+---------------------------
+
+Installation Snyopsis
+.....................
+
+Open up index_rename.php, edit the variable at the top to relflect the actual URL of your board (instructions in the file).
+If you're installing this in a different directory to your IPB, renamed 'index_rename.php' to 'index.php'. It's named as
+such by default to ensure that you do not overwrite an existing file named the same.
+
+
+INSTALLATION
+------------
+
+This guide assumes that you have installed IPB in /forums/ and wish for the portal to be the first page your visitors see.
+
+Open up index.php and edit the path to where the forums directory is:
+
+EXAMPLES:
+
+CORRECT: define( 'IPB_URL', 'http://www.mywebsite.com/forums' );
+
+--WRONG: define( 'IPB_URL', 'http://www.mywebsite.com/forums/' );
+--WRONG: define( 'IPB_URL', 'http://www.mywebsite.com/forums/index.php' );
+
+Make sure you don't include a trailing slash OR "index.php" on the end of the URL.
+
+Save the file and upload it to your root web directory folder, often called "public_html" or "www".
+
+
+SETTING UP
+----------
+
+Before you can use IPB Portal, you'll need to make sure you've switched it on from the ACP. If you don't do this, you may
+receive PHP errors from index.php.
+
+Simply log into your forums ACP and expand the "System Settings" sub-menu and click on "View all general settings" and then
+find "IPB Portal".
+
+That's it, you're all done!
