Step by Step

Installation in 5 Minutes

Download SPChat

Once released, the download is available in the STREAMPANEL Customer Center. SPCast customers will also find it there. Simply download and extract the ZIP package.

Customer Center - My Products - Click Open Product Management for SPChat - Download

Upload files

Upload all files via FTP to your web server. The public/ directory must be the document root. On most hosters, this is done via the file manager in cPanel or Plesk, or via an FTP client like FileZilla.

Create database

Create an empty MySQL database with a dedicated user via cPanel, Plesk, or phpMyAdmin. Note the credentials for step 4.

Start Web Installer

Access /install/ in your browser. The installer checks PHP extensions, configures the database, runs migrations, and creates the first admin account.

Done. SPChat is live.

After installation, you can log in directly. Under /admin/ you can set up rooms, invite users, and configure SMTP, GIPHY, custom CSS, and more.
