Hello everyone, So I am trying to install buddypress on my website,
http://www.chatterpit.com

I am using cpanel to install it. Can someone post step by step or a link to a video what I need to do to get it to work? thanks!

What is c-panel?

Buddypress only will run on a wordpress installation.

So I need to install wordpress? is buddypress a plugin for it? Cpanel is a popular website hosting platform.

please let me know about my question.

@Chatterpit BuddyPress codex is your friend

Helpful thanks, but what about my not being able to access my site admin? Should I do a manual install instead of a fantastico one?

[Virtuali]

can you go in your site’s /wp-admin?

[Chatterpit]

No, I log in after the installation and it just refreshes the page.

i have just done a manuel re-install and still same problem. Any solutions? Thanks

@Chatterpit the first link I gave show server and WordPress install requirements before installing BuddyPress. At this stage where you mentioned “Okay I just installed wordpress. I am logging in but it wont let me go to site admin when I click it?” it shows that your WP install is not even working correctly. There are many reasons for that and you should find resolution to your WP installation issue at WordPress.org forums before attempting to install BuddyPress plugin.

I would recommend a new host that has automatic wordpress install. It’s a breeze, there are several good hosts with this (bluehost, godaddy etc)
