scoopy Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Need a push in right direction here. My goal is to create a php-nuke website, currently hosted in my local Linux box. Installed via RPM are: apache 1.3.26-6.1mdk (+ common, conf, manual, and modules) php 4.2.3-1mdk (+common) MySQL 3.23.52-1.3mdk (+client) webmin 0.990-6mdk Installed by untarring in new folder under /var/www/html: php-nuke 6.0 What I was sortof expecting here was to have somekind of site that I could open up in a browser and begin to configure/design, but what I get is a page of cryptic php code at index.php or admin.php, etc. Apache runs and produces its default page at localhost (or 127.0.0.1) MySQL is up and running [root@localhost /]# service mysql status mysqld (pid 2809) is running... 2808 (pid 2807) is running... As per the instructions that came with PHP-Nuke, I would edit the config.php file to suit my needs and then it should automatically create the needed database and to set up a superuser or admin. Here is the default config, which seems to me to be correct: $dbhost = "localhost"; $dbuname = "root"; $dbpass = ""; $dbname = "nuke"; $prefix = "nuke"; $user_prefix = "nuke"; $dbtype = "MySQL"; What do I need to do to get this admin.php page running correctly (I prefer not to tackle that manuel method of setup)?

treeg Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Nice basic tutorial at http://www.trylinuxsd.com/nuke/ (and info on the Admin account at http://www.trylinuxsd.com/nuke/pages/nuke9.html ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Mystified had the same issue a while back. Her apache configuration files didn't have the correct entry for PHP so they were not being completed correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted February 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Thanks treeg, a tutorial even I could follow. This pointed out that maybe I needed to install mod-php, which I did, and now it seems things are working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
