Can you please help me. I have a hosting server and I only have FTP access. There is OAK cms installed at the hosting machine WWW directory and this old CMS is hosting a page in production.
I would like to ask what is the proper way to install Wordpress to this machine without shut down the old webpage. Should I install WordPress to a subdirectory? If yes, then how can I forward all the request to the new subdirectory? unfortunately
I don't have access to the DNS server to modify it.
Thank you!

I have a wordpress website in localhost and a hosting plan with a domain name on Bluehost.com
My website is ready and now I wanted to go live and push my website to hosting server using Git. But in Bluehost C-panel there is no git option.
I have searched google but did not succeed to find a solution, so I came here if somebody could redirect to me to a tutorial link or give me some clues on how to do it i would be very grateful.
If you have VPS or Dedicated server on bluehost, try this manual from Bluehost FAQ:
https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/2383
Pretty sure, that you must manually import database (as it not included to git and can't upload automatically in mysql) and configure again wp-config.php. Also you don't say, what server you using with localhost, cause it can be different from bluehost config (for example apache / nginx / php version).
Hi, I am trying to install a WordPress in a subdirectory
"domain.com/wordpres". But I don't know anything about Amazon Web
Server. I tried youtube and google. but they only show that how to
install WordPress on AWS. nothing more in deep detail.
Please help me, if anyone knows how to install WordPress on a subdirectory of my domain on the AWS server, or suggest me any proper post/tutorial.
Thanks.
like say the guys, you need install wordpress normally.
First your need connect with your instance, this is a virtual server, the ssh protocol is commonly used.
I recommend read the documentation.
For linux instance: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/AccessingInstances.html
For Windows instance: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/connecting_to_windows_instance.html
Second step is install your web server normally, LAMP or WAMP depending your instance, i recommend apache, mysql or MariaDB and the last version of php, but exist a lot web servers softwares for your choice. If you have not a experiencie read this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/es_es/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-LAMP.html
Finally your need download the need version of wordpress, edit config file (wp-config.php) and run.
If you have not a experiencie read this: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/es_es/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/hosting-wordpress.html
Note: If you need "domain.com/wordpress" is possible with VirtualHost in apache.
Documentation: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/examples.html
I recently installed wordpress on my Ubuntu 16.04 machine. In order to connect to a wordpress website locally I made some configurational changes because of that whenever I try to connect to localhost, browser directs my requests to http://localhost.192.168.1.33.xip.io/ automatically. I am not able to access my local Wordpress because of this. Please help.
I had the same issue and solved. If you are using bitnami, you need to change site URL in bnconfig.
sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/bnconfig --machine_hostname YOURDOMANIN
For more details, please have a look at bitnami forum.
Good luck
is there any localhost CPanel like app/software that we can install wordpress?
because I would like to teach on how to install wordpress in CPanel just using localhost setup so we can avoid damaging our host CPanel.
Many thanks :)
You can install WordPress in any subdomain or sub directory on your website to avoid any main host damage. As a result, you do not need to setup any local environment for testing purpose.
Nowadays, most of the hosting providers offer one click installation tool [like Fantastico, Softaculous etc..,] in cPanel from where you can install WordPress in a minute.
I successfully set-up Drupal Multisites with:
site1.domain.com
site2.domain.com
site3.domain.com
using Virtualhosts and editing the etc/hosts with MAMP on my localhost. I then deployed it using SVN (it deploys automatically) on the live site.
The Problem: when I type "Site1.domain.com" because it goes to my localhost instead of my live site. Is there anyway to avoid this? (apart from renaming the subdomain, because it speeds up deployment)
Just check your virtual host settings in httpd.conf file, are you using IP address to redirect them?
And if its directing to your localhost, just check your host file, if might be redirecting because of that
