How to Install PunBB Forum via Softaculous in SiteWorx

Softaculous makes it easy to install web applications. Please follow the steps below to install the PunBB 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, then click on the PunBB 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 Directory: 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. 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 PunBB 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 PunBB forum later.

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