  • Hi Ardy7201,

    If this is blank VPS you will also need to install MySQL. Do you know what operating system you have installed?

    Kind regards

    i think mysql was installed with kloxo.

    after click wordpress folder, wordpress starting to install. but stuck at database host..

    Hi Ardy7201,

    Kloxo is a control panel to manage your VPS, I’m pretty sure i wouldn’t come bundled with MySQL (But, I have never used it).

    Also your domain name doesn’t appear to be resolving for me.

    Kind regards

    Hi Ardy7201,

    Ardy, Pipe is totally right: Please don’t post links to files on this forum, especially executable ones. It’s a danger to the rest of the users.

    Quick overview on what you need to know about what’s happening:
    You don’t have a mysql server on the same server as your web server.

    So, you need to login to your VPS control panel, look for a databases option, and create one. On that page (somewhere) it’ll have an IP or hostname. Sometimes it’s a public IP address and domain, sometimes it starts with 10.x.x.x

    What ever that is, once you create the database, enter the hostname/IP into your wordpress setup.
