Installation Instructions
|
Step 1: Install the access database
If you have FrontPage and MS-Access, click
here.
If you are not using FrontPage and are using MS-Access, click
here.
If you are using SQL server, click
here.
Step 2: Configuring the database connection and installing the software
1. Unzip the BBS files to a folder on your website, like /forum or /megabbs, or
whatever you want.
2. Run /forum/admin/bbs-setup.asp - configure all the settings there.
Use these settings to generate a new constants.asp file, which you will
upload to your site over the top of the old one. The purpose of
constants.asp is to contain all the information necessary for connecting
to the database.
3. Click on the "Test database connection" button. This will test if your
constants.asp generation was successful. If not, then go back and
give it another try. Otherwise, proceed to configure the BBS settings.
4. Logon with the username Administrator / changeme.
5. Manually edit constants.asp and set bEmergencyMode = 0.
Emergency mode is in case you forget your administrator password,
or otherwise can't access your system. It gives you access to
register a new account, assign global administrators, and other critical
pages. It is enabled on a fresh installation so you can access the configuration
pages in this half-configured state.
Done!
