When I go to the main page of my site (e.g.http://localhost), I'm getting the "Welcome to Apache!" page. Removing the Index.htm pages then shows me a directory listing of my docroot. I haven't noticed anyone mentioning that they've needed to modify their DirectoryIndex setting in httpd.conf to look for Index.php. Is this just implied or is there a more appropriate way to point to XOOPS?


On the mony :) Usually a php based sofware uses index.php as its start page. Set apache to look for index.php and you should be good to go.

I see where modules are listed in the Administration section, though honestly I haven't yet found good descriptions for what they do and/or suggestions for external modules that provide supersets of functionality. Can anyone provide either an example set of module configurations for a "standard" site or a comprehensive listing of modules and in what circumstances they're useful? I guess my specific example would be News entries... there seem to be multiple modules to choose from and I'm having problems determining what would be appropriate.


Well, they can be uninstalled fairly cleanly and easily with a few clicks, so it's prolly worthwhile to tinker with each module you come across. I do :)

well I kinda got it working. I edited the converter and moved my forum to newbb from the bbpixel php odule (which was laggin hard core for me)

I don't know squat about sql, I just tinkered with it till it did the trick. Use at your OWN risk!!! And seriously do a back up first becuase I really have no idea what I am doing.

Download it here
