PHP-NUKE

[Maestro]

Can someone help me here? What is php-nuke, and how do u use it? I was told i need SQL server and apache web server and php-nuke. I have php-nuke 6.0. Now what do i do? Where can i get sql that will work with XP? And how do i set everything up? Also, can u use free web space to use php-nuke?

I know i must sound dumb, but im new at this and i really want to learn.

Thanx for ur help

PHP Nuke is a content management system, I myself have just started to use it,

you need a webserver, with PHP and MySql support, then you need to install it to your web root and run the install.php file by doing http://webserver/install.php where webserver is the name of the machine or internet address.

I'm not keen on using it and am gonna write my own content management software for my site when i get chance, like i have done for http://coolchip-computers.co.uk/theshed/

php nuke REALLY sucks if you are at an intermediate level with PHP..usually beginners dont care how the template looks, and experts dont have any problems modding templates. I know when I used it I almost died from all the crappy premade templates, and the lack of explaination of how to modify existing ones / create your own.
