Why i cannot install php_nuke using the install script?

1.If you mean the phpnuke you uploaded doesn't install properly it can be because:
*You havn't created a database for you r phpnuke
*You havn't edited your config.php properly

SO your nuke file can't communicate with your database correctly.

2.If you are meaning you can't install phpnuke via cpanel addon script you may just need to retry .

Im not sure which one of these two applies to you?? Please explain your self or tell us how you are installing phpnuke. (eg. via cpanel or uploading a nuke package)

I install it via cpanel addon script..

Then install it to a folder you have not already created, as it says in the instructions fot the install of php-nuke. You may just need to try again as it cud of just been a server problem.

By the way, I suggest that you go to Nuke code and download the chatserved patched 2.5 phpnuke 7.4.
Beacuse it has the latest security patches and addons. IT IS WAY MORE SECURE THEN PHPNUKE 6.8 IN THE CPANEL SCRIPTS.

i happened to me once and i didn't know why. But i figured it out that i didn't have enough space.. nuke is like 12 mb right??

oh well, a few more questions.. after download the new patch of php-nuke.. is there something more to edit or configure other than the config.php ?

Na just edit config.php with suitable variables which match the correct database you hav created. Then just go to the directory where you uploaded php-nuke and create your god user.

Thats it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy a much more secure and enhanced php-nuke!!

uhmm. sorry if im so noob.. but as I was trying to install it and create a database it didnt still work... but then as i was reading some sort of tutorial.. it says

Create a database that will contain the PHP-Nuke tables. The name of the database should be the same name as the one you entered in config.php (see Section 3.7):

mysqladmin create nuke



To populate the database, you have to run the nuke.sql file "through" mysql. Change to the sql directory and do from the command line:

mysql -h dbhost -u dbuname -p dbname < nuke.sql



where dbhost, dbuname and dbname are the database host, database username and database name, exactly as entered in config.php. Just as you import nuke.sql, you can import any other MySQL dump file (see also Section 3.4.2).

uhmm.. i was confused.. is it just to upload PHp-Nuke.. create database.... or something more to do ?

I believe it's caling for you to create a table, which you clearly understand. The other part is one I've never understood how to make work on phpMyAdmin; it requires you to import a sql file, and I don't even know if you can do that.
