2 · Setup code

For security, open ripool_app/storage/app/install-code.txt in cPanel File Manager (right-click → View) and copy the code here. This proves you own the hosting account.

3 · Website

Exactly as visitors will open it, e.g. https://www.ri-pool.com (use https once your SSL certificate is active).

4 · Database

Create the database and user first in cPanel → MySQL® Database Wizard (see the installation guide).

Almost always localhost on cPanel.

5 · First administrator

At least 10 characters, with upper and lower case letters and a number. There is no default password – only you know it.
