Install:

For those used to previous versions of IntegraMOD, you will find we have greatly improved the install process. For those new to IntegraMOD, Welcome to the best Pre-modded phpBB package available.

1) As part of the improved install process, we have tried to make upload and permission setting as easy as we can. You will need to know what type of server system you have, in order gain maximum use of the install shortcuts we have made.

For WINDOWS Servers - Most windows servers do not have an ability to unzip files on the server; however they also have a different way of handling permissions making a part of installation easier.
- Perform tasks a and b, then move on to Task 2

For UNIX/LINUX based servers that do not have the ability to decompress zipped files - with these you have the most to do on the install, the bulk of which is letting each file upload through your ftp, and then setting individual CHMODs as described below. Do not despair though; your efforts will be rewarded.
- Perform tasks a, b and e, then move on to Task 2

For UNIX/LINUX based servers that do have the ability to decompress zipped files - newer versions of these servers have their own file managers and control panels. The most popular is CPanel. Using instructions below you can use file manager to upload the zip and unpack it, which will automatically set the CHMOD file and folder Permissions.
- Perform tasks a, c and d, then move on to Task 2

a) Download the latest IntegraMOD install zip from the IntegraMOD website Or from SourceForge.

b) Unzip the package into a folder on your local PC then Upload the files with an FTP program into the "public_html" or a sub directory (e.g. /forum/) on your web server

c) Upload the Install zip file complete, with an FTP program or File Manager into the "public_html" or a sub directory (e.g. /forum/) on your web server. DO NOT unzip it before it goes to your server.

d) In your File Manager or via a command prompt unpack the install zip. If system allows it, CHMOD permissions will be in tact. Check against the file settings described in section e if you wish. CLICK HERE for more on how to unzip using CPanel.

e) Using an FTP program or file manager, set the following CHMOD permissions to the files and folders on your server;
