How to Install Serendipity via Softaculous in SiteWorx

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

  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 Blogs category. Click on it and then click on the Serendipity 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 Site Settings section, enter the following information:
    • Site Name: Enter the name of your website (e.g., My First Website).
    • Site Description: Enter your site description.
  8. Under the Admin Account section, enter the following information:
    • Admin Username: Your new Serendipity username (for security reasons, do not use "administrator" or "admin").
    • Admin Password: Use a strong password.
    • Real Name: Leave this as it is or enter your real name.
    • 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 Serendipity blog later.

  9. Choose Language: You can select the language for your Serendipity blog. The default language is English.
  10. 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.

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