How to install WordPress with Softaculous

How to install a CMS via Softaculous

In our guide we will explain the procedure to install Wordpress, but you can install any other CMS you prefer.

We access cPanel, the control panel of all Web Hosting Linux, and click on the Softaculos icon in the Software section:



We will be taken to a panel where we can choose which software to install. Then click on the Wordpress icon -> Install



In the next screen we will have to choose the configuration of our installation. The procedure is very simple and is in English. Just read the instructions carefully and we will not have any problems.


Warning: by default the script installs the CMS on a subdirectory, in the case of Wordpress it is called "wp" as shown in the figure.
If you leave these settings Wordpress will be installed here: http://mydomain.com/wp if our intention is to install Wordpress in the main directory (so that opening the site http://mydomain.com is displayed) it will be necessary to delete the word wp from the highlight box on the following screen:



Once this setting is correct, we continue with the other configurations (language, theme, autoupgrade, etc.) and click at the bottom of the page on "install" to start the process. The system also offers us the insertion of our personal e-mail where we will receive all the access data of this installation when the process is finished.

The installation will take less than 1 minute and we will already have our Wordpress site installed correctly. For what concerns the CMS in question, we suggest you to give an opportunity to the optimized Hosting WordPress.
