            <description><![CDATA[ I tried php5.0, phorum3 and II6.0. Tough luck. I couldn&#039;t get past the login page after setting up everything . I even tried the hack. Didn&#039;t work. On the other hand, I went back to Php4 and everything started working fine. <br />
<br />
I guess phorum3 is not compatible with php5. However this doesn&#039;t mean anything is wrong with phorum3. Infact php5 has lot of problems. PHPBB won&#039;t work either. So my advice. Stay away from php5. <br />

$lHelpTitle        = &quot;Phorum Installation: Aide&quot;;<br />
$lCloseWindow      = &quot;Fermer.&quot;;<br />
$lStep1_help       = &quot;Tout d&#039;abord, bienvenue dans le script d&#039;installation de Phorum.  Je vais essayer de guider les novices dans l&#039;installation et l&#039;administration de Phorum.  Pour cette première étape, tout ce dont vous avez besoin, c&#039;est de choisir une langue d&#039;installation, et une langue d&#039;exécution.&quot;;<br />
$lStep2_help       = &quot;En haut de chaque écran d&#039;installation vous verrez des informations concernant les actions qui se sont produites lorsque vous avez appuyé sur le bouton.  Pour la dernière étape, phorum s&#039;est assuré que les les fichiers qu&#039;il écrira ont les bons droits. Si vous voyez &lt;font class=&#039;check_bad&#039;&gt;[ERR]&lt;/font&gt; à côté des forums.php ou settings dir, lancez chmod en faisant 777 ou 666 (les deux devraient fonctionner, mais il est probable que 666 ne fonctionne pas sur certains serveurs). Avec SmartFTP utilisez le clique droit sur le fichier ou le répertoire, choisissez ensuite les commandes \&quot;File Permissions\&quot; ou \&quot;Chmod\&quot;. Vous n&#039;êtes pas obligé de cliquer sur le bouton \&quot;Rafraîchir\&quot; de votre navigateur si vous êtes sûr d&#039;avoir correctement installé les droits d&#039;accès, si vous ne l&#039;êtes pas, Phorum revérifiera les droits d&#039;accès après que vous ayez rafraîchi votre navigateur.&lt;br \&gt;&lt;br \&gt; Après avoir déterminer les droits d&#039;accès, il est temps de choisir l&#039;interface aux bases de données de votre serveur.  Phorum supporte MySQL et PostgreSQL.  MySQL est le plus utlisé, mais je vous suggérerais de vérifier au près de votre hébergeur, si vous n&#039;êtes pas sûr du serveur qui est installé.&quot;;<br />
$lStep3_help       = &quot;Ok, maintenant vous allez devoir saisir les paramétrages de la base de données. Tous les hébergeurs n&#039;ont pas les mêmes réglages, habituellement, s&#039;il s&#039;agit d&#039;un domaine virtuel, les informations Mysql/Pgsql seront indiquées dans le panneau de commande.  &lt;br \&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nom du serveur&lt;/b&gt;, c&#039;est l&#039;adresse Internet ou IP de l&#039;ordinateur où la base de données est installée.  Si jamais vous n&#039;arriviez pas à la trouver sur votre panneau de commande ou dans l&#039;email envoyé par l&#039;hébergeur, alors il s&#039;agit d&#039;un hébergeur local (dans la plupart des cas).  Autrement il se peut que ce soit l&#039;IP a l&#039;intérieur de l&#039;hébergeur c&#039;est à dire 192.168.0.2.  Si l&#039;hebergeur vous signal que vous devez utliser un port autre que 3306, je vous recommande alors de saisir [serveur]:[port] (Ex. 192.168.0.2:2222).  &lt;br \&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nom de la BDD&lt;/b&gt; indique à phorum à quelle base de données particulière se connecter. Les bases de données doivent généralement être créer si votre hébergeur permet les bases de données multiples, vous pouvez lui donner le nom que vous voulez, mais assurez vous de mettre exactement le même nom que la base de données. Dans le cas contraire, si votre hébergeur ne permet pas les bases de données multiples, le nom sera dans la plupart des cas celui de votre login ou de votre domaine (Ex.  Si votre domain est aeonn.com, alors le nom de votre base de données serait aeonn_com).  &lt;br \&gt;&lt;b&gt;Utilisateur&lt;/b&gt; et &lt;b&gt;Mot de Passe&lt;/b&gt; sont généralement fournis par l&#039;hébergeur, sinon c&#039;est souvent votre les même que pour le FTP ou votre panneau de contrôle. &lt;br \&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nom de Table Pricipale&lt;/b&gt; est la table dans laquelle des informations phorum sont stockées.  Elle doit être unique (càd que deux tables ne doivent pas avoir le même nom.)&lt;br \&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mettre à jour&lt;/b&gt; Une case à cocher est nécessaire pour tous ceux qui veulent mettre à niveau leur précédente installation.&quot;;<br />
$lStep4_help       = &quot;Si vous êtes à l&#039;étape 3, c&#039;est que vous tenez la forme, votre base de données fonctionne, les tables sont créées.  Dans cette étape, nous allons créer un utilisateur qui aura un accès complet pour gérer les entités. Tous les champs sont plutôt clairs.  Si vous mettez à niveau depuis Phorum avec ce login (3.3 +) vous devriez entrer votre login et mot de passe, de telle sorte que phorum puisse vérifier si vous êtes l&#039;administrateur ou non, si le nom d&#039;utilisateur que vous avez entré est dans la base de données mais n&#039;est pas l&#039;administrateur, alors l&#039;installation donnera les droits administrateur à cet uilisateur avant de poursuivre, s&#039;il est déjà administrateur alors l&#039;installation poursuivera normalement.&quot;;<br />
$lStep5_help       = &quot;Denière étape avant de pouvoir commencer à ajouter des forums.  Là, vous devriez vérifier si &lt;b&gt;Phorum URL&lt;/b&gt; est  correct.   C&#039;est supposé être le répertoire de base de phorum (si quelqu&#039;un le tappait, il irait dans la liste de phorums ou la liste des sujets, pour qu&#039;il n&#039;y ait qu&#039;un seul forum).  &lt;br \&gt; Ensuite, si c&#039;est une nouvelle installation, vous devrez entrer le &lt;b&gt;Courriel de l&#039;administrateur&lt;/b&gt; qui deviendra une adresse email par défaut et un e-mail utilisateur spécifié plus tôt. L&#039;adresse email par defaut sera affichée en tant qu&#039;Admin E-mail à travers Phorum pour que les utlisateurs puissent vous envoyer des mails.  &lt;br \&gt;&lt;b&gt;Nom de l&#039;administrateur&lt;/b&gt; est uniquement visible pour les gens qui font de nouvelles installations, c&#039;est le nom qui sera montré au public dans les forums et profiles (Ex.: Administrateur, Votre vrai nom, votre pseudo, etc).  &lt;br \&gt; Si c&#039;est une mise à niveau, vous verrez le &lt;b&gt;Courriel de Phorum&lt;/b&gt; qui sera affiché en tant qu&#039;Admin E-mail à travers phorum pour que les utlisateurs puissent vous envoyer des mails. L&#039;admin e-mail et cet e-mail sont les mêmes; toutefois, vous pouvez le changer dès maintenant, et plus tard dans Admin.&quot;;<br />
// END Install Help text<br />

            <title>Easy Way to enhance aesthetics of your Phorums (4 replies)</title>

            <description><![CDATA[ This is just a quick post to those of you who may not be very familiar with the whole PHP business and have been intimidated at trying to edit any of these files into your site template. Though I&#039;ve just learned PHP a few weeks ago, I think this is simple enough that just about anyone can do. An introduction like this will probably be useful in future documentation.<br />
<br />
All you need to know is one line of PHP and how to find your way through html. Simply rename the necessary files (i.e. index.php, list.php, etc.) to something similar file_phorum.php, or something like that. So what you will end up with, for example, would be files named index_phorum.php, list_phorum.php, etc. Next, you&#039;ll want to open the HTML file that you want to insert the phorum functionality into. Find your place in the HTML and insert the following code:<br />
&lt;? include(&quot;file_phorum.php&quot;); ?&gt;<br />
This really works well if you have some sort of table set up so that the code can fit in one of the large cells and page formatting will be less likely to go down the tubes, so to speak. <br />
finally rename the HTML file to file.php, corresponding to the name of the phorum file (file_phorum.php) that you included. Basically your HTML file becomes the name of the original phorum file before it got renamed. Make sure this goes in the root folder of your phorum.<br />
Here&#039;s an example from start to finish:<br />
1) rename index.php to &quot;index_phorum.php&quot;<br />
2) Open your HTML file (say index.html) and insert the following code:<br />
&lt;? include (&quot;index_phorum.php&quot;); ?&gt;<br />
3) Save the HTML file and rename it to index.php<br />
4) Repeat 1-3 for the rest of the files and you&#039;re done! Your phorum will now be in your custom pages. You&#039;ll probably want to change all the phorum text and table color settings through the admin control panel to better fit your site.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps!<br />

I have created a favicon with the Phorum Logo.<br />
You can get it from my website:<br />
[<a href="http://b2d.com/downloads/phorum_favicon.ico" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">b2d.com</a>]<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the Microsoft info on favicons:<br />
<br />
How to Add a Shortcut Icon to a Web Page <br />
<br />
Shortcut icons in Microsoft® Internet Explorer are a new feature that you can use to display your logo or some other small graphic on the Favorites menu and Address bar. They have no special Web server requirements and are a great way to add brand recognition without requiring the user to download a custom version of Internet Explorer. <br />
<br />
Associate the Icon with Your Web Page<br />
<br />
After creating the icon, you must associate it with your Web page. One way is to save the icon with the default file name of favicon.ico in the root directory of your domain—for example, www.microsoft.com/favicon.ico. Each time your Web page is added to a user&#039;s favorites, Internet Explorer automatically searches for this file and places the icon next to all the favorites and quick links originating from your site.<br />
You can also associate the icon with your Web page by saving the icon with a file name other than favicon.ico and adding a line of HTML code in the head section of your Web document. The line of code includes a link tag that specifies the location and name of the file. You can include this link tag on a per-page basis.<br />
<br />
&lt;HEAD&gt;<br />
  &lt;LINK REL=&quot;SHORTCUT ICON&quot; HREF=&quot;[<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/myicon.ico&quot;&gt" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.mydomain.com</a>];<br />
  &lt;TITLE&gt;My Title&lt;/TITLE&gt;<br />
&lt;/HEAD&gt;<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ I had an idea this afternoon.  I find it hard to relate the HTML settings column names to the actual webpage (e.g. where on the page is &quot;Default Table Head Font Color&quot;).<br />
<br />
I&#039;m offering to do a GIF which contains the HTML settings page from the admin section of Phorum and draw lines from each field to a sample snapshot of a Phorum page.<br />
<br />
Does such a graphic already exist?  If not, I&#039;ll create one as part of the how-to I&#039;m writing.]]></description>

<br />
I just made a french translation of the Windows installation instructions for a friend of mine and thought I could post it here. Please contact me in case of mistake and I will amend it. I hope the accentuated characters will come through!<br />
<br />
Marc<br />
<br />
-----------------------<br />
<br />
La procédure d&#039;installation est conçue pour vous aider à installer et démarrer votre forum rapidement. On suppose ici que vous travaillez sous Windows NT ou 2000 et que IIS est actif.<br />
<br />
Je tiens à préciser que je ne tiens absolument pas compte des questions de sécurité. Je considère qu&#039;une fois que nous aurez réussi à faire fonctionner Phorum dans un environnement d&#039;essai et que vous vous sentirez plus à l&#039;aise, il vous sera plus facile de tout reprendre pour adapter la sécurité à vos besoins. Veuillez noter que les documents d&#039;installation de PHP, MySQL et Phorum consacrent tous de nombreuses pages à la sécurité. Nous vous conseillons de les lire attentivement si vous décidez d&#039;utiliser sérieusement Phorum.<br />
<br />
1. Installez PHP : allez sur le site [<a href="http://www.php.net" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.php.net</a>] et téléchargez la dernière version stable. La version PHP pour Windows est fournie sous forme de zip ou de programme d&#039;installation Windows. Téléchargez plutôt ce programme d&#039;installation, car cela facilite la configuration de l&#039;environnement dont nous parlons.<br />
Le programme d&#039;installation est un fichier .exe. Exécutez-le d&#039;un double-clic. Une fois l&#039;installation terminée, PHP est entièrement installé et aucune autre opération n&#039;est nécessaire.<br />
<br />
2. Installer MySQL : allez sur le site [<a href="http://www.mysql.com" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.mysql.com</a>] et téléchargez la dernière version stable pour Windows. Ce sera un fichier .zip. Extrayez son contenu dans un répertoire vide afin d&#039;éviter d&#039;avoir une pléthore de fichiers sur votre bureau. Cliquez deux fois sur setup.exe pour lancer le programme d&#039;installation. Une fois le processus terminé, MySQL est installé sur votre machine.<br />
Mais ce n&#039;est pas tout. Ilvous faut maintenant installer MySQL en tant que service Windows, sauf si vous souhaitez le démarrer et l&#039;arrêter à chaque fois avec uen interface en ligne de commande. Pour ce faire, ouvrez une fenêtre DOS (Menu démarrer--&gt;Programmes--&gt;Accessoires--&gt;Invite de commande) et entrez la commande<br />
C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --install<br />
Oui, on suppose ici que vous installez MySQL directement sur votre lecteur C:. Si vous avez des problèmes à cette étape, veuillez lise la documentation de MySQL, disponible à l&#039;adresse [<a href="http://www.mysql.com/documentation/index.html" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.mysql.com</a>].<br />
Vous pouvez télécharger ces documents sous la forme de fichiers html ou les consulter en ligne. La partie qui concerne les services Windows se trouve au paragaphe &quot;2.6.2.2 Starting MySQL on Windows NT or Windows 2000&quot;<br />
Une fois que MySQL est installé comme service, ouvrez le panneau de configuration des services (Menu Démarrer--&gt;Paramètres--&gt;Panneau de configuration-- &gt;outils d&#039;administration--&gt;Services). les services sotn liséts par ordre alphabétique. Recherchez celui appelé MySQL (vous le voyez bien ?), cliquezz deux fois dessus pour l&#039;ouvrir et le démarrer. Vous pouvez le configurer pour qu&#039;il démarre à chaque démarrage de l&#039;ordinateur, sinon vous  devrez le mettre en route manuellement à chaque fois.<br />
<br />
3. Installez phpmyadmin : Il s&#039;agit d&#039;une simple application qui vous permet de gérer MySQL avec une interface graphique (et tous les utilisateurs de Windows adornt les interfaces graphiques). Vous pouvez le télécharger à l&#039;adresse [<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">sourceforge.net</a>]<br />
Il s&#039;agit d&#039;un fichier .zip qui se décompresse dans un dossier que vous devez placer sur votre serveur web. Je  le place pour ma part dans C:\InetPub\wwwroot\PHP\, qui est le répertoire que l&#039;utilise pour toutes mes applications Web PHP. L&#039;appel avec le navigateur est alors (en supposant que votre web se trouve dans wwwroot)<br />
[<a href="http://host/PHP/phpmyadmin/index.php" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">host</a>]<br />
Si vous travaillez sur votre client local, &quot;host&quot; sera &quot;localhost&quot;. Sinon, c&#039;est le nom de domaine Web ou l&#039;adresse IP.<br />
<br />
4. Créez une pabse de données pour Phorum : Ouvrez phpmysqladmin/index.php dans votre navigateur comme précédemment. La première option à gauche, dans &quot;MySQL&quot;, est &quot;Créer une nouvelle base de données&quot;. Entrez un nom dans le champ, par exemple &quot;PhorumTest&quot; et appuyez sur le bouton &quot;Créer&quot;. Votre base de données apparaît alors dan la liste des bases de données dans la colonne à l&#039;extrême gauche. C&#039;est tout. Fermez le navigateur. Ne vous souciez pas de créer des tables ou quoi que ce soit d&#039;autre.<br />
<br />
5. C&#039;est ici qu&#039;intervient Phorum : Téléchargez la dernière version stable de Phorum depuis [<a href="http://www.phorum.org/download.php" target="_blank" >www.phorum.org</a>]<br />
C&#039;est encore un zip qui s&#039;ouvre dans un dossier, par exemple phorum-3.3.1a.zip. Je préfère le renommer pour lui donner un nom plus court, par exemple phorum331. Placez le dossier dans le serveur Web comme à l&#039;étape 3, disons C:\InetPub\wwwroot\PHP\phorum331. Démarrez alors l&#039;installation de phorum en ouvrant le fichier [<a href="http://host/PHP/phorum331/admin/index.php" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">host</a>] dans votre navigateur, et lancer le script d&#039;instalaltion comme il est décrit dans le fichier install.txt de Phorum. Entrez comme hôte &quot;localhost&quot;, votre domaine de serveur web ou l&#039;adresse IP, et &quot;PhorumTest&quot; (ou le nom que vous avez choisi) comme nom de la base de données. Ne vous inquiétez pas des questions d&#039;utilisateurs et de mots de passe pour la base de données, ce n&#039;est qu&#039;un test, non? Mais choisissez pour vous un nom d&#039;administrateur et un mot de passe.<br />
<br />
6. Enfin, le &quot;hack&quot; IIS : Le hack est décrit dans la FAQ de Phorum, mais voici l&#039;essentiel. Ouvrez votre éditeur de texte et ouvrez le fichier Phorum331/admin/login.php. Ce fichier contient deux lignes de code <br />
header(&quot;Location: $PHP_SELF&quot;);<br />
Elles doivent se trouver aux lignes 12 et 38. Si vous ne les voyez pas, cherchez avec votre éditeur.<br />
Remplacez chacune de ces lignes par le code suivant :<br />
print &#039;&lt;head&gt;&lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;refresh&quot; content=&quot;0;URL=index.php&quot;&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&#039;; exit();<br />
Voilà, vous savez maintenant à quoi ressemble un &quot;hack&quot;.<br />
<br />
7. À partir de là, tout doit bien se passer : ouvrez le fichier [<a href="http://host/PHP/phorum331/admin/index.php" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">host</a>] dans votre navigateur. On vous demande votre login d&#039;administrateur et votre mot de passe. Si vous les entrez et obtenez une erreur quand vous appyez sur le bouton login, c&#039;est que le hack n&#039;a pas été correctement pris en compte. Sinon, les menus d&#039;administration de Phorum apparaissent.<br />
<br />
*** Problèmes de sécurité ***<br />
je ne répèterai jamais assez que ces instructions ignorent complètement les questions de sécurité. L&#039;objectif est ici de vous permettre de travailer avec Phorum avec un minimum de complications. pour exploiter un forum réel, vous devrez revenir pour garantir la sécurité dans MySQL et Phorum.<br />
<br />
Un dernier point à propos de la sécurité. Selon votre instalaltion de Windows, il se peut qu&#039;après avoir été déplacés dans le serveur web, les dossiers phpmyadmin et phorum ne disposent plus de paramètres d&#039;accès suffisants. L&#039;instalaltion de l&#039;application semblera sedérouler convenablement, mais elle ne marchera pas, car elle n&#039;aura pas le droit de lire ou d&#039;écrire certains fichiers.<br />
On peut corriger ce problème en permettant aux dossiers de l&#039;application d&#039;hériter des permissions de leurs dossiers parents (C:\InetPub\wwwroot\PHP dans mon exemple). Windows vous permet de transmettre les permissions depuis les dossiers parents au profit de leurs sous-dossiers.<br />
Faites un clic droit sur un dossier, pusi sélectionnez Propriétés--&gt;Sécurité. Cliquez sur &#039;&quot;Avancé&quot;, ce qui ouvre une fenêtre comportant deux cases d&#039;option correspondant à l&#039;héritage et à la propagation (celle du haut, l&#039;héritage, ets généralement cochée). Elles vous permettent de transférer les permissions  en fonction de vos besoins. Attention, cependant, les permissions sont transmises à TOUS les sous-dossiers, pas seulement à ceux que vous voulez modifier.<br />
Le niveau supérieur du serveur Web possède généralement les permissions dont vous avez besoins. Dans mon exemple, le dossier PHP hériterait des permissions de wwwroot, puis phpmyadmin et phorum331 hériteraient de PHP. Je ne transmettrais pas les permissions depuis wwwroot, car il peut y avoir d&#039;autres sous-dossiers dont je ne veux pas modifier les permissions.)]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Using Phorum with Mailman and Plesk 2.5 HOWTO<br />
<br />
First let me say I cannot be responsible for any problems that arise from the use of these guidelines. They worked for me, but I am not a Linux or security expert so there may be problems I am have not noticed.<br />
<br />
1) follow the Mailman HOWTO found at:<br />
[<a href="http://forum.plesk.com/showthread.php?s=5e6d43e6e5ae5e91c492c35800e9c055&amp;threadid=124&amp;highlight=Mailman+HOWTO" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">forum.plesk.com</a>]<br />
<br />
This HOWTO is excellent and works well. Follow it to a &quot;T&quot; and it will work.<br />
<br />
2) Configure Mailman for your needs and ensure it works.<br />
<br />
3) Get and install Phorum:<br />
[<a href="http://www.phorum.org/download.php" target="_blank" >www.phorum.org</a>]<br />
<br />
Follow the instructions in the /docs directory for the install. The setup script<br />
works great. Please use the &quot;secure&quot; script for the sake of your server. :-)<br />
<br />
You may also want to consult the HOWTO by Brian Moon at:<br />
[<a href="http://www.phorum.org/support/read.php?f=5&amp;i=216&amp;t=3" target="_blank" >www.phorum.org</a>]<br />
<br />
**** Side note<br />
I set Mailman so that all user subscriptions must be approved and<br />
I have left the Phorum open to public posting but it will be placed in a members only area so only members can enter the phorum area to post. You may want to do things differently and will have to play with the settings to get things right.<br />
<br />
4) In the &quot;Edit Forum:&quot; area of the Phorum admin set things the way you want. I used &quot;Public&quot; for security and no moderator.<br />
<br />
The &quot;Email All Posts To:&quot; and &quot;Return Email Address:&quot; need to be the Eamil address you use to send posts to the mail list.<br />
<br />
5) The .qmail files are automatically generated by a script you will find in the Mailman HOWTO mentioned above. You will need to be sure the .qmail file you post to has CHMOD 600. In this file put on the first line:<br />
|preline /usr/local/mailman/mail/wrapper post post_to_user_name<br />
<br />
On the second line put:<br />
|preline /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/path_to_phorum/scripts/phorummail.php forum=1 path=/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/path_to_phorum<br />
<br />
**** Note<br />
1)Each &quot;|preline&quot; needs to be on it&#039;s own line not multiple lines!<br />
2) No trailing &quot;/&quot;<br />
<br />
6) The first line of phorummail.php should read:<br />
#!/usr/local/bin/php -q<br />
<br />
7) you will have to make a sym link from /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock to<br />
/tmp/mysql.sock<br />
<br />
Well I think that is it. Thanks to everyone that helped:<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ &lt;HTML&gt;Ive come up with help pop-ups for new installation script, it consists of 5 steps, and can be found in cvs.<br />
<br />
Step 1:<br />
<br />
First off, welcome to Phourm Installation Script.  I will try guiding a novice Phorum Admin through installation.  All you need to on the 1st step is to choose the language of Installation, and my language as well.<br />
<br />
Step 2:<br />
At the top of each installation screen you will see information on the actions that took place after you hit the button.  On last step, phorum made sure that permissions of the files that phorum will write to are correct.  If you see &lt;font class=&#039;check_bad&#039;&gt;[BAD]&lt;/font&gt; next to the forums.php or settings dir, you have to CHMOD it 777 or 666 (any should work, but 666 might not work on some servers).  It is usually done with FTP client such as SmartFTP by right clicking on the file/dir and choosing \&quot;File Permissions\&quot; or \&quot;Chmod\&quot; command.  You don&#039;t have to push \&quot;Refresh\&quot; button of your browser if you are sure to set correct permissions, but if you are not sure, Phorum will recheck the permissions after you refresh your browser.&lt;br \&gt;&lt;br \&gt; After you fixed permissions, it is time to choose the database interface your server has.  Phorum supports MySQL and PostgreSQL.  MySQL is the most wide used, but I would suggest checking with your hosting provider, if you are not sure which one your server has installed.<br />
<br />
Step 3:<br />
<br />
Ok, here you will have to enter your database information.  Different hosting companies have different setups, usually, if its virutal hosting, the Mysql/Pgsql information will be provided in their control pannel.  &lt;br \&gt;&lt;b&gt;Server Name&lt;/b&gt; is the hostname or ip of the computer that has Database installed.  If you couldn&#039;t find it in your control pannel or in the registration email that was sent from the host, its most likely localhost.  Otherwise its going to be ip inside the host i.e 192.168.0.2.  If host notified you that you have to use a port other than 3306, I reccomend that you will enter it too, such as [hostname]:[port] (Ex. 192.168.0.2:2222).  &lt;br \&gt;&lt;b&gt;Database&lt;/b&gt; field tells phorum to which particular database to connect. Database usually have to be created if your host allows multiple databases, you can name it anything you want, and make sure you put exact name of that database.  If your host doesn&#039;t allow multiple databases, it will most likely be ether same as your login name or same as your domain name (Ex.  If your domain is aeonn.com, your database name would be aeonn_com).  &lt;br \&gt;&lt;b&gt;Username&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Password&lt;/b&gt; are usually supplied by the host, otherwise they are most likely be your ftp/control pannel user and password. &lt;br \&gt;&lt;b&gt;Main Table Name&lt;/b&gt; is the table where main phorum information is will be stored.  It has to be unique (i.e. there can&#039;t other table with the same name.)&lt;br \&gt;&lt;b&gt;Upgrade&lt;/b&gt; Checkbox is required for eveyone who is upgrading from preveous installations.<br />
<br />
Step 4:<br />
<br />
If you got past Step 3, you are in good shape, your database is working, tables are created.  In this step we will create a user who will have full access to admin features.  All fields are pretty obvious.  If you are upgrading from phorum with user login (3.3 +) you might want to enter your Username and Password, so phorum could check if you are the admin or not, if user you entered is in database, but not admin, Installation will make him one, if he is an admin, Installation will not worry about admins.<br />
<br />
Step 5:<br />
<br />
Last step before you can start adding forums/enabling features.  Here, you should check if the &lt;b&gt;Phorum URL&lt;/b&gt; is correct.  It suppose to be the base dir of phorum (if person types it, he would get to the list of phorums or to the list of topics, if it happens to have only one forum).  &lt;br \&gt;Then, if its new install you will need to enter &lt;b&gt;Admin Email Address&lt;/b&gt; which will become default email and an e-mail address for user specified earlier. Default email Address will be shown as Admin E-mail throughout the phorum for users to have ability to e-mail you.  &lt;br \&gt;&lt;b&gt;Display Name&lt;/b&gt; which is also visible only for people who are doing fresh install is the name which will be shown to public in forums and in profile (Ex.: Administrator, Your real name, your nick, etc).  &lt;br \&gt;If it&#039;s an upgrade, you will see &lt;b&gt;Phorum Email Address&lt;/b&gt; will be shown as Admin E-mail throughout the phorum for users to have ability to e-mail you. It is assumed that admin e-mail and this e-mail are the same; however, you may change it right now, and later in admin.<br />
<br />
<br />
Any changes are welcome before we release new lang to be translated.&lt;/HTML&gt;<br />
<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ Note: I posted this before, but it was buried amoungst many other posts, and I thought giving it a title of its own might help someone.<br />
<br />
I think a lot of the problems with phorum people have is getting that connection to MySQL. There is very little to do other than that. (It goes without saying that a php and MySQL installation is a requesite here!)<br />
<br />
Here is how I do it:<br />
<br />
--------------Step 1---------------<br />
# After the gzip and untarring of the source, I moved the phorum to my webspace and:<br />
<br />
mv phorum-3.3.2a phorum<br />
<br />
cd phorum<br />
<br />
chmod 755 scripts/secure<br />
<br />
scripts/secure<br />
<br />
# There is not much here to deal with, but perhaps the best thing is to rename the default &quot;admin&quot; to something else - anything else. Everything else I left default.<br />
<br />
--------------Step2---------------<br />
# Step a - Get into MySQL:<br />
usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p<br />
password:<br />
<br />
# Step b:<br />
CREATE DATABASE phorum;<br />
USE phorum;<br />
<br />
# Step c;<br />
grant <br />
select, insert, update, create, alter, delete, drop<br />
on<br />
phorum<br />
to<br />
root<br />
identified by<br />
&#039;your password here&#039;;<br />
<br />
--------------Step 3---------------<br />
# Open your web browser and go to:<br />
<br />
[<a href="http://yoursite.com/phorum/" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">yoursite.com</a>] [admin or whatever you named this] index.php<br />
<br />
Enter Your Database Settings:<br />
Database - Server Name: localhost<br />
Database - Name: phorum<br />
Database - User Name: root<br />
Database - Password: &#039;your password here&#039;<br />
Phorum - Main Table Name: forums<br />
<br />
# You&#039;re almost there:<br />
Create the admin user:<br />
User Name: whatever<br />
Password: whatever<br />
<br />
That should get your Phorum up and running and from there you can toy around with it until you get comfortable. It might be noted that I put an index.html file into the phorum and the admin folders for security&#039;s sake. That way if someone trys to hit those open folders with a web browser they are not greeted with an open list of the folder contents.<br />
<br />
Enjoy,<br />
<br />

            <title>Phorum Roadmap (5 replies)</title>
            <link>https://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?5,45316,45316#msg-45316</link>
            <description><![CDATA[ I have a suggestion.<br />
<br />
Would it be possible to include a docs/roadmap.txt file with Phorum?<br />
<br />
This would contain the status of features planned for Phorum and a rough timeline as well as &quot;wish list&quot; features.<br />
<br />
The reasons for this include:<br />
- it would provide an insight into the future development of Phorum for those of us who have followed the project over the years.  <br />
- it would help coordinate the various groups of hackers that are working on various features, often without knowing if the development team are planning on doing it themselves.<br />
- posts on the support forum asking if feature X is being implemented could be referred to the roadmap.  (If it is not even in the wish list then they will know it is not going to happen anytime soon)<br />
-finally, it would give the Phorum community something to look forward to! <br />
<br />
By all means put a disclaimer at the top stating you won&#039;t be held to any of the promises in the document ;-)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
-- begin example roadmap.txt<br />
3.3.3 - estimated date of first release candidate: April 2002<br />
- bug fixes: none planned<br />
- new features: <br />
    User ability to edit their posts<br />
    &quot;Views&quot; hack merged into the main codebase<br />
<br />
3.3.4 - estimated date of first release candidate: May 2002<br />
- bug fixes: none planned<br />
- new features: <br />
    User ability to preview their posts before sending<br />
    Much better documentation<br />
<br />
Wishlist<br />
(the following features are planned for the future but are not being actively worked on)<br />
- Spellcheck support<br />
     status: pending a set of good, freely available dictionaries in multiple languages.<br />
- Custom fields in the user profiles, managed via the admin system.  <br />
     status: nobody is working on this yet, any volunteers?<br />
- Javascript console to automatically insert Phorumcode such as images, boldtext etc.<br />
     status: work is being done on this by the community but no stable hack yet exists - see the Hackers Forum for more details<br />
-- end example roadmap.txt<br />
<br />
Any thoughts? (other than the fact that I am being really cheeky by writing a sample roadmap for the dev team ;-)   )<br />

Is this feature just for making additional administrative users, or can I somehow limit my Phorum to registered users?<br />
