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: 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.
