QUOTE(karhoe @ Jun 13 2006, 04:05 PM) just upload the forums file into your webserver, then do some CHMOD settings on the files, then you will be instructed to create a MySQL database and after that, run the forum installer file Is it the same for free CMS? Just upload and install and config? As my Uni comp cannot access to folder[restriction], I haven't tried it out... So dunno... Thanks. |

QUOTE(johntxy @ Jun 15 2006, 10:42 AM) yes, simply upload the files into your site and chmod the relevant directories. Do not anyhow chmod as it might leave a backdoor to hackers. What is chmod??? If you're looking for a good CMS, try joomla or mambo. Feel free to pm me if you got any questions.  Ok, I'll pm you if I face probs, thanks in adv.  |

Commands and explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod From the guide it says yes, but how about the install.php? Should it be in the Forum folder or just upload it? I got an error that day... |
