At this point, you should have the zip archive "unzipped" and the contents similar to those shown in the structure and CHMOD guide. If you

do not have a similar structure, check to make sure you have your zip program preferences set to allow creation of directories and to preserve case and long filenames.

If you haven't done so already, create a new directory on your server named appropriately (if you wanted to access the forums via 'http://www.domain.com/forums/', create a directory called 'forums' in the

simply selecting all the files from the "unzipped" zip archive and drag them into your FTP client window, this will then copy all the files, creating the directories as it goes. If you choose

to do this, you can safely ignore most of the following instruction, just remember to CHMOD as outlined in the stucture and CHMOD guide).

-
files and folders, upload them all - preserving the structure you have in your zip file (for example, upload the entire contents of the "html" folder on your computer to the "html" directory on the server).

| The exact requirements will depend on many factors, your estimated board traffic being one.

+ You must have a webserver that has PHP 4.1.0 (or better) and mySQL 3.23 (or better) installed. If you are unsure whether your server has these
programs installed, please check with your web host now. If you are capable, you can always download PHP
and download mySQL and install it yourself. If your web host does not support PHP or mySQL, consider hosting your entire web site or forums with IPS Hosting services.
Invision Power Board works best on an Apache server, and is Apache 1 and Apache 2 savvy.
General Requirements
- You do not need a new mySQL database as Invision Power Board supports table prefixes to prevent tables being overwritten.
-
You will also need the mySQL username and mySQL password for a mySQL user that has permission to "CREATE", "DROP" and "ALTER" tables.
-
You will need about 2mb of free web space and roughly 3mb of mySQL database space to allow installation and a moderately sized community.
