Hello ,

Im very very new at php-nuke and i have been trying to learn about it becouse i would like to create a personal site . But my problem is a friend that had givin me info on how to start making one just up and left me .. so im totaly stuck !

He told me what i need to do is first get PHP 7.8 ive done that , Then he said i need to upload the HTML files to my Host Server ( wasnt specific on where ) so ive done that .
Then he said to create a MySQL Dtabase , Ive done that ... He said once that is done i need to add the files of the SQL file to the MySQL database .... And ofcourse ive done that , The last thing he said to do was to take the Config.php file and add this correct this portion of it to match my info :
$dbhost = "___";
$dbuname = "____";
$dbpass = "____";
$dbname = "____";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";
$sitekey = "S�kQSd5%W@Y62-dm29-.-39.3a8sUf+W9";
$gfx_chk = 0;
$subscription_url = "";
$admin_file = "admin";
$advanced_editor = 0;

The ( __ ) represents where i was to set my information ... and yes i did that then put it where the old file used to be . But thats as far as he botherd to go with me .... NOw my question to you guys is , was he telling me to do all the wrong things or is there just a few more steps that i need to make b4 its complete ??

I really really need help and i would love to finaly learn PHP-Nuke and if somone was willing to teach me how step by step it would be great !

P.s im shure somone is wondering about the apache part , but i was told it wasnt needed ....
