Installation form

  • Choose Protocol - if you have SSL installed, choose SSL from the drop-down menu; mostly used with shopping carts.
  • In directory - if you want a software to be available via mysite.com leave the field blank. In case you type a directory name, Softaculous will automatically create it and install a script there, thus a software will be available via mysite.com/directory
  • Table Prefix - all of your databases have the following name format
cpaneluser_databasename

cpaneluser - is table prefix.

By default Softaculous sets software abbreviation as table prefix, but there is no need to change it to your cPanel account name. It will be done automatically.

  • Admin Account details are the login details to a software back-end area. Apart from cPanel (which is purposed for hosting account management), you will have a separate admin panel to manage a software you install: add content, manage themes, etc.
