I am having a hell of a time with setting up this program to build a new site. Anyone good at using this?

I need to know step by step what to do to set it up. For some reason the tut's I read are not getting the job done
:(

BTW it's version 6.0

read the install file that comes with the archive.

its real simple.

1) unzip the files

2) edit config.php to reflect your database settings

3) copy the files to your web server using ftp or some other means.

thats pretty much it

make sure you chmod all the files as 666, and all the folders as 777. You have to set up a mysql db as well. and populate it. use phpadmin for that. its pretty easy to setup. Ive used it as well as post nuke. I prefer postnuke myself.

You should not have to chmod the files to 666.

You also don't have to populate the database manually, as long as you already have a db to put the stuff in it should do everything for you.

At least thats what the docs say, I have never setup 6.0.

Frankly, I think both PHPnuke and postnuke suck.

unless 6 has changed alot from 5.6 i dont rember an install script. Postnuke has one but not phpnuke. It comes with the sql file but you cant just plug phpnuke into any db.

According to the readme, version 6 added a db abstraction layer meaning it can run on MySQL, mSQL, PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL_local,
ODBC, ODBC_Adabas, Sybase and Interbase servers.

"If all goes well, the system will detect this first run and automaticaly
will create the database, all tables and all default data for this new
database. No more action required by your side."

I think ill have to check this version out.

I like Postnuke from a user's perspective. However, after spending a few months working with the code I will forever h8 on it from a developer's standpoint.

Alright, I just installed it.

For some reason I had to run the nuke.sql file in order to get the db setup.
