How to install MKPortal with IPB 1.3
Please note:
- IPB 1.3.x is required to install this version of MKPortal
- Before installing this product we recommend that you backup your database.
Installing MKPortal is very simple:
- The installation package (zip file) contains the "upload" folder.
You should transfer the content of the "upload" folder to your webspace
(for example http://www.example.com/) according to this scheme:
/forum (or any other name of the folder containing the board installed)
/mkportal (containing the content of "upload" folder)
/index.php (included in mkportal package)
You should obtain this structure (it's the only structure to make mkportal work correctly) :
http://www.example.com/forum
http://www.example.com/mkportal
http://www.example.com/index.php (mkportal main index)
If you have the board index on your website root you should move it into a subfolder (as shown in the example above).
- Set write permissions (chmod 777) for the following files and directories and
to their content:
mkportal/conf_mk.php
mkportal/cache
mkportal/blog
mkportal/blog/images
mkportal/templates/*
mkportal/lang/*
mkportal/modules/downloads/file
mkportal/modules/gallery/album
mkportal/modules/gallery/album/tmp
mkportal/modules/reviews/images
mkportal/modules/reviews/images/tmp
mkportal/blog/images/tmp
- Now you can start the installation by typing the url:
http://www.example.com/mkportal/mk_install.php
Just follow the instructions and you're done
- Important security notice: Remove the mk_install.php file and the mkportal/upgrades folder from the server.
The installation is finished!!
Have fun!!
