Some people here seem to be having a bit trouble installing SMF,]. Well I'm here to help.
 First of all, if you haven't already done so, go to http://www.simplemachines.org/ and get the full version of SMF. Now run your FTP program ( see http://www.zymic.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=59 for info on FTP) Once you have your FTP program open upload the SMF files to your site. Once that is done, click on MySQL database in your control panel and make a database. You can name your database anything you like as long as you remember it. Optional: To make things easy make the database username same as your database name. (less to remember) Now press create username with the password. (Whatever you want, but remember it!) Now once you've done all that, go back to your SMF folder in your file manager and click edit permissions on the following files: attachments avatars Packages Packages/installed.list Smileys Themes agreement.txt Settings.php Settings_bak.php There will be a few boxes checked with some letters next to them. Make sure each of these files have "W" checked and click OK. Make sure that this is done to all of the above files. like so  Finally run "install.php" by doing yourname.zzl.org/wherever_you_copied_files/install.php and follow the steps! This should be pretty easy! After all this, delete the install.php and go to your forums and do whatever you want. Thanks , Swintell If you have any questions please post here and I'll try to help the best that I can. |

i just left install path blank when i installed it. i forget the installation process but i think you would enter:
Server: database name? Username: database username? Password: database username password? Install path: it seemed to find it on its own Again, i am not sure about this because i havent installed smf in a while. but give it a shot and see if it works |

QUOTE(Valency @ Mar 30 2008, 06:25 AM) Uploading forum just now, I'll reply with some feedback soon Hope it goes well. SMF didnt cause too many problems. Might want to add a link to the installation manual on the smf site in your tutorial. so if people have a ton if issues then it will be most likely answered there. it also gives all of the information that you need to put in at places... |
