Note: Under Advanced Options, you have these options:

  • Disable Update Notification – If this is checked, you will not receive an email notification for updates available for this installation.
  • Auto Upgrade – If this is checked, this installation will be automatically upgraded to the latest version when a new version is available.
  • Automated Backups – Softaculous will automatically backup your data via CRON as per the frequency you select.
  • Back Rotation – When backup rotation limit is reached Softaculous will delete the oldest backup for this installation and create a new one. Backups will utilise your diskspace.

Once it is installed, you can then provide the link: http://yourdomain.com/phpmyadmin to a user or developer to start managing your database. The credentials they need are the following:

  • Database username
  • Database password

This is best if you don’t want any user or developer to access your cPanel. If you haven’t created a database yet, click the guided link on How to Create a Database User or How to Create a Database.
