Give your comments on How to install Xoops here. Thanks in advance!


Nice short HowTo. However I could do with a more information on creating the rights in the Ibay as some of the options I have are different, and perhaps a little more info on creating a user? in sql.

This is the error I got after trying to run the wizard. I will post it to the forums.

for 1 Creating the database, I took this from Abe Loveless & his Alumni database install, it appears to work for me.
