About
ForkBB is a free and open source forum software. The project is based on FluxBB_by_Visman
Requirements
- PHP 8.0+
- PHP extensions: pdo, intl, json, mbstring, fileinfo
- PHP extensions (suggests): imagick or gd (for upload avatars and other images), openssl (for send email via smtp server using SSL/TLS), curl (for OAuth)
- A database such as MySQL 5.5.3+ (an extension using the mysqlnd driver must be enabled), SQLite 3.25+, PostgreSQL 10+
Install
Topic Установка (Installation)
For Apache:
Apache must have mod_rewrite and mod_headers enabled. Also, the AllowOverride directive must be set to All.
Two options
- Document Root != public folder (shared hosting):
- Rename .dist.htaccess to .htaccess,
- Rename index.dist.php to index.php.
- Document Root == public folder (recommended if you have access to Apache configuration):
- Rename public/.dist.htaccess to public/.htaccess,
- Rename public/index.dist.php to public/index.php;
Note
To determine which of these two options is yours, then immediately after uploading the engine to your site (before these changes), make two requests:
- your.site/public/robots.txt
- your.site/robots.txt
On one of the requests, you should see the content of the robots.txt file. Similar to:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /adm
Disallow: /log
Disallow: /mod
Disallow: /reg
Disallow: /search
Disallow: /post
Disallow: /forum/scroll
Disallow: /forum/*/new/topic
Disallow: /topic/*/new/reply
Disallow: /userlist/*/DESC/
Disallow: /userlist/*/ASC/
On which option you see the contents of the file, choose the option for changing the file names above. P.S. If you see the contents of the file in both cases, then something went wrong or you have already changed the names of the files .dist.htaccess and index.dist.php.
For NGINX:
- Example nginx configuration.
- Note: Root must point to the public/ directory.
- Note: The index.dist.php file does not need to be renamed.
Favicon
- You can rename public/favicon48.ico file to public/favicon.ico
- You can create your own favicon file and copy it to public/favicon.ico
