- Log in to SiteWorx, for example at
www.example.com:2443/siteworx/. - In SiteWorx, open Hosting Features if it is not already expanded, then select Softaculous.
- In Softaculous, select Forums in the left-hand menu, then choose AEF.
- Select Install.
- Complete the Software Setup fields:
- Choose Protocol: Select the protocol for the installation.
- Choose Domain: Select the domain where you want to install AEF.
- In Directory: Enter a directory name to install AEF in a subdirectory, such as
forum. Leave this field blank to install it at the domain's document root.
- Under Board Settings, enter the forum name and its email address. Enable the UTF-8 character set if you need to support multiple languages.
- Under Admin Account, enter an administrator username, a strong password, and your email address. Avoid common usernames such as
adminoradministrator. Save these login details securely; you will need them to access the AEF administration area. - Leave Advanced Options unchanged unless you need to modify the database settings or configure automated backups. Backups use disk space. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Install.
