I did not write this I found it here: http: //forums.ikonboard.com/support/ikonboard.cgi?s=dfd88272f3f5eecf20c35bc8a7570012;a ct=ST;f=13;t=27421;
It seems pretty good but is not real detailed so is better for the more expierenced. I would however install mySQL and use that as opposed to the DBM for your database it is much faster.
1. Make certain that you have a proper installation of IIS
2. Install Active Perl 5.6 or better
3. Follow the instructions to run Perl as ISAPI extension
(I could not get iB to run with Perl script mappings).
4. Create a folder for your iB installation on the website where you are installing.
5. VERY IMPORTANT: make certain that IUSR_MachineName (the Internet anonymous access account on IIS) has CHANGE permission for this folder
6. Create the folders for iB as per the installation manual
7. Create the non-cgi folder as a child of your iB folder
8. Copy the necessary files to the iB folder as per the installation manual
9. Check for the physical path to your website's folder (needed during installation)
10. Go to your Perl installation and look for a file called PerlPPM.exe (or similar) and start it
11. On the PPM> prompt type INSTALL DB_FILE
12. Still on the PPM> prompt type INSTALL DBI
13. Type QUIT
14. Rename installer.cgi and ikonboard.cgi to installer.PL and ikonboard.PL
15. Start the installation by browsing to installer.PL
16. When asked for the cgi-path, enter the physical path to the iB subfolder in your website folder AND use DOUBLE backslashes instead of singles
17. Enter the same for the non-CGI path
18. Continue the installation, when asked if you want to overwrite existing database files select NO
19. If you receive an error that the boardinfo.pm file cannot be found in the /data folder, go to your iB folder on the website and create a folder called DATA manually; then, back out of the error message and try again
20. Installation should now complete normally.
