Under no circumstances would I recommend you install anything like phpnuke on a Donhost server.

It's sure to go beyond what Donhost consider to be "normal" loads and they're as likely to delete / cancel or otherwise render your account unusable.

You're also advised to look around at a few other options for Nuke liks CMS (content management systems)... There's a big debate as to which is better supported, written, etc...

ty for your "advice" but lets stay on topic plz ty.

If you install any CMS system on a Donhost server you will likely go through hell and suffer all or some of the "fun" that often occurs as a result...

If you can't accept some friendly advice... then, good luck to you...

As for your request as to how to install PHP Nuke... why not check around for some of the forums that support it... sourceforge, etc... there's lots of info' out there.

Read what you said. "As for your request as to how to install PHP Nuke". That was the part I wanted to know. The rest was off topic. I know all about donhost and what other have said about it. I am looking at other forums right now. What I want is someone who has already tried to install it (I'd profer a donhost user).

By the way i wasnt trying to be rude...

Well good luck with it anyways... :)

I installed it on one, it was pretty easy.

Just edit the config.php in notepad

Use 'localhost' as the mysql server and you account name as the database name, then just your normal username and password.

Once you have done that open the .sql file that comes with it into notepad and then highlight and cut the contents.

Goto your control panel then mysql adminsitrator then run sql and past the contents in the box then click run sql.

And thats it! just upload the files as they are to your webspace and your done! dead easy :)

Hello

I can guess what is your problem.

1- Upload contents of html directory to destination directory.
2- Use nuke.sql file to create tables.
3- Edit your config file with database info
4- Now first

chmod 666 * -R

5- Now chmod all directories one by one

chmod 777 dir1

6- http://domain/path to nuke/admin.php

(Read install.txt file too)

But I strongly, strongly suggest you to use postnuke instead of phpnuke. It has a very good install program that does eveything for you. It uses less server load too. http://postnuke.com

Hi Mike from ADEhost here,

Not to be rude, but your better off with postnuke, security is the main reason, and resources usage is the second.

( also easy to install )

But the choice is yours.

I've installed 4 versions of nuke successfully on 4 different servers, including my local mechine running apache and Win2k pro.

5- Now chmod all directories one by one

chmod 777 dir1



I would highly recommend against this part, and in 5.5 the file manager is no longer implemented due to many security holes. Having all your directories as 777, is only inviting disaster. However, if you have a module that needs to write to certian directories, then have only those dirs 777.

I have my files chmod to 755 and they run just fine (mine didn't work at 666). but be sure your config.php is chmod 777, and after you configure your nuke, take take it back to 755 so nobody else can channge your config with a hack.

The install guide (for 5.5) is very useless and unhelpful. I followed it line by line, and it didnt work, so I had to do what made the most sense.

The nukesupport forums make a great read to keep up on some latest holes, fixes, etc (I posted a FAQ fix there). However many questions can be solved by searching first.

If you still want a little help setting up nuke, feel free to PM me, and I'll walk you through it ;). Hopefully you have phpMyAdmin on your account.

i used to have a phpnuke on a donhost reseller and they never said anything about it

In fact that 777 matter surprised me too. But this is what they have stated in their installation guide.

By the way I tested "PHPNuke", "Postnuke" and "MyPHPNuke" on my personal server and it seesm MyPHPNuke uses a very high load (Something about 2 or 3 times of postnuke) and PHPNuke does not seem to be coded very well.

Among them postnuke behaviours better.

Do you agree with my test results?

Thanks guys... Alright ill consider postnuke. I can't instal phpnuke right now anyways for reasons out of my control . :eek:

I can concur that your results of postnuke are correct. the most important aspect ( to me ) is the security concerns. Which from what I've seen ( also used ) is a much faster reply and fix than the other 2.

Now on processor usage, post nuke will start to really shine when you hit 60+ concurent users. within a test system I have seen 14% difference to as high 41% ( 230 users ) difference ( in favor of postnuke.
