fantastico is only for servers running cPanel as far as I’m aware. you’d have to install that first… do a google search for installing cpanel and for installing fantastico and you should find what your looking for.

haha yeah well of course it’s logical to put the install in a folder called store.

I was looking at this as more of an exercise in rerouting the processes.

thanks for your help meesha, i think this one is more effort than it is actually worth.

i want the URL bar to contain the address ‘store.domain.com’

redirecting to it on the server side doesn’t work because it reverts to the wordpress install folder.

Hi guys,

i’ve tried using –

require($_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’].’/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);

this still adds the ‘store’ folder to the path making it

store/wordpress/wp-blog-header.php

is there any way to actually make this work or am i wasting my time?

please i could really use some help on this.

hi i am having the same problem that jonandel was having.

Specifically : This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.

i have followed the detailed wordpress setup, edited wp-config both manually and tried the script.

i tried using ‘fantastico’ which is included on the server to automatically setup wordpress and that still didn’t work.

i have emailed my server’s support centre and am waiting a reply from them.

can you shed any light on this please?
