Steps to Install SeedDMS

Download the folder from this Link
Extract the folder directly to the root directory of server(Example in Xampp software root directory is xampp/htdocs/ . If you are using LAMP in linux then extract to directory /var/www/html/)
Now start the Server
Open from the root folder of server i.e. SeedDMS51x/seeddms-5.1.12/install/install.php
SeedDMS5.1.12 is the version which I had used while installling
After opening this path. It will show an error to create a file named ‘ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL’ Note: The file does’nt have any kind of extension.
Create that file in folder named ‘conf’ which will be present on main path of the software (Use command `# touch ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL` on linux )
Then run the file again(install.php)
It will set your home directory automatically
If the home directory is not got changed and errors are showing on the screen. Do some customizations
Open the file conf/settings.xml change the root directory in this small file everywhere you see and change database credentials to yours.
It is recomended to create database(If you are creating it in mysql then change the sqlite to mysql)
Then run the install.php file(Location: seeddms51x/seeddms-5.1.12/install/install.php)
Your installation will be started and completed soon
Note: In case you are unable to open install.php file even after making changes to settings.xml file then you have issue with server
Now delete the file conf/ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL
You will automatically be redirected to the login portal
Use `admin` and `admin` as defalut username and password if you not set it earlier
Boom! You are done with the installation 🙂

If you have any other error or need any help. I would be happy to help you please leave a comment 🙂
