Description
Simple Machines Forum — SMF in short — is a free, professional grade software package that allows you to set up your own online community within minutes.
Its powerful custom made template engine puts you in full control of the lay-out of your message board and with our unique SSI - or Server Side Includes - function you can let your forum and your website interact with each other.
SMF is written in the popular language PHP and uses a MySQL database. It is designed to provide you with all the features you need from a bulletin board while having an absolute minimal impact on the resources of the server. SMF is the next generation of forum software - and best of all it is and will always remain completely free!
For more information see http://www.simplemachines.org/.
Installation and Uninstall
For installation just hit the following command
yum install smeserver-smf --enablerepo=smecontribs
For uninstall just hit the following command
yum remove smeserver-smf
You can ignore the yum-comments signal event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot.
Languages support
There are 6 languages supported by default: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish.
The install will set the default language according to your SME language settings (English if not autodetected)
You can download other languages here. Please choose UTF-8 langpacks.
Untar the downloaded langpack in /opt/SMF/ (this should update the 'Themes' folder)
Then you need to set the rights of the files you added for security reasons. Copy/paste the following at the prompt:
cd /opt/SMF find Themes -type d -exec chmod 555 {} \; find Themes -type f -exec chmod 444 {} \; chown -R root:root /opt/SMF/Themes/ chown root:www /opt/SMF/Themes/ chmod 775 /opt/SMF/Themes/
Use
To use SMF, start your favorite browser at http://yourdomain.com/forum.
The administration panel will be available once you're connected as an admin.
