upload. Then type www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/install.php

and install your first blog.

Recap:

  • First get a domain and hosting account
  • then get your databases setup
  • download wordpress and edit wp-config
  • upload and install
  • repeat


For your second blog, check the wp-configsample.php and notice the change. (wordpress2)


<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'wordpress2'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'wordpress2'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'Mypassword'); // ...and password (use password we created)
define('DB_HOST', 'mysqlxxxserver.net'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value (localhost doesn't work, change it)

  • Using the same wordpress file, we change it, save as.. wp-config.php.
  • .Then create a directory, wordpress2, on your site,using the ftp client
  • open the wordpress folder on your desktop and upload the contents into the new folder,wordpress2.

Open your browser and type: www.yoursite.com/wordpress2/wp-admin/install.php

Repeat this as many times as necessary. Welcome to multiblogging
