How to install Pixelpost on your account:

5) Create MySQL database and User (read here: http://support.maiahost.com/mysql-da...er-logins.html ) You can create database name pixelpost and user admin

6) Open your website now to start the software installation for example www.mydomain.com and then go to the administrator page (just add /admin to the url) and you will get the installation prompt.

7) Click "Begin Installation". On the next page click "Proceed with Installation" since we have already created the database logins and we can proceed with setting them up in pixelpost. On the next page again click Begin Installation (note that our servers are fully compatible with Pixelpost and all the tests will pass).

8) On the Database Settings page, put:
Database Host value to be localhost
Database Name and Database Username to the database name and user you created earlier (copy from CPanel->MySQL databases to make sure you have the correct database and user prefix)
Database Password value to the password you set up earlier. Note that there is no prefix to the password.
Database Prefix -- keep the same!!!

Click "Test Connection". Should say "Connection Successful!" otherwise you didn't set the mysql database right, and need to re-do it again.
