1) To install Newbb, rename the folder from:

/newbb-5.00_FINAL

to:

/newbb

so you have:

http://directemails.info/wgm/xoops/modules/newbb/admin/

Then in the Admin:
a) go to "Modules"
b) go to "Install Module"
c) follow the instructions from: https://xoops.gitbook.io/xoops-operations-guide/the-admin-interface/modules/installing-the-module

2) To update module, go to "Modules" and click on the yellow arrow icon (see the last image at the bottom of the the tutorial: https://xoops.gitbook.io/xoops-operations-guide/the-admin-interface/modules/installing-the-module

Hi Mamba,

the earlier link you gave says to put the files in the ./modules/ directory,

now my installation is at http://directemails.info/wgm/xoops

and the directory paths I have gotten are eg:

http://directemails.info/wgm/xoops/modules/newbb-5.00_FINAL/admin/

as an example path,

is this correct? or is the directory wrong? also should newbb-5.00_FINAL be renamed to newbb?

No, there is no need for it. But you can update the System module in Admin, so it will refresh the cache.


how would I update the system module in Admin?

by admin do you mean logging in with the admin userid and admin password?

what to do next?

I click "Administration Menu", I then see under "Installed Modules" a "SYSTEM" icon,
when I click this I get a list of options, I clicked "maintenance" and the options look plausible,
but I am not sure what to do.

I have found that I can change the PHP version to 7.4 using the cpanel program "Select PHP version"

Should I uninstall the xoops installation and then reinstall xoops with the ambient higher version 7.4 of php?

what is the official way to uninstall xoops, in particular so it deals with the backup options I selected via softaculous?

First of all, you should install a newer version of PHP, preferably PHP 7+. The PHP 5.4.45 is way too old. I'm sure, your ISP is providing with PHP 7+ versions.

1) Download it from here:

Hi,
I automagically installed xoops on my website via softaculous, where I clicked install,
filled in some info, and next thing it was installed,

I would like to install forums via NewBB,

firstly can this be done automagically via softaculous?
secondly, if not, how do I manually install it,
starting with a URL for which version to download,
where to download it to,
what the steps are, eg via cpanel.
as I have absolutely no idea what to do!

the xoops installation is here:
http://www.directemails.info/wgm/xoops/

many thanks for any help
