Installing Php-nuke To Site Root

[denglund1996]

I want to install PHP-Nuke to my site's root (http://rightreadingroom.com). But when I try to use the installer in cPanel it makes me input a subfolder name (e.g., http://rightreadingroom.com/PHP-Nuke).

 

I read the comments on another post ("How can I make Php-Nuke my main site?" and by the way, I had to read this via google, the actual post link in your forum did not work). And I tried using both a "\" and "/" but in each case cPanel returned errors:

 

Invalid url (\).. please try agin

Error: /home/hcxxfscu/public_html// already exists

 

I don't want to use a "redirect" because then all of the posts for the site will include the phpNuke subfolder (http://rightreadingroom.com/PHP-Nuke/<article name>), won't they??

 

I wouldn't mind installing PHP-Nuke to a subfolder IFF I knew I could set up the actual public phpNuke site (and the sites main "index.php") on my root, with posts being in a sub-folder structure of my choosing (e.g., "../archives/<post name>").

That is one of the reasons I dont use the cPanel installer for everything. When I install as root, I get it from Nuke's main site. Install in a sub folder and you have to make changes to some files to compensate if you them move everything to root by hand.

Okay, got it

 

Was hoping to enjoy the ease of cPanel, but will pursue the manual install.

In this case I change the path in Php-Nuke and just download all the folders and upload to your /public_html/ directory. Or you can use the move feature in your FTP client.
