phpBB2 port to PHP-NUKE Forum ?

Nuke Soldier Joined: Feb 10, 2003 Posts: 13 Location: USA

I guess I'm a bit lost here. From all of the posts that I have read, this sounds like the forum of choice for most of the 'nukers out there.

Unfortunately I think I'm missing something. Luckily, I took Tom's sage advice from his readme file and created a test nuke site with a test DB and tried to install this based on the instructions.

What I started with was a STOCK php-nuke 6.0 site and using phpMyAdmin I imported update-users.sql and phpBB2.sql. I assumed since the contents of these files were sql cmds, that this process was okay.

After I did that, I tried to go to step 3, but I'm getting sql errors now...I think I mucked it up pretty bad.

I really like the look of THIS site and would like as much as possible to have it functionally the same...but alas my ignorance of php and being brand new to the nuke world I believe is holding me back...

Again, I humbly submit this those of you much wiser than I

thanks!

If you are trying to install Tom's bbtonuke port you don't need to run any sql file, just upload the files, chmod the Forums folder to 777 and go to the forum's url http://yourwebsite.com/modules.php?name=Forums

Installing bbtonuke 2.0.6 from scratch:
---------------------------------------
1. Make sure you have a working Nuke 6 install and you have created a
regular user and the admin user. This version has been specially designed
to work with Nuke 6.0 and should not be used on an older version of Nuke.
2. In case you missed it before, make sure you have a compete backup
of all the files in your website directory and your database!
3. Delete all files in modules/Forums/* (have you read the warning above?)CHMOD Forums folder 777.
4. Copy all files from the bbtonuke release archive across to your website.
The directory structure was left in place in the release archive, so it
should be obvious where everything goes. Several regular nuke files will
be overwriten, so if you have made custom changes, you need to migrate those
manually. You'll have to decide which of the Nuke files you'll want to
overwrite, but please be warned that the mods in the files provided are
needed to make the forum work correctly.
5. Log into your wbesite with both your admin and regular user account.
6. Click on the forum link.
7. Fill in the blanks and select "Install new Forum Database".
8. Click on "Save Changes" and the system should take care of the rest and drop
you of in the forum once the install is completed.
9. If you did get an error and wish to report it, please provide as much detail as possible.

Taken straight from Tom's Port package.

Do you use some sort of FTP program liek Cute FTP or WS FTP Pro?

I believe in both of those programs, you just right click the folder on your server and there is an option to CHMOD it.
