I have seen many people needing help installing phpnuke.
Well this guide will help you instead of asking for help.
For anyone that doesn't know what phpnuke is, it is a
web portal. It's more or less the same as Geeklog.
In order to install phpnuke you will need:
phpnuke
http://phpnuke.org
PHP
http://php.net
mySQL
http://mysql.com
Winzip
http://winzip.com
phpMyAdmin
http://phpmyadmin.net
First, download phpnuke and unzip into a directory. Now go
to where Abyss was installed (C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\)
Create a folder and call it phpnuke. Now upload everything from the HTML folder into the phpnuke folder you created in Abyss. Now go to your Abyss control
panel and click on Server Configuration , then click on Advanced, and then Aliases.
Click on Add... and put in Virtual Path: /(anything you want).
Than in Real Path put: phpnuke
Press OK and than press Restart at the top. Than exit your control panel. Ok now listan carefully,
make sure that in your php.ini file register_globals is set to On. This is mostly why you get so many error.
Than go to the config file of phpnuke (C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\phpnuke\config.php).
Ok now, if you have phpedit installed than this will be easier than using Notepad.
Go to line 32 and you sould see this:
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "root";
$dbpass = "";
$dbname = "nuke";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";
If this is confusing, don't worry, Deledar got your back.
Leave $dbhost = "localhost"; to how it is.
For $dbuname = "root"; replace root with your Username for mySQL.
For $dbpass = ""; put between the "" with your password for the user name.
For $dbname = "nuke"; replace nuke with the database you want.
Leave the rest the way it is unless you know what your doing.
Now we are not done yet. Go to phpMyAdmin (
http://localhost/phpMyAdmin) and
for the database you wanted nuke to install in go to SQL and at the bottom
press Browse and if in the beginning you unziped phpnuke into C:\phpnuke
than type on the line C:\phpnuke\sql\nuke.sql and press open.
Now press go.
If you see on the top a box that says
"Your SQL-query has been executed successfully"
than it means everything went prefect. Now go to
http://localhost/(what you typed for virtual host)
and your done. Create a Super User right away due to the fact if someone else registers one first before you they get full access.
I would like to thank vbgunz for his tutorials, it gave me an idea on how to write one good.
I would also like to thank Aprelium for making such a great product.
