SMF
Add services.modules.smf to your INSTALLED_APPS list and run migrations before continuing with this guide to ensure the service is installed.
Overview
SMF is a free php-based forum. It’s the one of the forums for AllianceAuth.
Dependencies
All dependencies should have been taken care of during setup.
Setup
Download SMF
Using your browser, you can download the latest version of SMF to your desktop computer. All SMF downloads can be found at SMF Downloads. The latest recommended version will always be available at http://www.simplemachines.org/download/index.php/latest/install/.
In the console, navigate to your user’s home directory: cd ~
Now download using wget, replacing the url with the url for the package you just retrieved
wget http://download.simplemachines.org/index.php?thanks;filename=smf_2-0-13_install.zip
This needs to be unpackaged. Unzip it, replacing the file name with that of the file you just downloaded
unzip smf_2-0-13_install.zip
Now we need to move this to our web directory. Usually /var/www/forums.
sudo mv smf /var/www/forums
The web server needs read/write permission to this folder
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/forums
Web Install
Navigate to http://example.com/forums where you will be presented with an installer.
Click on the Install tab.
All the requirements should be met. Press Start Install.
