  • Get the latest Rar pack

    Download and extract the latest version from www.neocrome.net (and here only ! Any other distribution is illegal).

  • Main configuration entries

    Open the file datas/config.php, and fill up parameters about your MySQL database.

    Do not change settings that you do not understand yet ! Please notice that most of the request for technical support are caused by erroneous settings or typos in this area.

    So if get an error message saying that Seditio or PHP cannot connect to the database, first check that the host name, database name, user name and password are ok. If you have a doubt, ask your hosting provider for the correct values.

  • Upload files to your server

    Seditio can manage an unlimited count of skins (HTML layouts), but one is usually enough.

    The default skin is set in /datas/config.php, by default it's "ice".
    Do not upload the folder /docs, its not required by the engine.

  • Allow file writing for some folders

    'CHMOD 777' folders (to allow files writing, do this with your FTP client) :


    • /datas/defaultav/

    • /datas/avatars/

    • /datas/photos/

    • /datas/signatures/

    • /datas/thumbs/

    • /datas/tmp/

    • /datas/users/



  • Create the SQL database

    Open a MySQL remote manager (PHPmyAdmin is the most famous).

    Select your database, then in the tab 'SQL' create tables with the SQL script :


    • docs/seditio-createnew-102.sql


    (With the button 'Browse', point to the location of the file on your computer, then run the script with 'Go')

  • Create your account

    Open your home URL with a browser, select 'login', then 'register', to create your account, and once done, log-in.

    Note that the first user to register is automatically activated and assigned the group "Administrators".

  • It's done !

  • Not working ?

    Bad luck, so restart from the beginning and follow the steps carefully, and if after this second try the result is the same, head for the forums(Neocrome) or here(Seditio Forge). Please put your website in your profile there, so the helpers can see the problem "live".
