Importing an existing website into Installatron
Is WordPress, Joomla or another application already on your package, but not in Installatron? For example, because you uploaded it yourself or because it comes from another provider? Then you can import it. After that, you can update and back it up in Installatron and in the Website Manager.
The easiest way is in the Website Manager in My WebOké, with the Import website button. Read The Website Manager. In DirectAdmin, you do it like this:
- Log in to DirectAdmin and, under Extra Features, open Installatron Applications Installer.
- In the Applications Browser, go to the application, for example WordPress.
- Next to + install this application, click the button with the three lines ≡ and choose import existing install.
- Choose From this account if the website is already on your package, or From another account if it is still hosted with another provider. Click Continue.
- Choose the domain and the folder the website is in. With From another account, you also enter the details of the old server, such as FTP.
- Start the import. The website will then appear under My Applications.
