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.
