FluxBB Installation

You are about to install FluxBB. In order to install FluxBB, you must complete the form set out below. If you encounter any difficulties with the installation, please refer to the documentation.

Install FluxBB 1.5.9

The following errors need to be corrected:

  • The cache directory is currently not writable! In order for FluxBB to function properly, the directory /var/www/html/XCFourm/cache/ must be writable by PHP. Use chmod to set the appropriate directory permissions. If in doubt, chmod to 0777.
  • The avatar directory is currently not writable! If you want users to be able to upload their own avatar images you must see to it that the directory /var/www/html/XCFourm/img/avatars/ is writable by PHP. You can later choose to save avatar images in a different directory (see Admin/Options). Use chmod to set the appropriate directory permissions. If in doubt, chmod to 0777.
