Pligg CMS is a PHP/SQL application and as such you will need to download the installation files from the official Pligg CMS website first. After having your PliggCMSversion.zip (the version number is changing when a new release is available) file downloaded, please extract it to your local computer. The extracted files should be uploaded under your hosting account where you would like to have Pligg installed. This can be done via a FTP client by following the instructions in our great ftp video tutorial.
If you would like to have your Pligg website directly accessible from https://yourdomain.com you should upload the files under the public_html directory. Alternatively, if you would like to have it located under a subfolder you could create a subdirectory under your public_html folder where the files should be uploaded. If you upload your files under /public_html/pligg/ your Pligg installation will be accessible from https://yourdomain.com/pligg.
As soon as your files are uploaded under your account you should proceed with the MySQL database creation process. You can easily create a MySQL database for your CMS by following the instructions in our MySQL tutorial.
Once you have completed the above explained steps you could initiate the installation process. The setup is pretty fast and will start when you access:
