How to Install phpBB Forum via Softaculous in SiteWorx

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

  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 phpBB 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).
  7. Under the Board Settings field, enter the following information:
    • Board Name: Name of the forum.
    • Site Description: Description of the forum.
    • Board E-mail: The e-mail address of the forum.
  8. Under the Admin Account field, enter the following information:
    • Admin Username: Your new phpBB username (for security reasons, do not use "administrator" or "admin").
    • Admin Password: Use a strong password.
    • Admin Email: Your e-mail address.

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

  9. Choose Language: You can select the language of your phpBB forum. The default language is English.
  10. Advanced Options: Leave this unless you want to change the database name or enable automated backups. Please note that creating frequent backups may take up a lot of disk space.

Finally, scroll down to the end of the page and click on Install.
