What is all that and what can I do with it? I'm getting curious. Wich one should I chose if I wanna try them out? What do they require?

Okay, I downloaded phpNUKE cuz it looked the best. But when I try to start it for the first time i get errors. It's almost like it can't create the tables or connect to the mySQL database.

Any one got any tips?

unless you really need it, Id say staay away from those types of Portals/CMSs... in my experience, they tend to be a bitch...

go here http://e-xoops.com its a good portal I'm using it on my site. Once i get the MySQL all straighten out. oh and you might wanna check with tommy and see if you have all your MySQL info straight. Like ur uname and pass and dbname.

i tried e-xoops... didnt like it

you seem really picky :P 8)

i am...

I've tried e-xoops, post nuke, php nuke, and e107.

I decided to stay with php-nuke. :)
