PHP-Nuke

[Fionavar]

Well to say the learning curve has been long would be an understatement. After a day of trying to set up a WAMP on my own, I found many that do it inherently. Uniserver is definitely the lightest and most reliable - yeah me!

 

Ok now the problem is I have no idea how to enable PHP-Nuke. I know it likely has something to do with the config.php for Nuke, but I am unsure how to set the info and to what. I am certain that since uniserver is consistent the info is likely staring me in the face, but I feel the need for help at this point. Here is what the config.php looks like:

 

$dbhost = "localhost";

$dbuname = "root";

$dbpass = "";

$dbname = "nuke";

$prefix = "nuke";

$user_prefix = "nuke";

$dbtype = "MySQL";

$sitekey = "S·kQSd5%W@Y62-dm29-.-39.3a8sUf+W9";

$gfx_chk = 0;

$subscription_url = "";

$admin_file = "admin";

$advanced_editor = 0;

 

/**********************************************************************/

/* You finished to configure the Database. Now you can change all    */

/* you want in the Administration Section.  To enter just launch    */

/* your web browser pointing it to http://xxxxxx.xxx/admin.php        */

/* (Change xxxxxx.xxx to your domain name, for example: phpnuke.org)  *

/*                                                                    */

/* Remember to go to Preferences section where you can configure your */

/* new site. In that menu you can change all you need to change.      */

/*                                                                    */

/* Congratulations! now you have an automated news portal!            */

/* Thanks for choose PHP-Nuke: The Future of the Web                  */

 

I suspect that lots of this can stay the same, but I am not sure where to point the rest. So I have a few questions and I REALLY hope someone can help me:

 

1) What are the changes that I need to make to the config.php to make it happy to run on my local box?

2) When the config.php is set, how do I actually use PHP-Nuke? I suspect it has something to do with pointing it to http://localhost/a/ as that is the emulation redirect uniserver is using.

3) Currently I have PHP-Nuke installed to UniServer3_2a\diskw\usr\local\PHP-Nuke - does that seem right?

 

The reason I am using PHP-Nuke is that I want to make the transition from maintaining a web-site that is html, but will eventually need database structuring. So why not try to learn this way. Installing on my local box will help me to tweak, play and LEARN. Then the fun part will be to make the transition to transferring to the site itself. One step at a time. Thanks again.

k, change this:

 

$dbhost = "localhost";

$dbuname = "root";

$dbpass = "root";

$dbname = "nuke";

 

Those are some of the needed variables. Make sure you have created the database and installed the script into the database using the installer. (If it has one )

 

No, ALL your web files should be in the W:/www folder! Not the /usr/local/ folder.

 

If your PHP Nuke installation is in the W:/www/php-nuke, then you can access it by going to http://localhost/php-nuke

 

The http://localhost/a/ is the Admin Panel where you start MySQL and do other admin functions.

 

Good Luck... make sure you read the manual/install doc for PHP Nuke if it has one....

Thanks so much! I finally got the Nuke to work - great! Now off to figure out how to make my own template I've found a few good editors - any suggestions anyone?

OK I have a new issue and I hope someone might have the time to help me. I have been getting some great support from those at Sothink about getting my dhtml menus to run on my site. I am testing this locally - hence using the Uniform Server on my local box - the problem is that I cannot get the code to run. I suspect this has to do with the fact of security in the Uniform Server, but they know it should work, but something locally is askew. I would be most grateful if someone might take a look at the link and perhaps help me with a work around?

[olajideolaolorun]

DHTML is not parsed so it is not a Uniform Server problem. Check with the maker of the script for requirements. If it uses PHP, check for the needed requirements.

 

For further help, please start a new topic under the Programming & Web Design Forum as this is a programming support and does not deal with the server itself.
