How to Install Drupal with Softaculous in cPanel — HostCupid technical guide
  1. Log in to your cPanel account.
  2. In the Software section, click Softaculous App Installer.
  3. In Softaculous, open the Portal/CMS category on the left and select Drupal.
  4. Click Install.
  5. Under Software Setup, review the installation options:
    • Choose the version you want to install: Keep the selected version unless you need a different one.
    • Choose Protocol: Select the protocol you want to use for the site.
    • Choose Domain: Select the domain for the installation.
    • In Directory: Enter a directory name to install Drupal in a subdirectory, such as example.com/directory. Leave this blank to install it at the domain root.
    • Cronjob: Keep the default setting unless you need to change it.
  6. Under Site Settings, enter your website name.
  7. Under Admin Account, enter an admin username, a strong password, and your email address. Avoid common usernames such as admin or administrator. Save these login details securely; you will need them to access Drupal's admin area.
  8. Review Advanced Options. You can leave the defaults or change the database name and backup settings. Automated backups can use disk space.
  9. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Install.
