Why in the name of all that’s holy do software developers feel it’s necessary to make things sound more complicated than they really are? Is it in a rulebook that I don’t know about?
I’m modding a message board. I swear to GAWD this is what the install instructions say:
Upload install.php to your forums root directory, this is where index.php and admin.php are located, next run it by going to http://www.yoursite.com/forums/install.php, you can then continue with the edits.
Note: Upload the files first THEN run the install file, if you run the installer without uploading the files first you will get a error.
SO – if I am to understand the instructions correctly, I upload the whole shebang, install it, and THEN edit files.
Ain’t that kinda backwards?
Seems to me that I should edit the files (even though the edit instructions are written in similar gobbledygook….then upload, chmod as necessary, and THEN install.
But that’s just me.
