Installing PHP-Nuke

Download the latest version of php nuke from our web site or other sites on the web This is to install nuke without a web installer..

Installing

Un-zip the file and look at the structure, you will see a "html" folder, that folder contains the files needed to upload to your web server and you must preserve the file structure. Upload all the files to a folder on your server. If you are installing in your root folder then you would not need to create a separate folder, just upload all these files to that directory. On your web server, it should look similar to fig1. below.



The next thing is to upload your sql file to your My sQL database. You will need to create a database, if you have cPanel then it should be simple for you, just click on the My SQL link then create a database and a user. Then add the user to the database. Copy those information because you will need them to enter in your config.php file. If you do not have cPanel then you can ask your host to create a database for you. Once you have the database you next need to upload the sql file. To upload you need to open phpMyadmin, which in most cases is also in your cPanel, click the name of your database then click on sql. Click the browse buttons then upload the sql file from your computer and click go. This will install your nuke tables.

The final thing to do now is to edit the config.php with your database information. Open config.php and change the following.

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "YOUR_MYSQL USER NAME HERE ";
$dbpass = "YOUR MYSQL PASSWORD HERE ";
$dbname = "YOUR MYSQL DATABASE NAME HERE ";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";
$sitekey = "PLACE ANYTHING HERE ";
$gfx_chk = 7;
$subscription_url = "ADD A URL HERE IF YOU OFFER SUBSCRIPTION TO YOUR WEBSITE ";

Save and replace the once on your server. That's it, you have nuke installed. :) Visit our forums for more help.
