Downloading FUDforum

If you did not download the sources of FUDforum, you can do so by going to http://fud.prohost.org/download.php. That page will always contain the latest stable version of FUDforum as well as the latest development version if you want the very latest features. FUDforum is always offered in 3 compression formats, bzip2, gzip & zip, so you should not have any problems decompressing the install script on any system. We recommend downloading the bzip2 file, as it is the smallest and will take the shortest amount of time to download.

FUDforum sources can also be obtained from CVS (Concurrent Version System).

Example 3.4. Downloading FUDforum from CVS


cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@asuka.prohost.org:/forum21 checkout fud21_install

Once the files are retrieved, run the following commands to create the install script

cd fud21_install
chmod 644 install.php
chmod 755 create_file_list
./create_file_list install 1>> install.php

                                

Note

You will need to have php binary installed on your system in order to generate the install.php installation script. If you already have a php binary in your system, but it is not inside /usr/local/bin/php, modify the 1st line inside the install.php script to reflect the proper path of the php binary on your system.
