The 1-click installation routine didn’t work for my latest domain name so here are the steps I did to install WordPress manually.

download current version of WordPress and unzip
Login into Media Temple
Create database

Click on Overview –> Admin –> Manage Databases
Click Add New Database
Enter appropriate database name like testdevwp

upload unzipped file to the root folder of “html”
Start a web browser and go to the domain name
click on language
Click Let’s go
In Media Temple account, click on Overview –> Admin –> Manage Databases

click View Your Guide
copy the appropriate information to the WordPress configuration screen from the Database section
Click Submit

Click Run the install
Enter information
Click Install WordPress
