SMF is a popular forum solution, which provides a variety of functions. With modular design and flexibility, users can create their own plug-ins and modify SMF plug-ins in any way they want.

Before you begin, be sure to follow the steps listed in the getting started guide. You also need a LAMP stack.

Tip: this guide is written for non-root users. Commands that need to elevate privileges are prefixed with sudo. If you are not familiar with the sudo command, you can check our user and group wizards.

Prerequisites:

You need to create a MySQL user and database for SMF.

Log in to the MySQL server as root:

one

Mysql-u root-p

Create a user and database, the forum is the database name, forumadmin as the user name, and change the password as shown in the following example:

one

two

three

Create databate forums

Grant all on forums.* to 'forumadmin' identified by' password'

Quit

Install SMF

The following instructions will download the latest stable version, version 2.0.9.

Tip: if you are using a non-Apache web server, or if you have a backup system user for your web server, make sure that www-data is replaced with the appropriate system user in the following command.

1. Navigate to the document root (usually similar to / var/www.vultrla.com/public_html) and create a directory forum:

one

two

three

Sudo chown-R www-data:www-data / var/www

Sudo-u www-data mkdir forums

Cd forums/
