Hi,

You could try a search on this site (which would have brought up http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=20484.msg80910#msg80910 )

Spin,

Installing xoops on SME 6 is very simple.  

1. Create a mysql user with the access rights to create,modify, and delete mysql dbases.  The best tool to do this with is phpmyadmin (see Darrell May's contrib area).

2. Create an Ibay to house xoops, make it internet readable, set the group to everyone, and enable dynamic content.

3. Delete the index.html file from your xoops/html ibay dir.

3. Download the latest xoops tarball and expand in your xoops/html ibay dir.

4. Run a chmod -R 775 * and chown -R admin:shared * on the contents of the xoops/html dir from the shell

5. Open a web browser and surf to your xoops ibay and follow the xoops install wizard.

The entire process should take less than 30min.
