Hello All!

I'm trying to setup PHPNuke. I created the database & imported the mysql.txt file in so it could create the tables.

Problem 1: The admin.php is not where the documentation said it would be.

Problem 2: When I do find and launch the admin.php file it states that there is a problem w/ the MySQL server. I know that I name every correctly in the config.php file, and that there aren't any permissions issues.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would personally say screw php nuke because it gets hacked alot, and isnt as powerful as Xoops http://www.xoops.org ! check it out!! installs on its own after you give it some information, installs its own MySQL tables and the administration page is where the documentation says it is!!!

Thanks. I'll check it out. I was also playing around phpbb2, it was easy to install.

phpbb is a forums engine not a CMS Xoops has a built in one called Newbb, not as advanced but still it has one PM me at circuit256 (AIM) or kickassamd@hotmail.com (MSN) if you need help or hosting (free)!

that's alot guy! I got Xoops and been playing around w/ it for hrs... Yes, it was pretty easy to install too. I did manage to break it once already. I had to go into php mysql admin to change one of the fields in a table. I happen to put a theme in their and then after that the main page would not come up. So, I change the theme back to the default one. It was pretty simple so far to understand the tables and the fields layout. I want now is to change the site itself the look of it.

I'm using godaddy right now for my domain & webhost.

Thanks again!

for me i like PHP-nuke its easy. But if u want to stick with it then config the file, u must of config its wrong or something but im gunna try xoops. Seems very efficent.
