How to Install Phorum Forum via Softaculous in SiteWorx?

Install Phorum

1. Log into your SiteWorx account. (e.g. www.example.com:2443/siteworx/ )
2. Under “SiteWorx Menu“, click the “Hosting Features” menu item if it is not already open.
3. Click on the “Softaculous” option.

4. SiteWorx will open a Softaculous Interface.
5. On the left side of your screen you should locate the “Forums” category. Click on it and then click on the “Phorum” link that will appear.

6. Click on the “Install” button.

7. Fill the necessary field under the “Software Setup” field:

  • Choose Protocol: You can leave this as it is.
  • Choose Domain: If you don’t have multiple domains of Server, leave this as it is.
  • In Directory:
    If you want to install this in a directory, for example example.com/forum, enter the directory name. Otherwise, leave this blank to install in your main domain example.com

8. Enter the following details under the “Site Settings” field:

  • Site Name: Name of your Forum like “Your Domain Name – My Forum Name”
  • Site Description: Site Description.

9. Under the “Admin Account” field enter the following information:

  • Admin Username: Your new Phorum username (for security reason do not use the “Administrator” or the “Admin” username.)
  • Admin Password: Use a strong password.
  • Email: Your e-mail address. (Useful for administrator account password reset, notification, etc)

Note:
Copy the admin username and password on a notepad because you will need  these login details to access the admin area of your Phorum Forum.

10.Advanced Options: Leave this as it is, unless you want to change the database name or take an
automated backup. Please note that taking frequent backups may take a lot of disk space.

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