One Click Installs
From DreamHost
|
Here at DreamHost we know that programs are a tad bit difficult and and take some time to install so we have built in a great new feature into our Web Panel called "One-Click Installs".
All you have to do is select which One-Click Install you would like, where you would like to have it installed and that's it. We do the heavy lifting while you sit back and think of how you can show off your new program that we're installing for you. You can access the One-Click Installs on the WebPanel in the "Goodies" section, or through this link: (GOODIES > ONE-CLICK INSTALLS)
You can suggest new one-click install packages, and vote for suggestions made by others, at (HOME > SUGGESTIONS) search string 'one-click installs'

Completing One Click Installations
The DreamHost One Click installation system sends you an email containing any further instructions you need to follow in order to complete the installation of your chosen application.
Please note that, if you did not receive the install email that has the instructions on how to finish the installation, you can always check your "Support History" in the Control Panel (Control Panel -> Support -> Support History) for an archived copy of that email.
Receving a MySQL error immediately after you have installed the "One-Click application" is often because the database has not yet been set up completely. Just wait a few minutes; when you return to the page your installation will probably be be ready and waiting for you.
If a MySQL error indicating the the application cannot connect to the database persists, double check to make sure you used the proper MySQL Hostname, Databse Name, MySQL User Name, and MySQL Password when completing the installation and/or contact Tech Support for further assistance.
