1. Download latest phpnuke from http://www.phpnuke.org/.

Primary download page: http://www.phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1

2. Decompress the package to a directory under your web document root directory (Only the files and directories under /upload sub folder).

For example, if your web document root directory is c:\inetpub, extract the zip package into c:\inetpub\phpnuke.

3. Prepare for the run-time environment

[ready] web server: The latest version of RaidenHTTPD.

[ready] php processor: The php processor is included in the latest version of RaidenHTTPD.

[required] mysql : The mysql is not included in RaidenHTTPD; you need to install manually it.

After you have set up mysql, you need to create a database/tables for phpnuke. Start c:/mysql/bin/mysql.exe with the following steps: steps

Note: 'source c:/inetpub/phpnuke/sql/nuke.sql;' executes a sql file in your phpnuke package. You should change your path if it is different than our example.

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Mysql\bin>mysql -u root
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 4 to server version: 3.23.58-max-nt

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> create database nuke;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> use nuke;

mysql> source c:/inetpub/phpnuke/sql/nuke.sql;

mysql> exit;

Now, you need to edit config.php under phpnuke/html directory. Please make sure the following values match your setup:

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "root";
$dbpass = "";
$dbname = "nuke";

 

4. Open an instance of Internet Explorer.

In the address bar, enter this url:

http://YOUR_SERVER_IP/phpnuke/html/admin.php.

If you do not see anything, please verify your config.php again. Now it is time to setup your admin account.

After your admin acount has been created, login the system with this account. You will see the security code on the screen and you repeat it again. This security code retyping step prevents bots from using your system.

Now, you can explore the features of phpnuke by trying out a lot of things, such as adding some news, downloading news, or customizing your phpnuke.

When you are done, click the home link to see what does your phpnuke portal site look like.

Now, your phpnuke is ready for use and you may ask some friends to visit it at the url of 'http://YOUR_SERVER_IP/phpnuke/html/'.

 

SECURITY TIPS for phpnuke:

1. Once you are done, you can remove the following items from your web directory or just simply move them outside of your web root directory.

c:\inetpub\phpnuke\*.txt
