This article describes how to manually install the Nibbleblog blogging application on your hosting.com account. Nibbleblog is a fast, streamlined application designed exclusively for blogging.
If you have a managed hosting account, you can use Softaculous in cPanel to guide you through the Nibbleblog installation process. A manual installation is only needed for special scenarios, such as when you want to install a particular version or have an unmanaged server.

Installing Nibbleblog

Nibbleblog is compatible with all hosting.com accounts, and the installation process is straightforward.
Although hosting.com servers are compatible with a wide variety of software applications, we cannot provide troubleshooting assistance for application-specific issues.
To install Nibbleblog manually, follow these steps:
  1. Use your web browser to go to http://www.nibbleblog.com, and then click Download.
  2. Download the latest stable installation.zip file to your local computer.

  4. Use FTP to upload the contents of the extracted nibbleblog-v4.0.5 directory to the public_html directory of your hosting.com account.
    📘 Note
    • This step assumes that you want to install Nibbleblog in your account’s document root directory. If you want to install Nibbleblog in a subdirectory, upload the files to the subdirectory instead.

  5. Use your web browser to go to the Nibbleblog installation URL. The Welcome to Nibbleblog page appears.
    📘 Note If you uploaded the Nibbleblog files to the document root directory, the installation URL is your domain name (for example, http://www.example.com ). If you uploaded the Nibbleblog files to a subdirectory, add the subdirectory’s name to the URL.
  6. In the Language list box, select the language you want to use for the Nibbleblog interface.
