This post is rather specific to Heart Internet customers, but some bits and pieces might apply to you.
- inside the Heart Internet eXtend panel choose the WordPress Blog option inside the CGI Scripts panel (it's quite far down)
- choose an installation directory (assuming you don't want the blog to be your homepage) and create it
- navigate to the file called setup_script.cgi in your web browser, e.g. http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/setup_script.cgi
- if you are faced with a warning that it can't access the database follow the next steps (if it can access the database then you should be good to go)
- return to the eXtend panel and create a database for WordPress to access using the MySQL Databases option inside the Web Tools panel
- open the file readme.html, e.g. http://www.mysite.com/wordpress/readme.html in your browser
- follow instructions under the heading 'Installation: Famous 5-Minute Install'
- now's the time to protect your database name and password - see here.
