Softaculous was added to free hosting in 2014 but it was never complete (a lot of software missing). Now with the release of Softaculous Remote you can get the full softaculous on free hosting at no extra costs. You also get the latest Softaculous version (bug fixes, design updates, software updates, etc). To get started you will need:
- An InfinityFree account
- A free Softaculous account
- Access to your FTP details (see in the client area on InfinityFree)
After you created a free Softaculous account go to https://remote.softaculous.com and enter your Softaculous account details. After logged in you will see a screen like that
Now pick any software you want to install and click on the blue Install button. Now you will see a screen like that (if you didn’t added your domain):
- Domain Name = your domain
- Server Host = must be ftpupload.net
- Protocol = must be FTP
- Port = must be 21
- FTP Username = your ftp username
- FTP Password = your ftp password
- FTP Path = the folder where you want to install (ex: /htdocs), do not put /public_html
- Backup Path = the folder where you want to store backups (create a new folder if you want) (ex: /htdocs/backups), must create one if you don’t have one
- Data Directory = the folder where you want to store software data (create a new folder if you want) (ex: /htdocs/backups), must create one if you don’t have one
After you are done click “Test and Save domain”.
Now complete the fields that the software needs.
If your software needs database access use the following details:
- Database Host: sqlXXX.epizy.com (see in the client area)
- Database Name: epiz_XXXXXXX_XXX (see in the client area)
- Database Username: epiz_XXXXXXX (see in the client area)
- Database Password: XXXXXXXXXX (see in the client area)
- Database Port: 3306
And you are done
