Installing Logaholic via Softaculous

Logaholic is a program that allows you to track statistics for your website. These stats allow you to see things such as how many hits your site gets on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. You can use these stats to compare and see trends to help your site become more efficient.

This article guides you on how to install Logaholic using the Softaculous installer tool located within your cPanel. (Shared servers have this program installed, but VPS and Dedicated servers must request this as a premium service.)

How to install Logaholic via Softaculous

1. First, log into your cPanel dashboard.
2. Locate the Software/Services category and then click on the Softaculous icon.
3. From the Softaculous main page, find the Polls and Surveys category on the left-hand menu and click on the expansion icon. (It looks like a small gray arrow pointing to the right). From there find and click on the Logaholic link.
4. The installation page comes up on the right. Click on the Install button located in the upper right corner.

   Protocol	Use https:// unless you specifically have purchased an SSL for your domain.
   Choose domain	Select the domain to which you want to add the logaholic.
