Topic: php nuke 6.5 and sme 5.5

[philippe peltier]

I'm pretty bothered installing phpNUKE on my 5.5 :
I extracted it from the tar archive, put the content of the html dir in the html dir of my ibay, did whatever is asked in the INSTALL file - created database, tables,chmoded some files, edited config.php- and when I launch "http://myserver/mydomain.com/myibay/admin.php" i get a nice blank screen... ;-(
I tried in putting the files in /primary/html too, with the same result.

Didi somebody have the same problem and solved it ? (I installed the same phpNUKE on an apache/mysql windows server without any trouble...)

Did you setup the IBay to be able to run cgi/php?

I've been running php-Nuke since 5.0 (on SME 5.5) and am now up to 6.5 on SME 5.6. I haven't had ANY issues at all.

You *do* have php installed and the apache httpd.conf modified so that it will properly serve up .php pages, don't you?

Try putting a very simple file in your web-server's public root directory - the one that you point at when you enter your own server name as a URL.  In that file, put a file called test.php, which has only this in it:


If you have properly installed php, that file should tell you a lot about your installation.  If you don't see anything, you don't have php properly installed.

BTW I had someone mention to me that php-Nuke had some security concerns so I switched to post-Nuke, and have it running on my SME 5.5 server, at: http://midtoad.is-a-geek.org/

Well, I found the trick.. the doc tells to setup the dbhost in confog.php like this :
"http://myserver.mydomain.com' and in fact you need to set it up without "http://" for it to work, even if your server is online on the web..

That was all..
