I am planning to host a SMF forum. So i wanted all the info about it? Do i need any licence to run a SMF? I downloaded a webinstall from SFM site and uploaded it but it does not work out. So what i could do is install a SMF 1.0.9 version which my server supported and provided by default. I have even downloaded the upgrade but how do i install the upgrade. How can i change the theam of the forum? Looking forward to knwing more about all this.
sometimes webinstall won't work. smf is free, download a free copy here. if your website control panel has an auto installer, see if smf is included and do it that way. otherwise get a download and install it yourself. good luck...
Full install and upgrade instructions are included in the package I believe. Just follow the step by step details and all will be good.
i installed SMF with cPanel auto installer but it is 1.0.9 version. So i need to upgrade it. Can i upgrade it directly from the Forum admin cP. I tried to install some packages there but it gives error. Do i need to download and upload the upgrade from smf. Can i directly upload it from SMF to my forum. And where can i find more theams or skins for it?
go to smf downloads and get the upgrade upload to your server via ftp and run upgrade.php get the upgrade, not the update.
