Installing phpNuke - 08-10-2004, 10:14 PM

Hello all.

I recently downloaded phpNuke 6.0 and just earlier, 7.3. I couldn't even get 6.0 installed correctly as I kept getting some sort of error message that read as follows:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: message_die() in /home/napalmt/public_html/ussachilles/achilles/db/db.php on line 88

I'm using a friends webserver to get this working, and it's running on a windows box. I tried editing the config.php file first, but, as this is the first time I've ever done anything like this, I have no clue how to do it exactly.

I'd like to know if someone could contact me on one of my listed messengers and give me step-by-step instructions on how to do this... reading instructions from documentation confuse me quite frequently... I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could give me.

Thanks,
JadorOnizuka

Hi JadorOnizuka,

In your config.php you need to focus mainly on 3 lines:

Code:
$dbuname = "";
$dbpass = "";
$dbname = "";
$dbuname is your database username. Your database username will be set out in the following format:

Code:
prefix_databasename
So, an example of what you need to put down if your database name is called goose and the username that you login to cpanel/phpmyadmin is techgfx: *information in this post is demostration purposes only and therefore is not real*

Code:
techgfx_goose
As you can see techgfx is my username to login to cpanel/phpmyadmin and my database name i created is called goose. Hence, techgfx_goose. So in your config.php you will put:

Code:
$dbname = "techgfx_goose";
Next we move on to $dbname. This is the database username for your database techgfx_goose.

For example, you might have created the user dingo with granted permissions to your database. So the user dingo would be set out as techgfx_dingo, its the same concept as techgfx_goose (your database name). So it would look like in your config.php:

Code:
$dbuname = "techgfx_dingo";
Finally $dbpass. When you created your user called dingo (relistically techgfx_dingo) you have to create a password for the user through cpanel/sql admin. This is the password we need. Lets say your password is smile069 You would put:

Code:
$dbpass = "smile069";
So basically things would look like this overall:

Code:
$dbuname = "techgfx_dingo";
$dbpass = "smile069";
$dbname = "techgfx_goose";
Also in your config.php you will see:

Code:
$sitekey
For this variable, you will see a random bunch of letters (30 characters) beside $sitekey. Change this to whatever you want for security purposes.

Thanks a lot for the help! But out of curiousity, is the stuff I put in config.php or is it something I have to put somewhere else so that files it to be true and not made up or do I just make it up and put it in there without worrying about establishing it anywhere else?

Hi JadorOnizuka,

Could you explain what you're trying to say again, i can't give you an accurate answer as i am not fully sure what you're trying to say. Thankyou.

Well, I edited the config.php file the way you told me to and when I goto the admin.php to login, I get some sort of error.

It says this:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:


I've uploaded phpMyAdmin to my webserver via FTP and I started reading the documentation when I saw something about editing one of those files and compiling something. I'm guessing I have to edit one of the phpMyAdmin files in order for this work...

Hi JadorOnizuka,

A CGI error is not related to PHP-Nuke. It is your server.

Yeah don't put nuke in your CGI-BIN. :roll:

Seriously, follow Techgfx's instructions on editing your config.php file. It is really simple. Just like editing a Micorsoft Word document. You can do that right? The config.php file is the only file you need to make any adjustments to. You will then need to populate your MySQL database that you created...using phpmyadmin. Which needs it's config file adjusted as well to connect to the database.

I didn't put the phpNuke in my CGI bin. I created a new folder on my FTP server and then uploaded the phpNuke files into that folder.

I was being facetious(ask Mighty Y what that means) hence the rolling eyes smiley...
If are lost when reading the directions here then you'll probabaly be lost if someone tries to explain as Tech has done on how to setup your config.php file.

Continue on from there clicking Next next next etc. It is really pretty simple.
