Installing XMB 1.8

Here I will talk you through how to an install xmb 1.8 board, this is for people who are hosted by someone with a domain or have a domain of their own because I don't think that any free servers have mysql databases.   1) First off download the board, the zip is here and the rar file is here and then unzip the files.   2) On your server create a new database, if you have cpanel on your server you can usually get to this by going to yourdomain.com/cpanel then going to MySQL Databases either under the Scripts & DB heading if using vertex cpanel or the Advanced menu if using the default cpanel 6.  Then you have to create a new database, when this is done create a new username and password and then remember to add the user to the database! If you do not have cpanel or do not have anyway of creating databases but you definitely have mysql on your server then contact your administator.   3) In the Partagium file go into the files folder and open up config.php with notepad.  Fill in these with the details of the new database you created.   $dbname = 'database name'; // Name of your database $dbuser = 'username'; // Username used to access it $dbpw = 'password'; // Password used to access it   Usually the others can be left   $tablepre = 'xmb_';   I would keep this as it is unless you have another xmb board in the same database.  This simply means that all the tables created will begin with xmb_   4) This next step is easy enough, just write the full url to where your board will be installed with a / after it   $full_url = 'http://www.xmbforum.com/community/boards/';   5) Ignore the plugins, they are for later when you install hacks.  Scroll to the bottom of the page change the settings like this $ipreg = 'on'; $ipcheck = 'off';   keeping ipcheck on often causes problems.  Now you just need to save your file and upload all the files in the folder named files to you server in the folder you stated in step 4.   6) Then go to http://www.site.com/forum/install.html and follow the instructions and if everything is filled out correctly you should have a working board!
