So you see the potential in social content promotion, and want to make your own digg-like website? You can do it in 5 minutes. Here’s how.

1. Download the latest version of Pligg, the open-source CMS
2. Create a mysql database. Example “pligg.”
   Note - Have your database name, username, password, and
   host handy before installing
3. Rename config2.php.default to config2.php. Do the same
   for /libs/dbconnect.php.default.
4. Upload the files to your server.
5. chmod 755 /templates, /templates_c, /backup, /avatar/user_uploaded,
   config2.php, /libs/dbconnect.php and /libs/options.php
6. chmod 655 config.php
7. Open <yoursite>/install/install.php in your webbrowser.
   Step 1: Make sure to read the entire page and click continue
   at the bottom when finished
   Step 2: Fill out your database name, username, password, and host
   Step 3: Make sure there are no error messages!
8. Delete your /install folder.
9. chmod 655 libs/dbconnect.php
10. Open www.<yoursite>.com
11. Make sure to look at the very top of the page for any
    notifications. Use the god account. Login: god - Password: 12345
    to make the changes needed.
12. Change the password from 12345 to something different as soon as possible.
13. Make sure that you delete your /install directory after
    installing Pligg and adding categories.

That’s it! Now you can customize your own digg-site to your liking and get started promoting stories.
