2.14.19. Auto-install CMS

Important points:

  • The automatic CMS installation system only simplifies the installation process; further operation and updating of the CMS depends solely on the CMS itself and the actions of the site owner.
  • Automatic CMS installation is not available:
  • To install Moodle and PrestaShop, as well as the normal operation of WordPress, OpenCart, Moodle and DokuWiki requires a working domain that is correctly pointed to the hosting account.
  • When installing older versions of WordPress, the line define( 'AUTOMATIC_UPDATER_DISABLED', true ); is added to wp-config.php. This prevents automatic updates from running when you log into the admin panel and allows you to use the version that was installed. For the latest version, auto-update is enabled by default.
  • Some CMS are only available in English, but they can be localized manually: OpenCart, Moodle.

A number of CMS on hosting can be installed in fully automatic mode, without the need to manually upload files to the hosting, unpacking, etc.
