How to Install FUDforum via Softaculous in SiteWorx

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

  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 Forums category. Click on it and then click on the FUDforum 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).
    • Data Directory: You can leave this as it is.
  7. Enter the following details under the Site Settings section:
    • Site Name: Name of your forum, such as "Technology Forum."
    • Site Description: Your site description.
  8. Under the Admin Account section, enter the following information:
    • Admin Username: Your new FUDforum username (for security reasons, do not use "administrator" or "admin").
    • Admin Password: Use a strong password.
    • Admin Email: Your email address. This is helpful for admin account password resets and notifications.

    Note: Copy the admin username and password to Notepad. You will need these to access the admin area of your FUDforum 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 up a lot of disk space.
  10. Finally, scroll down to the end of the page and click on Install.
