Installing Nibbleblog Manually

Nibbleblog is a fast, streamlined blogging application designed exclusively for creating blogs. While Softaculous can automate installation, you may sometimes need to install it manually — for example, if you want a specific version or are working on an unmanaged server.

  • Greater control over version selection.
  • Works on unmanaged servers without cPanel/Softaculous.
  • Lightweight and optimized for blogging.
  1. Download Nibbleblog.

  2. Extract Files.

    • Unzip the downloaded package locally.
    • The extracted folder will be named something like nibbleblog-v4.0.5.
  3. Upload Files to Your Hosting Account.

    • Use FTP or File Manager in cPanel to upload the contents of the extracted folder.
    • Place them in the public_html directory if you want Nibbleblog at the root (e.g., example.com).
    • Alternatively, upload to a subdirectory (e.g., example.com/blog).
  4. Run the Installer.

    • In your browser, go to the installation URL:

      • If installed in root → http://example.com
      • If installed in a subdirectory → http://example.com/blog
    • The Welcome to Nibbleblog page will appear.

  5. Configure Blog Settings.

    • Select your preferred language.
    • Enter a Blog Title (appears in the browser title bar).
    • Enter a Blog Slogan (appears alongside the title).
    • Create an Administrator Username and Password.
    • Enter the Administrator Email Address.
  6. Complete Installation.

    • Click Install.
    • The Installation Complete page will appear.
    • Use the provided URLs to visit your site or log in to the admin panel.
