Installing WordPress<\/em> with Softaculous<\/em> is very simple and can be done in under two minutes. Softaculous<\/em> is a script that you find in most hosting accounts that enables you to install applications like WordPress<\/em> in just a few clicks. If you want to install a WP blog on your server read on this\u00a0WordPress Softaculous installation<\/strong> tutorial.<\/p>\n

First, you need to make\u00a0sure that your hosting account has Softaculous<\/em> before purchasing. If this is the case, login into your control panel:\u00a0cPanel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Your control panel is located at https:\/\/domain.com\/cpanel<\/em> or\u00a0https:\/\/domain.com:2086<\/em><\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

Enter your username and password and click “Log In”.<\/em><\/p>\n

When you purchase hosting all the details on how to login to your cPanel is indicated in the first email you receive.<\/p>\n

This is the Control Panel<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have many options available in cPanel, but Softaculous<\/em> is located down the page in the section Software\/Services.<\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

In the section Software\/Services you now can see Softaculous<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

You may also see a section like this showing all applications that Softaculous<\/em> can install.<\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

WordPress<\/em> is the first to show.<\/p>\n

You can click on this WP button or the Softaculous<\/em> button to get to the script.<\/p>\n

WordPress Softaculous Installation<\/h2>\n

The menu at the right shows all the different categories of scripts. Click on the first one “Blogs”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

The menu expends.<\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

You can see that there are 14 kinds of blog scripts that you can install automatically. WordPress<\/em> is the most popular.<\/p>\n

After you have clicked the “WordPress”<\/em> link you will see the Overview<\/span> page.<\/p>\n

The WordPress version is shown as well as any other blog you may already have installed.<\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

In this example, there is a current installation on domain www.pantika.net<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in directory wp<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I am now going to show you a new WordPress Softaculous installation<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Click the blue “Install”<\/em> button to get to the following page.<\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

Then, choose https:\/\/<\/em> or\u00a0https:\/\/www.<\/em><\/p>\n

Choose the domain if you have more than one in the hosting account (pantika.net).<\/p>\n

The third step is very important<\/span>.<\/p>\n

If you want to install the blog on the domain, say “pantika.net”<\/em>, leave the field blank.<\/p>\n

If you want to install in a directory, write a name. It could be “blog”<\/em>, I chose “mgo”<\/em> for this example. This directory should not be an existing directory, but a completely new one.<\/p>\n

“Database Name”<\/em> and “Table Prefix”<\/em> can be left as they are.<\/p>\n

Then enter “Site Name”<\/em> and “Site Description”<\/em>. This can be changed later in the WordPress<\/em> interface.<\/p>\n

Now lets see the remaining options.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chose a username and password for WordPress. It has to be different of your cPanel username and password. When you see “Strong”<\/em> in green, you are good.<\/p>\n

Also enter your admin email address.<\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

If your language is other than English you can change this in the menu. Enter an email for a report on the installation if you wish, and click “Install”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

10 seconds later… you get this!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

A WordPress Softaculous Installation is that easy.<\/p>\n

You have 2 links, one for the blog and one for the admin section.<\/p>\n

This is the blog.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

See the blog here.<\/p>\n

and this is the Admin section.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

It is where you enter your previously chosen username and password to work on your blog.<\/p>\n

On this page, click on “Return to Overview”.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

You will now see your blog installed and any other previous blog.<\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

You can install any number of blogs providing you are using a different directory for each one.<\/p>\n

Deleting a blog is as easy as creating one, just click the red cross.<\/p>\n

In order to return to the cPanel<\/strong> of your hosting account click on the icon circled in red below.<\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

Or you may just logout using the link provided.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.<\/p>\n
