🛠️ How to Install CodyChat — Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

If you’ve purchased CodyChat from BoomCoding's Store and don’t know how to install it, don’t worry — this guide walks you through everything, step by step, even if you’re not tech-savvy.

📦 Step 1: Download Your CodyChat Files

Go to https://boomcoding.com/store, log in to your account, and download the CodyChat ZIP file.

💻 Step 2: Prepare Your Hosting

Your hosting should support the following:

• PHP version: 8.0 to 8.3
• Enable these extensions:
  • ioncube
  • GD
  • curl
  • zip
  • mbstring
  • redis (optional but recommended)

📁 Step 3: Upload Files to Your Server

Unzip your CodyChat folder and upload all files to your server (usually in public_html) using File Manager or FTP.

🗃️ Step 4: Create a MySQL Database

In your hosting control panel (like cPanel):

• Create a new MySQL database
• Create a database user
• Assign the user to the database with ALL privileges

🧩 Step 5: Run the Installer

In your browser, go to your domain (like https://yourdomain.com) and the installer page will load. Enter your database info and proceed with installation.

✍️ Step 6: Make Folders Writable

Set these files and folders to writable (CHMOD 755, 775, or 777):

• system/settings.php
• js/pwa/manifest.json
• avatar/
• cover/
• upload/
• gift/

🔐 Step 7: Verify License in Admin Panel

Log in to your new CodyChat account, go to the Admin Panel, and verify your license using your BoomCoding credentials.

🚀 Bonus: Enable Redis Caching

To improve speed, enable the redis extension in your hosting panel. This helps performance if your server supports Redis.
