Installing Wordpress with Software installer

[arpanel2]

Hello,
I'm trying to install wordpress using the software installer.
Can anybody kindly explain what I should fill in these fileds: Table Prefix, Site Name, Site Description, Admin Username, Admin Password, Admin Email.

I've no idea what I should fill in Table prefix. In case of Admin username and password, is it my x10hosting account username and password that I should fill in?

I've attached a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

My domain is arpan.elementfx.com

Thanks

IMO with WP - it is better to use 'hand install" than the "software installer"

Hi arpanel2,

When you install WordPress, Softaculous will automatically create a database for you. This contains different tables which WordPress will store information for you. However, every table in a database must have a name. WordPress will automatically name the tables for you (e.g. "options"), but what it is being asked here is if you would like WordPress to prefix this name (e.g. if the prefix was wp_, it would be "wp_options" instead). Therefore, you can just leave it blank, or change it to whatever you please.

The site name and description is the title/description of your blog - normally appearing at the top of every page and in the title bar. This can be changed later.

The admin details are the details you will use to login - so you can create a new post, manage your WordPress install, etc.

Thank you,

The one nice thing about using installers is they are (usually) faster at creating the installation. You can always go and dump the database, manually adjust the config file and regenerate.
