Fantastico makes it fairly easy to install PHP-Nuke. I haven't installed PHP-Nuke for a while, but I seem to remember that all you really need is a username and password for yourself, as well as the directory you want to install it into. If you plan on having your whole site on PHP-Nuke, you install it to your root directory, which usually means leave the directory box blank.

I believe that's it. Fantastico was designed to make the installation of scripts relatively easy. If you haven't gotten the hang of it, though, don't worry. You'll catch on eventually.

do not use PHP-Nuke, use something like e107 or a better news management program... PHP-Nuke gets sloppy after installing MODs, Addon Modules, etc....

well for php Nuke installation of themes you have to download the theme you want then upload all of the files for that theme. You will have to go into the themes (which should already exist) folder and create a new folder named with the name of your theme, you then upload neccessary files and folders...Except stuff like readme or other stuff it tells you not to upload. You then go in admin section of site then preferences, then select the theme you just uploaded in the themes drop down menu.
I know thats a bit vague....but i had to rush it..sorry.
Also, about Nuke getting sloppy: I personally prefer Nuke, and I think it just depends on how well the site is managed...But thats just me :wink:

if you want to install phpnuke manually then follow these steps:

1) download the latest phpnuke (phpnuke.org)
2) using a ftp client make a directory like nuke on your server
3) upload your files to the server on the directory above
4) go to cpanel and create a database. assign a user in it
5) edit config.php and fill in the database name,the user name etc. (dbserver is localhost)
6) upload config.php to the directory /nuke or whatever on server
7) to create the tables of phpnuke you have 2ways:
a) download nukesql, upload it to the server and run nukesql.php (remember to delete these files afterwards) or

from phpmyadmin (through cpanel) upload the file nuke.sql
8) you are ready to go!

Fatal-Fatality,
I totally disagree dude. So long as you watch what you are doing and
make sure that A/ your site doesn't look sloppy and B/ plan ahead for
what you want then there is no reason why it should look so.

I use Nuke & Nuke Platinum. I like them and I personally think they look
heaps better than some of the other sites out there. Am not gonna belittle
anyone's sites, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

parpar26,
I have created a nice and easy tutorial (with screenshots) on setting up
your MySQL and phpMyAdmin for the first time. It is usually available by a
link, but that site is currently undergoing an overhaul due to change of
hosts lol. If you want a copy, just catch me on IM or drop me an email.

There are few things you MUST know to install phpnuke CMS (unless your web hosting provider offer you Auto PHP-Nuke installation feature with Fantastico or cPanel).

A. How to create a mySQL database and user using phpMyadmin
B. How to edit simple .php file.

RavenNuke (enhanced and most secure version of original php-nuke) is the easiest to install.

1. Download the complete RavenNuke package for free from above URL.
2. Upload all the files that are inside html folder(inside the above package) to your root(main) web server directory where you want to install the PHP-Nuke.
3. Create a MySQL database and user
4. Edit the config.php file (it's inside the root/main directory of phpnuke) which you already uploaded to your server. All you have to Edit the following 3 lines.

CODE

$dbuname = 'YOUR DATABASE NAME';
$dbpass = 'YOUR DATABASE PASS';
$dbname = 'YOUR DATABASE USER NAME';

5. Run installSQL.php from your web browser. The file is inside INSTALLATION folder which is in the root/main phpnuke directory too. So, type and run http://www.YOURWEBSITEURL.com/INSTALLATION/installSQL.php in your web browser.
6. Run setup.php from your web browser like the same way mentioned above.

During step#6, your have to configure your phpnuke. Suppose adding an admin account, password, site name, slogan etc.

I hope this small tutorial will help. If not, then here is more :
http://phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=PHP-Nu...stallation.html

If this does not help either then i guess you have to hire someone in order to install your PHP-Nuke CMS.

Have to say I tend to agree with the above, when chosing a web provider, I would suggest a backend website CMS such as Fantastico which has the modules in a menu, ready to be installed and uploaded onto the website.
