Step by step install wpmu in VDS / VPS : Put wpmu inside vds

I prefer to use ssh instead ordinary ftp transfer since its lightning fast

In this tutorial I’ll show how to put wpmu into vds system that already setup, in previous post the system setup as follows :

• add user into vds
• add domain
• setting wildcard
• setting dubdomain

Here’s the steps :

1. Login into minivds using ssh client if you using windows or use terminal if you’re in unix based system.

2. Download wpmu

root@ngeblog:/root# cd /home/blog/data/

root@ngeblog:/home/blog/data/www# ls

4. Setting MySQl database

Login to ispmanagerlite and click on :

Tools -> databases

Click on + icon to add new database, fill information around database

From the picture :

• username : blog
• database name : wpmu
• password : xxxxxx

Use that information for install wordpress multiuser.

Enough for now, I’ll continue to installation and a few problem that common happen in installation step.

Stay health everybody
