SMF-Nuke New InstallYou will need to have a webhost that has PHP and MySQL installed. Once you have that, in MySQL, create a database
for your SMF-Nuke tables. You will need the following info to complete your SMF-Nuke installation:
- Database Hostname
- Database Name
- Database UserName
- Database User Password
- Download SMF 1.1.4 from the Simple Machines Forum Download page: Click Here
- In the root of your install, create a directory named: forum
- Upload the SMF files to the forum directory
- CHMOD (change permissions for) the following files to 777 (fully writeable, sometimes 755 on some hosts)
- forum/attachments
- forum/avatars
- forum/Packages
- forum/Packages/installed.list
- forum/Packages/server.list
- forum/Smileys
- forum/Themes
- forum/agreement.txt
- forum/Settings.php
- forum/Settings_bak.php
- Upload the SMF-Nuke files to your root directory (except the nuke.sql file)
- Go here using your web browser: www.YourSiteURL.com/forum/install.php
- If all the folders above were properly set to 777, the first empty input should be asking for Forum Name.
- If not, make sure the above files are all set to 777 and refresh the page.
- When all permissions are properly set to 777, continue filling in the boxes for the install.
- When you see the Congratulations page, SMF database tables are properly installed.
- Also, the Nuke database tables are already installed, and your site is basically ready to use.
- Next, you will need to modify the SMF Themes you wish to use.
- Themes are located in the forum/Themes folder
- Follow the link on the Home Page here to find the Theme modifications.
