6. Click on the “Install” button.
7. Fill the necessary field under the “Software Setup” field:
Choose Protocol: You can leave this as it is.
Choose Domain: If you don’t have multiple domains of Server , leave this as it is.
In Directory:
If you want to install this in a directory, for example
example.com/forum, enter the directory name. Otherwise, leave this blank
to install in your main domain example.com
8. Under the “Admin Account” field enter the following information:
- Admin Username: Your new miniBB username (for security reason do not use the “Administrator” or the “Admin” username.)
- Admin Password: Use a strong password.
- Email: Your e-mail address. (Useful for administrator account password reset, notification, etc)
Note:
Copy the admin username and password on a notepad because you will need these login details to access the admin area of your miniBB Forum.
9. Advanced Options: Leave this as it is, unless you want to change the database name or take an
automated backup. Please note that taking frequent backups may take a lot of disk space.
Finally, scroll down to the end of page and click on the Install Button.
