If you want your PHP-Fusion based website in another language check translations \| translations or search for a local support site here. Make sure your locale file (contains your language files) matches the PHP-Fusion version you are installing. In the zip file search for the directory "files". Upload the content of directory "files" to the root of your web server with a FTP program. Upload (if necessary) the language files of your choosing before installation. Directory structure should look like: \locale\English \locale\French \locale\your language You can switch languages afterwards, but some links will not be translated because they are stored in the database during installation. So it is best to install / setup PHP-Fusion in the preferred language. Before installing PHP-Fusion you need to check the requirements for this version: - PHP 5.1.2 or higher - MySQL 4.1 or higher You have to create a MySQL database. You can do this via your web-hosting control panel or phpMyAdmin. Make sure you have your mysql access details at hand including the hostname, username, password and database name as you will need to specify these during setup. 1. Before you upload the files, rename the file _config.php (located in the files folder) to config.php. 2. Upload the contents of the files folder to your web server. 3. Unless you run PHP-Fusion on a local server, in most cases you will need to CHMOD the following files and folders to 777: administration/db_backups/ downloads/ downloads/images/ downloads/submissions/ downloads/submissions/images/ forum/attachments/ ftp_upload/ images/ images/imagelist.js images/articles/ images/avatars/ images/news/ images/news/thumbs/ images/news_cats/ images/photoalbum/ images/photoalbum/submissions/ config.php Note: Some hosts doesn't allow CHMOD 777, in that case you can use CHMOD 755 if CHMOD 777 fails. 4. Go to your website where setup.php should start automatically. If not, you should run setup.php manually by entering your full site url followed by /setup.php. Example: http://www.yourdomain.com/setup.php. 5. Now choose the language for the installation of your site. Remember only English is available unless you have uploaded an additional language. Complete the setup process by following all on-screen prompts. 6. Immediately after completing the installation of PHP-Fusion you must CHMOD config.php back to 644 AND delete setup.php from your web server. Failure to do so could lead to someone else taking control of your site. Now you can log in to your newly created website with the username and password you provided during setup. Don't get confused with the second password you have set during the installation. This admin password is needed when you alter settings in your admin panel. The "normal" login password doesn't work then. It's an extra security measure. In your admin panel you can create: You can create polls, forums, news, articles, downloads, photo galleries, weblinks and much more. Change all kinds of settings. Warning about ParkingCrew.com!
