PHPnuke info needed

[BAD-ASS-CJ]

First off is there any image possabilities in nuke, is there a way that my visiters could upload images to my site automaticly?
I have been playing around with the idea of getting "PHOTOPOST" but it is $150 and i dont have that kind of money right now so nukes price seems right.
I am trying to put together a website where people can show off pictures of there vehicles along with specs and info on them. Of course i dont want to have to upload all the pics my self, it would be nice if the visitors could do it automaticly.


SOoo PHPnuke Yes or no? or another suggestion?
I have also been looking at gallery and csgallery and didnt really like those very much.

Yup Yup. phpnuke with the My_eGallery mod installed will do this exactly. you can also install a phpBB mod for furms.

This Site (http://wizardry-realm.drazanfamily.com) has both installed.

You can also set the permissions to automatically be included to a catagory or you can preview before it's added.

EDIT: best of all they're both free :)

It says to use nuke you have to have some stuff:
- A Linux Box (http://www.linux.com) Installed and working properly.
- Apache Web Server (http://www.apache.org)
- PHP version 4.xx (mod_php) Apache module (http://www.php.net)
- MySQL database server (http://www.mysql.com)
Does powweb support this stuff?
I know i can get MySQL but i dont know what a "linux box" is nor do i no what an Apache web server is.

There are alot of PHPnuke sites hosted at Powweb.

Jade Dragons site is cool, she really has a nack for the Images, a real artist.

My site is phpnuke and hasnt had any(few) problems at Powweb.

So yes Powweb supports PHPnuke.

can someone tell me where i get this info that i need to change in the "config.php" file

# $prefix: Your Database table's prefix
# $user_prefix: Your Users' Database table's prefix (To share it)
# $dbtype: Your Database Server type. Supported servers are:
# MySQL, mSQL, PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL_local, ODBC,
# ODBC_Adabas, Interbase, and Sybase.
# Be sure to write it exactly as above, case SeNsItIvE!

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "root";
$dbpass = "";
$dbname = "nuke";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";

How much of this do i have to change? and where do i get the info?

[BAD-ASS-CJ]

Oh ya, also i uploaded nuke into the directory htdocs/nuke/

should i have uploaded straight into htdocs? without th nuke folder?

in ops under mysql you will see your server and database name. you should have created an admin/user for it at the time you signed up. write these down!

edit (using notepad) the config.php

$dbhost = "server.powweb.com";

$dbuname = "username";

$dbpass = "password";

$dbname = "name of mysql";

$prefix = "nuke";

$user_prefix = "nuke";

$dbtype = "MySQL"; = leave this alone for nuke6


save and upload.

go to phpMyadmin or which ever program you have for managing mysql. help.powweb.com has tutorials on the setups.

you will have to manually execute (upload) the SQL file for nuke. Once you have installed phpmyadmin or mysql-front you will use the interface to upload the nuke tables. (ask about this if your stuck)

Once the tables are loaded then go to http://www.yoursite.tld/folderifany/index.php

click on the HERE in your welcome message to create an admin sign in.

This is a thread where I posted tips on editing your theme & configuring your site to suit what you want.

you can load up nuke into whichever directory you want. just upload the files located inside the "html" folder.

If you want your site to begin with the nuke interface than you can upload straight to htdocs.

I have been told by mikem that you do not need to CHMOD the files to anything specific. However some mods do require temporary CHMOD's to enable their install. Don't worry about it unless you have trouble.
