Hello,

I dont have any programming exp and dont know PHP. Can i use this. I want to use this for my Rotary Website. PLEASE HELP with Basic. I downloaded xoops. Now what should i do.

while it is helpful to know a bit of HTML and PHP, you DO NOT need to know either in order to use Xoops. The XOOPS platform is lucky enough to have a fantastic group of developers that create fully-functional modules and themes.

okay... to install Xoops...
1) Get the latest XOOPS full version (which, as you have noted, you have done already...)
2) Put all these files on a server that's PHP enabled and has Apache handlers. You can check with your host to see if these are available. It's generally best to put your install in the root directory of your site.
3) Go to http://www.YOURSITE.com/install/ and follow the on-screen instructions to install Xoops. Note that before you start, you'll need to know where your MySQL database is hosted as well as the virtual and physical paths of your site.
4) That's it! Assuming all turns out okay, your site will be ready to go. From here, head over the Module Repository and Theme Library to get some cool modules and themes for the site.

Good luck with your site!
