phpBB 2.0.x is required to install this version of MKPortal.
Before installing this product, we recommend to backup your database.

Installing MKPortal is very simple:

1. The installation package (zip file) contains the "upload" folder. You should transfer the content of "upload" folder on your webspace (for example http://www.yoursite.com/ ) according to this scheme:

/forum (or any other name of the folder containing the board installed)
/mkportal (containing the content of "upload" folder)
/index.php (included in mkportal package)

You should obtain this structure (it's the only structure to make mkportal work correctly) :

http://www.yoursite.com/forum
http://www.yoursite.com/mkportal
http://www.yoursite.com/index.php (mkportal main index)

If you have the board index on your website root you should move it in a subfolder (as shown in the example above).

2. Give write permissions (chmod 777) to the following files and directories and to their content:

mkportal/conf_mk.php
mkportal/cache
mkportal/blog
mkportal/blog/images
mkportal/templates/*
mkportal/lang/*
mkportal/modules/downloads/file
mkportal/modules/gallery/album
mkportal/modules/reviews/images

3. Now you can start installation typing the url:
http://www.yoursite.com/mkportal/mk_install.php

Just follow instructions and it's done

4. Remove the mk_install.php file and the mkportal/upgrades folder from the server.

5. open forum file: login.php
Find the string:
Code:
redirect(append_sid($url, true));

Attention, this string occurs 3 times in login.php! You must substitute this string in all 3 occurrences. Remove them and insert instead:
Code:
if ($url == "portalhome") {
Header("Location: ../");
exit;
} else {
redirect(append_sid($url, true));
}

The installation is finished!!
Have fun!!
