Hi Angel,

Is this folder you are trying to do the install with for a new domain or just a sub folder of the public one.

I would suggest using individual add on domains for each site as I know that will work very well and I believe more search engine friendly.

Hope that helps,
Christopher J

Hey Chris,
Thank for the reply

No it is on a second domain I registered.
I cant install a blog to it
I have tried everything I installed it in the public folder and it messed up my 1st site so I had to redo everything.
Then installed it in the public folder and inside the 2nddomain folder and it wont work I have watch the video 10 times, sent pm to marc 3 times and no help yet. I have 4 domains registered with some good niches to put up but im stuck trying to get past my 2nd site. Im going crazy.

Hi Angel,

I have had this problem to. I created my first site and spent hours adding content to it. I then installed my second site and it erased my first site.

I accidently erased it again last week because I installed my third site into the wrong directory!

You may need to delete all the files in your second site and start over.

What I am going to do for my next site is the following...

Register the domain, set it up following the instructions in the video.

open up the blog installer.

Enter the URL, name & password, the URL is ftp.SecondSite.com

When the FTP thing opens, click on Public_html

The name of your second domain should appear under public_html. I think you can click the circle next to it and install there. The blog should appear at www.SecondDomain.com

For my third site, I am going to try clicking 'New' next to my second domain and calling it 'blog' and I will install into blog.

When you do this the blog will appear at www.SecondDomain.com/blog
I might try to make the homepage a place to capture a persons name and email. Then I can do some email marketing with the PLR articles and sell ClickBank affiliate products.

Does this help?

Mike,
thank you very much I'll try this.

I have 3 sites i need to put up but this problem has put a holt to my business.

I joined plrpro 2 weeks ago and installed my first site with no problem.
I tried to pm Marc And one other member and no answer.

So thank you for the info

Angel,

First thing, what are the errors you are getting? This will really help but here are a couple things that may be causing problems.

Do not use ftp in the site at the top of the page, just put your main domain, not your new one.

Where you have to put in your new domain make sure there is a trailing slash at the end ( / ).

And one of the biggies is to delete any new databases in mysql for this new domain. It has been found when an install has errors the database gets corrupted and needs to be delted and reinstalled.

There is no great trick to adding new sites, everything just goes into the new folder where your new domain resides.

Hope this helps,
Christopher J

Hey Guys,
Thanks for your help.

I finally got my 3 sites up. Robert at Plr Pro helped me get them all up.
For some reason the installer is not working for me. We think is my internet connection Im using a wireless card, He is going to talk to marc about it. If it is, Ill just have to change my service.

Once again, Thanks guys for your support. Got to get back to work on marketing my sites.

Angel :twisted:

I've still got the same problem, so could you please explain how you did it? Thanks.

Also when I try all of the other things mentioned, I always end up with mymaindomain.com/seconddomain/index.html

So I know it has got something to do with creating another MySQL...or am I wrong..., but because I messed up my main blog when I tried to create another MySQL the first time, I just don't dare doing it again.

Therefor I really need the steps for creating another MySQL without messing up my main account or blog.

I hope this makes sense...

Hello,
Here is what I do and I hope this is what the problem is for others. I have a host gator account (reseller), it allows me as many websites as I want, which is nice. So here is what I do.

***I registered a domain name with someone (go daddy, etc)
***Then I put this address in the address bar and enter you ip address that you got with hostgator where it says "the-ip-listedin-your-welcome-email".
***http://the-ip-listedin-your-welcome-email/whm
***enter un and pw for first account
***then create a new account
***fill the info in with the new name that you registered with go daddy.
***you have set up the package on the first account,just select that one.
***then hit create
***Let it do its thing and the account will be created...now you have a new website registered with hostgator.
(you will do this for all additional websites that you are going to do in the future, same procedure)
You should have got a letter with your first account stating what you dns servers are, like this:
Your name servers:
ns43.websitewelcome.com
ns44.websitewelcome.com
***Now what you need to do is go back to go daddy or who ever you used and change the dns servers over to these. You will have to wait a period of time for the servers to change over. You will know when this has happened when you type in your website name (the one you just did above) into your address bar and you see that it exist...Now you know the servers have changed over. Until then you can't do anything, this can take 20 minutes to hours, but this must be done....
***Once this has been done you have your own cpanel for each and every website address. No need to add on, no nothing, just a seperate, clean website. http://www.your new site.com .
***now you can start the install of your site using the installer
***set up the sql at httP://www.your new site.com/cpanel and select sql database
***While you are at the cpanel add a mail account that you are going to be using or even several. Do this at the MAIL (first icon in the cpanel.
***Once you have the sql done, you now can go to the 90dc installer and do its thing there. Watch the video and do it exactly as in the video. What I do is I have the video open in one window, and the installer open in another. I watch a step in the video, then pause go to the installer and do what I watched, back to the video, watch a new step pause, go to the installer, do that step, etc....over and over until I am done with the video and it should work perfect.

I hope that I did not leave any steps out and I sure hope that this helps everyone. It is easy once you know the steps.
Good luck to all and have a great day,
Steve

Not in my case... At my CPanel it is an 'Addon Domain', but I guess this is because I only have 1 MySQL database...not?

So I just need to set up that second (and third, etc.) MySQL database for each new domain in my Cpanel? So that I have to log into my Cpanel with a different username and password for each domain/site/blog? Am I correct?

And if so, what to do with the maps I created in my main domain CPanel when I added them as an 'Addon Domain'?

(This is what it says in the 'Addon Domain Maintenance' section: "Addon Domains are domain names that point to subdirectories within your account")

Sorry for the many questions (there will probably be more) on this, but please understand that it's véry frustrating to do a lot of stuff with minor problems and then simply don't understand this 'simple' process...

Thanks for the helpin' hand,

Robert
