How to install Invision Power Board 3.4 - A Step-by-Step tutorial by Phun from WebFlake.net - Things we need: A webhost that supports PHP A webhost that allows Databases A webhost that is offshore The latest package of Invision Power Board An FTP client (Like FileZilla) A brain and the will to learn Note: This works on pretty much every version of IP.Board. They all install in similar fashion. 1. Finding a webhost For the installation of Invision Power Board (and any other forum board software) we need a webhost. Finding a webhost is the hard part of this, as webhosting and domains are not for free. For people that first want to try the software out, you can get a subdomain and free hosting, for this i recommend you sign up at http://000webhost.com/ as they are a well known free hosting company. Alright, now when you've set your hosting account up we can go to step 2. 2. File Transfer Protocol & FileZillaFrom your webhost you will receive log-in details to your control panel, and login details for FTP. FTP stands for File-Transfer-Protocol and is used to upload files to your webspace. Programmers already have made a nice tool for this called 'FileZilla' it is free and easy to download: Click Here Just follow the installation steps for FileZilla and start it up, once you're done, launch the program. Click the icon you see on the top left (not the arrow) Click "New Site" and fill in your site's name Change the type to "Normal" and fill in the details you got from your hosting company Click the Connect button Now you should see the home directory, double click the folder called "public_html" You're done for now, keep FileZilla open because we are going to use it later on in this tutorial! 3. Creating a database To store usernames and data, Invision Power Board needs a database. Creating a database is very simple. Your host most likely has cPanel, which is what i'm going to show you. If your host doesn't have cPanel and uses a different control panel, search for things that are similar to those shown on screenshots. 1. Log in to your website's cpanel, which can be accessed by putting /cpanel at the end of your domain 2. Click the "MySQL Databases" button (shown above) We want to create a new database, so we will fill in the name, in our case "demo". We also need to add a user, so fill this area in and click "Create User" After that, add the user to the database, select the two and click "ADD". We should give the user full permissions, click "All Priviliges" and Click "Make Changes". We are now done with this part, our database has been set up. Copy the details somewhere because you will need the at the installation! So far it's going great. 4. Downloading & Transferring IPBIf you are a license holder, download the latest package of Invision Power Board from your clients area's download center and unRAR it somewhere you want. If not, visit the DL system over at WebFlake.net to download the latest version from the internet. Go to the "upload" folder of the downloaded package and select all files (CTRL+A) and drag them into the 'public_html' of your filezilla screen, it should start uploading the files. Once everything is uploaded, navigate to your website and proceed to Step 5. 5. Installing Invision Power Board Once all your files are uploaded, navigate to your domain. The installer should pop up! Click next on the first page you see. If there's any errors, contact your host about it! 1. Accept the EULA on the next page. 2. Select the applications you want installed and click "Next" 3. Make sure the addresses are OK and click "Next" (they should be OK by default) 4. Enter your License key (optional) Now we have to fill in the details we got from creating the database, the host should be localhost by default, if this doesn't work: Contact your host for the details. Fill in the database details like above, you don't need to fill in the table prefix. After that, fill in your admin account and let the isntallation finish! This is a fully automated process and should take about 5 to 10 minutes. When it's ready you should see this: Your forum is installed! When you go to your domain, you should see the default IPB data and skin. Just click the "Sign in" button to sign in and start configuring your installation by clicking the "Login to your Admin CP" link above your little profile when logged in. Just click the link and fill in your details hxxp://yourdomain.com/admin/ and configure everything. Make sure you go to FileZilla and delete the admin->install folder completely!

Not much, just cracking down on spam posts. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find any, would you? (The OP has been warned for spamming. This is part of an administrative initiative to prevent spam. He could have easily been suspended or banned for this. Let this serve as an example, and this guy's lucky day.) On a happier note, welcome to WebFlake. Make sure you read our community rules. Seriously..

Bonjour tout le monde, I m french boys, I love this forum. Thank's you! Je m’appelle Christopher, mon surnom est Kiki. My firt name is Christopher, my nickname is Kiki.

Yes it's pain in the a***, however when you follow my procedure, that means you are eliminating the hook completely from your website without leaving any traces or waste of database space from that hook. AndyF's instruction only teaches you how to remove the hook's settings from AdminCP, but what about the hook's file or its database? I guess they're gonna stay there forever, not good! So, my recommendation to remove a hook is the way I told you.

Create one ftw! PHPMYADMIN FTW

This key is still working 1293630326-68415-184-142658-1309131807 I'm using version 3.4.4

Did you deleted the hook through the FTP? If not, then you should deleted from there, just head to your ftp and open the hooks folder then look for the hook name like:..hook_name_in_here_b89a712a4f025bf281e31322a6d578c0.php right click on it and delete it. After that go to your AdminCP and try to delete it from there as well..When all these two done, then head to your phpmyadmin and look for its tables then delete them one by one and you should be done remove the hook.. It might takes seconds to install it but it takes hours to uninstall it!
