It is extremely easy to install FUDforum on any Windows or Linux PC. This quick installation procedure can be followed to get FUDforum up-and-running for testing or development purposes.
1. Install Apache, MySQL and PHP on your system. If it's not already installed, we recommend XAMPP (just the basic package) or BitNami's LAMPstack. Both provide a unified installation with all the required components that you can simply download, extract and start.
2. Create a database for FUDforum by navigating to http://127.0.0.1/ (may be on a different port, like :8080), click on "phpMyAdmin", and "Databases". Enter your database name (say, fuddb) and click "Create".
3. Download and extract FUDform's installer and put it in the 'htdocs' directory (c:\xampp\htdocs or /opt/lamp/htdocs).
5. Start the installation wizard by navigating to http://127.0.0.1/FUDforum2/install.php
6. Select the installation directories (or just accept the defaults) and click "Next". Enter database details (user=root; DBname=fuddb; DBPassword if required or leave empty; leave the rest empty) and click "Next" until FUDforum is completely installed.
7. Stop the clock and let us know how long it took you to get it running.
Enjoy!
Frank

I had previously installed FUDforum2Go, but I made a change and didn't know how to reverse it so I decided to start over with FUDforum 3.0.3. I deleted the FUDforum2Go folder and then started the install process for FUDforum. I installed XAMPP with no problems. I get to the point where you go to 127.0.0.1, but it always comes up with "It Works!" It seems as though something is still lingering from the previous installation. Any ideas?
(Sorry for the semi-duplicate question. I posted the other over an hour ago and never saw it appear in here)
