Tinyboard - A lightweight PHP imageboard.

About

Tinyboard is an imageboard software package written in PHP. It aims to maintain a stable, fast, clean and user-friendly engine for imageboards. Development for Tinyboard started in October 2010. You can contact the development team over IRC at tinyboard.org or on IRC at irc.datnode.net #tinyboard.

Tinyboard is not currently at a stable state.

Requirements

1. PHP >= 5.2.0
2. php-gd
3. php-pdo with appropriate driver for your database

Installation

1. Tinyboard requires an SQL database and a user to work. Create one.
2. Import 'install.sql' into the database. There are several ways to do this.
   • using phpMyAdmin
   • mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD DATABASE < install.sql
3. Edit 'instance-config.php' to suit your installation. You should copy some values from 'inc/config.php' to redefine them in the instance-config.
4. Make sure that the Tinyboard directory is writable. Depending on your setup, you may need to chmod "." to 777, with chmod 777 .
5. Ensure everything is okay by running test.php in a browser. The script will try and help you correct your errors.
6. Run the post.php script. It should create an index.html and redirect you to it if everything is okay.
7. Optional (highly recommended): Either delete or chmod as unreadable the following files: test.php, install.sql, and this README.

An automated installation script will be completed soon.
