Guide: How to install phpnuke

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.

Marty_,
Have you tried using PHP 4 instead of PHP 5? Some scripts pretend they support PHP 5 but they actually do not.

Yep that was it, you would think a modern version phpnuke, would run with the lastest PHP releases anyway great all up and running.
http://badhq.com and something I didnt find mentioned on the site, dont forget to load a www. site or abyss wont find the URL
Iam now setting up and transfer my Perl site http://web-bin.com hope to see Abyss listed somewhere :)
Thanks again for your patience

Your welcome. We've noticed that many popular PHP scripts still have problems with PHP 5 hence our suggestion.

we just tried installing PHPNuke 7.8 on an older version of mysql (3.23.58).. to get the supplied sql file to work we had to change everywhere it had the line
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
to
) TYPE = MYISAM;
and it worked perfectly

I get this...
Error
There seems to be an error in your SQL query. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem

is there a free version of phpnuke? it says to buy a license......

TRUSTAbyss

PHP-NUKE 7.9 is Free
http://phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1

aprelium

iBluff,
The error message says at the end:
MySQL said: Documentation
#1050 - Table 'nuke_antiflood' already exists
This means that PhpNuke is trying to install some tables into your database and that these tables are already there (probably from a previous failed setup). So remove these tables (using PhpMyAdmin or any MySQL administration tool) and restart setting up PhpNuke.
