PHP Install Documentation for PHP-Nuke-7.8

PHP-Nuke-7.8.zip from: 
Download 7.8: http://phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=1

Manual (not a download) is located at: http://phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=PHP-Nuke_HOWTO&page=book1.html
Manual for MySQL 4.0.14 is at: http://manuals.thexdershome.com/mysql-4.0/

Unzip PHP-Nuke-7.8.zip and 

Download 'Power Zip' and install.
Use it to convert the 'html' folder content from the unzipped PHP-Nuke-7.8.zip into a new file PHPnuke.tar.gz
Make sure to select the html folder as the 'virtual root'.

Upload the tar.gz file to the site in the public_html folder
Open the file manager in the admin panel of the site.
find the tar.gz file and extract it.

Also upload sql/nuke.sql (both folder and file)

Then find ultramode.txt and make sure the permission is set to: 666

Open the MySQL Databases manager in the admin panel of the site.
Create a new database.
Note down the Username, DBName, and Password.
e.g. for this website:
UN=double_nuke
DBN=double_db
PW=double2

Now edit 'config.php' with the proper db info and change:
$admin_file = "admin"; into $admin_file = "admin-0";

FOR SECURITY:
Save the admin.php file as admin-0.php
Edit the admin.php file as follows:
Find this:
// Uncomment the following block of code after editing the next line to match your site domain
/*$domainname = "www.yourdomainname.com";
enter "www.yourdomainname.com" instead and remove all instances of /*
This will result in 'Access Denied' to appear when an outsider tries to access the admin file

Then find 'ultramode.txt' and make sure the permission is set to: 666, if not, change it.

Because MySQL 4.0.14 does not use MyISAM, but InnoDB, which does not require any command:
In sql/nuke.sql remove all instances of ENGINE=MyISAM, leaving ) ;

Then open phpMyAdmin 2.5.0 in the admin panel of the site.
It should show MySQL 4.0.14-standard-log running on local host as duyck_nuke@localhost
Double-click on duyck_dbphp in the left hand column
Click on SQL
Browse to sql/nuke.sql
Click on GO
That should install ALL required tables

FOR SECURITY:
Load the config.php file to the root (above public_html/)
Now rewrite the old config.php which is IN publich_html/ as follows:
delete all and replace it with <?php include("../config.php"); ?>
This will refer the system to the config file, which is not accessible by the public.
