Ok, so you want PHP-Nuke on your website. First off, your going to have to make sure you have the following avaible to use:

- PHP
- About 20 MB of Space
- 1 MySQL Database

Once you are sure you have all of those, go ahead and download PHP-Nuke from http://www.phpnuke.org, or the http://www.nukecops.com beta bundle from NukeCops (which is an advanced version of nuke with more features, but is prone to errors). Unzip the package, and upload the contents of the "html" folder to your server.

Next, create a database, and fill it up using the nuke.sql file in the SQL directory. (it's above the HTML directory). Then, open up "config.php" (in your HTML directory) in note pad. Find where this is mentioned:

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "";
$dbpass = "";
$dbname = "";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "";
$sitekey = "SdFk*fa28367-dm56w69.3a2fDS+e9";

Change $dbuname to your database user name, $dbpass to your password, $dbname to your database name. Leave $prefix and $user_prefix alone. Change $dbtype to "MySQL", and just put some random letters and junk in sitekey (note: you don't need to memorize sitekey or anything. It just is the DB encryption key.)

Now, reupload your changed config.php, and go to your new nuke site. With luck, you should see this
