PHP Set up

[poolman]

Ok, I know some basic html, I want to build a SOF2 Clan Forum with PHP. Is this something that can be done with just basic knowledge?

[Nichotin]

yes, you can use
www.invisionboard.com

yep, nich's right, you'll have to have MySQL too, if you need help installing it then take a look in the faqs and tutorials section and search through it for a post by mine on setting it all up

Or you can use PHPnuke from phpnuke.org. It's fairly easy to setup, but can be very difficult to customize...

I've done several of these before, let me know if you'd like some help.

Ok, I tried YabbSE before I returned here to see the post's that where made. I have it installe dand running, but I can not leave it on 24/7 as my ISP does not allow me to host my own site on my PC. I was wondering if I could use say port 50000 instead of 80 to try and avoid port scans from my ISP. I have tried changing the settings but when i try and access my site, I can only get to the frontpage and then I get no graphics and the links to other sections don't work. I have tried to search for any port specific info in the files but no luck. DOes anyone know how to go about getting this to work?

I may try invisionboard if I can't get this to work, who knows?

Thanks for your help

if he wants a forum i dont think phpnuke is the best solution. as mentioned, invisionboard. if he needs a portal i'd suggest ibportal

Yeap if u need help with invisionboard, php, and/or mysql I can help u with that.

Not sure about abbSE. What server are you running? Apache, IIS, etc.?

cya,

Apache, but I am not allowed to host my own site (ISP Rules) But, I want to know if I can run from a much higher port than 80. I want to try and eliminate port scans from my ISP as much as possible.

Any Ideas?

Thanks for all the help so far

You can.

In Apache's config file, httpd.conf, there will be a few lines that read something like this:

Code:

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, in addition to the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
#Listen 3000
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

change the last one to Listen #### , replacing #### with the port you want it to run on, and then restart the server
