I’m a new client and a novice. My domain is ********.com … I want to install WordPress. … I am looking at the ‘Softaculous’ Software Setup form and I could use all the help I can get. … Choose Protocol (http://) <-- looks right; Choose Domain (done automatically); In Directory (leave bank?) or enter dir? Difference?; Database Name (leave as is ‘wp479’?) ? is this system assigned, or do I create it?; Table Prefix (leave as is ‘wp_’?) ? is this system assigned, or do I create/mod it? … like ‘TUBwp_’?; I believe Site Settings and Admin Account are up to me, correct?

Hello tomadams,

Thank you for contacting us. I marked out your domain name for security purposes, since this is a public forum.

I recommend reading our full guide on Installing WordPress using Softaculous, since it goes over the important settings. It has helped many people get WordPress set up.

If you get stuck on a step, just let us know where and we can guide you in the right direction.

Thank you,
John-Paul

John-Paul: I saw 20+ hits on my Question but only found your one reply (is that correct?) I am assuming everyone else agreed with your comment for me to continue with the process following the guidelines - which told me to trust the defaults - don't get cute. ... Which I did. ... Installation was successful. ... I'm on to the next step. ... Thank you, sir. - Tom Adams
