Dear users,

I have recently bought a site, and i have no clue how to install a portal on it. I have been told by many other people, but yet still cant understand. I am at the point where i have downloaded the portal. Can anyone give step by step instructions on what i to do next.

Thanks,

What kind of portal are you referring to, I mean which software?

Just a simple portal for my webpage. Something like Joomla.

I have read the instructions that have come with the portal. It says for me to open the notepad file and enter the DB information, and save.

One problem. What database is it talking about? Where do i find this information?

Are you saying you are using Joomla and have a portal template for Joomla?

If so, any references to a db is referring to the Joomla db that you would have installed when you installed Joomla.

the database that this is talking about is your MySQL database. Your hosting provider may provide one thease or if not search in google for free mysql databases!
