Directions
If you are unsure what software you want to use, you may want to request a test account. Your test account lives on a separate server and provides access to all possible Softaculous applications for you to install and test out. We limit the applications available on our standard production server to maintain stability of our production server environment, and allow the test server to be more of a playground. If you develop a site on the test server you would like to move to production, we can assist with moving your site.
Please note: If the site says Softaculous is not installed, please contact LSATechnologyServices@umich.edu as no plugins may be enabled for your site.
