How to Install Drupal via Softaculous in SiteWorx

Softaculous helps you install web applications easily. Please follow the steps below to install Drupal.

1. Log in to your SiteWorx account.
2. In the Additional Features section, click on Softaculous.
3. SiteWorx will redirect you to the Softaculous interface.
4. On the left side, locate the Portal/CMS category. Click on it and then click on the Drupal link that appears.
5. Click on Install.
6. Fill in the necessary fields under the Software Setup section:
   • Choose Installation URL: Select the appropriate protocol/domain. In the In Directory field, if you want to install this in a directory (e.g., example.com/directory), enter the directory name. Otherwise, leave it blank to install in your main domain (e.g., example.com).
   • Choose the version you want to install: You can leave this as it is.
   • Cron job: You can leave this as it is.
7. Under the Site Settings section, enter the following information:
   • Site Name: Enter the name of your website, such as "My First Website."
8. Under the Admin Account section, enter the following information:
   • Admin Username: Your new Drupal username (for security reasons, do not use "administrator" or "admin").
   • Admin Password: Use a strong password.
   • Admin Email: Your email address.

   Note: Copy the admin username and password to Notepad. You will need these to access the admin area of your Drupal website later.

9. Advanced Options: Leave this unless you want to change the database name or take an automated backup. Please note that creating frequent backups may take a lot of disk space.
10. Finally, scroll down to the end of the page and click on Install.
