Hi,

I am trying to install wordpress via the websitepanel web app gallery and run into some issues.

Firstly when going to install wordpress i cannot create a new database via the install routine so i had to create a database manually and then create a user which i'm not sure has the correct permissions to the database. How can i check/change this?

When i run through the process anyway i receive the following error:

- ApplicationInstallationError
- PackageInstallationError:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.; at WebsitePanel.Server.Code.WpiHelper.InstallApplication(String appId, List`1 updatedValues, String languageId, EventHandler`1 installStatusUpdatedHandler, EventHandler`1 installCompleteHandler, String& log, String& failedMessage) at WebsitePanel.Providers.Web.WPIWebApplicationGallery.WPIApplicationGallery.InstallApplication(Int32 UserId, String webAppId, List`1 updatedParameters, String languageId, StringResultObject& result) at WebsitePanel.Providers.Web.IIs60.InstallGalleryApplication(Int32 UserId, String webAppId, List`1 updatedValues, String languageId)

Anyone know whats wrong?

Thanks

To be honest I would just go to Wordpress.org and download the wordpress files from there, FTP them to your site and run that setup utility.

It's easy to do and you get the proper version that way.
