How to Install MODX via Softaculous in cPanel

Softaculous makes it easy to install web applications. Please follow the steps below to install MODX.

Log in to your cPanel account.
In the Software section, click on Softaculous Apps Installer.
cPanel will redirect you to the Softaculous interface.
On the left side, locate the Portal/CMS category. Click on it and then click on the MODX link that appears.
Click on Install.
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).
Under the Site Settings section, enter the following information:
- Site Name: Enter the name of your website, such as MODX.
Under the Admin Account section, enter the following information:
- Admin Username: Your new MODX 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 MODX website later.
Choose Language: You can select the language for your MODX installation. The default language is English.
Advanced Options: Leave this section as is unless you want to change the database name or enable automated backups. Please note that creating frequent backups may consume a lot of disk space.
Finally, scroll down to the end of the page and click on Install.
