Hmmm.... phpNuke looked like something that I was wanting to give a shot (along with postNuke), but they both didn't work for me - even with Anonymous given full reign of the database and with everything chmod'ed to 777 (though I'd never actually run it like that!!).

I'll have to investigate further. What version of PHP are you using? Which flavor of *NIX?

~N~

5.5, 5.6

well you might get some 500 errors...i should have said to make them 777

Um - you don't actually *run* things 777'd on your web-server, do you?? If so, would this just be to get the first record in, etc, and then put it back to its normal permissions?

I took a look at your site (like the colour scheme) and changed language, etc, to ensure that it'd actually refresh the page - it did.

I'll have to look at my system and figure out what's up. :( Then again, I *am* rebuilding my server into a mod'ed case ... and I may as well just go ahead and kill off the root partition and reload with a later release and do all the updates, etc., etc. Nice looking site, and hopefully I'll have something thrown up here pretty soon. :)

PS: You may want to specify that you can do the clone of nuke.sql something like this:
yourbox$ mysql <-p if nuke is password protected> nuke < nuke.sql


~N~

i don't understand what you mean.

Uuuhmm, this isn't actually a tut. This is the how-to-install file provided with phpNuke.

Well i typed it up and it's alot simplier then the one that they give ya.

Yeah, true. Maybe you should also put up the MySQL entries. :p

wut do u mean?

What he means is what I said a while ago:

Quote:

---

mysql <-p if nuke is password protected> nuke < nuke.sql

This means that, if your db "nuke" were password-ed with "b!llG4t3s", then you'd do a
"mysql -p nuke < nuke.sql"
then it would ask you for the password, to which you would reply "b!llG4t3s", and then it would populate the fields.

Cool avatar icon, BTW. :)

SickDwarf - is the above what you meant?

/me is even more confused

PS: Don't be depressed if everyone's putting your tutorial down ... phpnuke seems like a really rockin' tool to use on a form site, and, yeah it can be a bitch to get up and running (like mine ... grrrrr). And what I meant when I asked if you ran things 777'd on your production webserver was just that - e.g. if a random user who connects to your site can wipe out your database, that's a bad thing. I'm sure, though, that you've fixed permissions before hosting your site, though, so this likely isn't <read: shouldn't be> a concern. ;)

well if u go2 http://billgates891.l33t.ca/myPhpAdmin you can wipe my database out, now that i posted that, the ips are being logged so any1 that wipes them.........

Hey man, calm down. Get a thorough understanding of something before you go posting a tut about it. Sure you simplified, but you didn't account for the possible errors either. Work with something, learn about it, use it, and then write your own tut from scratch using other source material. You are confused because these guys are talking about things that may be over you head, learn more about something before you post about it plz. Sorry if i'm being rude or mean.

/me thwaps khakisrule. wtf are u talkin bout, i understand php nuke very well ty, i don't understand wut u mean by calm down. and i did write that tut from scratch i copy and pasted the config part from the config file to save me some typing....your ignorince is wut makes me upset....
