Hello Dev Info,

postnuke-0.7-howto.html is tested on SME 5 only. This one covers the "Rogue" release of PostNuke.

postnuke-0.6-howto.html is tested on SME 5 and ESSG 4.1.2. This one covers the "Mutant" release of PostNuke.

Category  Version    Title                               Author

postnuke-0.6-howto.html

PHP      5.0         Install/remove Post-Nuke ver. 0.7   J-L Boers
postnuke-0.7-howto.html

Until E-Smith/Mitel can host these 2 files, I have them available at :
http://boers.cc/downloads/postnuke-0.6-howto.html and
http://boers.cc/downloads/postnuke-0.7-howto.html

After that the links will be gone. I'll be taking down my production box for some 2.4/ext tests

I will be on the road for about 4 months and am maintaining my servers from cyber cafes so time is limited and expensive. Can you tell me of Mutant .7 will run on a standard version of 4.1.2 or does it require a PHP upgrade? TIA

Not tested, but I see no reason why it wouldn't. I'd follow both how-to's I have. Using the one for Mutant as your main guide. Look at the 0.7 one for Rogue to see what to do if something's different. I know that 4.1.2 will need at the least an e-smith-base update to allow for dynamic content in the primary i-bay.
I think php is up-to-date enough still on 4.1.2 for it to go. Even so, it's not difficult to upgrade it. There is a contributed how-to for that around somewhere.

I can tell you that both PostNuke 0.7 (Rogue) and 0.6.4 (Mutant) run quite well even on my ESSG 4.0.1 server, with MySQL 3.22.32 anf PHP 4.0.3pl1 as per Dan Brown's old webmail how-to.

I discovered PostNuke to be the cleaner version of the Nuke family CMS, and the easier to install and configure. Other CMS system, even Nuke type ones, gave me a problem or another during the setup process, while both PostNuke versions went up smooth as silk.

My installation choice was to overcome the I-Bay scheme, creating an Apache directory and alias to point to the PostNuke tree and the corresponding custom template fragment.

Meanwhile, I upgraded PHP to 4.0.6, compiling it with modular GD (with GIF), OCI8, Postgres, MySQL, PDFlib, GDBM, DBF and transparent SID support. These have been compiled on a ESSG 4.0.1 and packaged with RPM 3.0.5 (higher than original ESSG 4.0.1 version) extending Dan Brown's original specs. If someone is interested, I can share the RPMS on the 'net - cannot guarantee I'll managed in uploading them before 7 Jan 2002, but they will be available for sure after this date.
