Why a manual installation? phpBB3 has a automatix install.

Post by Tobias Claren »

Hello.

Why has ModphpBB3 a manual installation (modphpbb3 com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=406)?
phpBB3 has an automatic installation.
Even the discontinued phpBB2Plus had an automatic installation.

Thanks,

It never has been ran via an install script and I doubt ever will.

It takes a shorter time installing it this way than using an install like phpBB.

So you fill out the config file manually, import the sql - Done!

The only advantage an install script would be for those that are unable to import a file in phpmyadmin, etc though I can't see this way of install being much harder to do?

Reason?
I don't understood the implementation of "modded.sql".
