phpNuke install help for a moron

Jan 20th, 2005

Ok, I'm not really a moron. I can figure out most web scripts like Java but PHP and servers I can't figure out.

I plan on using phpNuke and phpBB. I installed phpBB without a problem. I can NOT figure out phpNuke.

The documentation leaves much to be desired.

Are there easier instructions out there or an easier version?

dont use phpnuke, even if they pay you, there are tons of other open source cms products that are a million times better.

Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.

Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.

Try out XOOPS, or Mambo or Geeklog. There are several alternatives out there.. I haven't used PHP-Nuke in a long time.. anyway the config.php file isn't too hard to decipher.

You just need to edit these lines:

•

$dbhost = "localhost"; http://phpnuke.org/modules/PHP-Nuke_...callouts/1.png
$dbuname = "your db username"; http://phpnuke.org/modules/PHP-Nuke_...callouts/2.png
$dbpass = "your db password"; http://phpnuke.org/modules/PHP-Nuke_...callouts/3.png
$dbname = "your db name"; http://phpnuke.org/modules/PHP-Nuke_...callouts/4.png
$prefix = "nuke"; http://phpnuke.org/modules/PHP-Nuke_...callouts/5.png$user_prefix = "nuke"; http://phpnuke.org/modules/PHP-Nuke_...callouts/6.png
$dbtype = "MySQL"; http://phpnuke.org/modules/PHP-Nuke_...callouts/7.png
$sitekey = "SdFk*fa28367-dm56w69.3a2fDS+e9"; http://phpnuke.org/modules/PHP-Nuke_...callouts/8.png

Thanks guys!

I have come to the conclusion that phpNuke does indeed suck.

I've gone with e107 which took 15 minutes to install and is pretty easy to use.

It may not be the best but it is easy and free and I don't want to deal with much for my portal.
