    Hi all,

    I have added a subdomain, namely travelers.domain.com and installed WordPress via Softaculous.

    On browser running travelers.domain.com, it shows;
    A New WordPress Site Coming Soon! ……..

    Please advise how to add database, username, user password and user email.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards

    If you’re using Softaculouse to install WordPress, it should have taken care of the database for you and sent you instrutions on how to log into the site and remove the Coming Soon page.

    It’s hard to tell for sure though, as Softaculous is a third-party and change how they operate often.

    If you don’t have any emails from them or login buttons somewhere in your hosting account’s control panel, I recommend contacting your hosting provider’s support or installing manually instead: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/advanced-administration/before-install/howto-install/

    Hi@macmanx,

    Thanks for your advice.

    It is already 18 hrs passed. Where can I find the email?.

    I have installed >40 WordPress websites in the past and they are still running on Internet. Unfortunately I forgot the steps becuase I haven’t installed new WP website for quite long time. According to my recollection I have to create database, username and user password on Terminal. I didn’t need help from hosting providers, Godaddy and HostGator (now), in the past.

    Your link is one of the methods installing WordPress. There are several methods, such as Quickinstall, 3rd party software, etc.

    Regards

    That’s something you’ll need to ask your hosting provider’s support. We have no affiliation with or control over Softaculous.

    Hi@macmanx.

    Problem solved as follow;

    via cPanel of hosting company, login travelers.domain.com

    -> User -> Change password -> saved.

    exceed cPanel.

    Now on browser “..//travelers.domain.com/wp-admin/”

    I can login. The only problem is unable to change username.

    It is very strange to me the installation of WP seems completely out of my control. Softaculous didn’t ask me to add username nor user password.

    Regards

    Yeah, I’m really not a fan of the way Softaculous does things, it’s way too hands-off for me.

    Unfortnately I forgot the steps to install my 40 WordPress websites in past, not the way as you suggested. I’ll search my database to check.
