Here's how to Install WordPress With Softaculous.

i. Here are some common issues that may arise when installing WordPress using Softaculous:

1. Permissions errors - These usually happen if the files/folders created by Softaculous don't have proper write permissions. Fixing it requires setting appropriate permissions on the WordPress folder, wp-content folder, uploads folders, etc.

2. Error establishing a database connection - This means WordPress is unable to connect to the underlying database during install. Some things to check are:

- Is the database name, username, password and host correctly specified in wp-config.php?
- Is your MySQL server running and accessible?
- Are there connectivity issues from the hosting server to the database server?

3. White screen after install - A blank/white screen when trying to access WordPress often results from incorrect file permissions. Ensure proper read/write permissions are set on relevant folders.

4. Site URL errors - If WordPress is showing the wrong URL for your site, recheck the site/home URL values in the wp-config.php file and admin settings. Clear browser cookies/cache as well.

5. Plugin install failures - Sometimes plugin installations may fail during the initial WordPress setup through Softaculous. Try installing them manually after finishing the base WordPress install first.

6. PHP compatibility issues - Using an extremely outdated version of PHP may lead to errors. Check WordPress' required PHP version and upgrade if needed.

Hope this gives you an idea of some common WordPress installation errors with Softaculous and how to troubleshoot them!
