    Joomla is a good choice, but Drupal is also handy in someways because it's open source and you'll get a better community support + there are many pre-built components like shopping cart, payment gateway you can easily integrate and customize those.

    There's good documentation in Drupal.org site itself (you'll find installation instructions and customization guides), and http://www.ubercart.org/ is a shopping cart system based on Drupal you can easily install it too.

    joomla is gud but if u install a joomla make sure it doesnt have any loop holes !!!
    I prefer drupal over joomla !

    if ur going to develop it from scratch then use a PHP MVC fream work

    if u r an expert in MVC then i dont need to tell u ! use ZEND

    or if u r a beginner then use codeignitor

    dont develop flat or basic development

    How to install vBulletin.

    How to install vBulletin. This is a simple giude for those who don't know how to install vBulletin.
    Most of the hosts have cPanel on them so I'm using cPanel here also
    happy.gif

    Using vBulletin 3.8.5 here. You can similarly install vBulletin 4.x too!

    1) Buy a legit vBulletin account from here (I know most of the guys here are not going to buy it
    tongue.gif
    So get a nulled version from here)

    2) Once you get all the files, extract it into a folder on your desktop. You'll see something like:


    3) The main files are there inside the upload folder.

    4) Open your cPanel and login with your credentials. After you login, find Databases.
    It'll look something like:

    Click on MySQL Databases.

    5) Make a new database.


    6) Scroll down to MySQL Users. In Username field, add anything you want.
    For password I recommend you to click on Password generator. Copy the generated password to a safe place. You'll need it later. Then click on Use Password. It'll automatically fill up the field. Click on Create User.




    7) Scroll down to Add User To Database. Select your User and Database and click on Add.
    You'll see something like this:

    Click on Make Changes.

    8) Now go to the folder where you had saved your vBulletin files. Go to the upload folder. You'll see there are many files in there. Go inside Includes folder and then find the file config.php.new
    Rename it to config.php
    Now, open the file in Notepad/Notepad ++
    You'll see something like:


    Now find $config['Database']['dbname'] = 'forum';
    It's there on the 31st line
    Quote:
    // ****** DATABASE NAME ******
    // This is the name of the database where your vBulletin will be located.
    // This must be created by your webhost.
    $config['Database']['dbname'] = 'forum';
    Change forum to what ever your database name was.

    Now find $config['Database']['technicalemail'] = '[email protected]';
    It's there on the 40th line
    Quote:
    // ****** TECHNICAL EMAIL ADDRESS ******
    // If any database errors occur, they will be emailed to the address specified here.
    // Leave this blank to not send any emails when there is a database error.
    $config['Database']['technicalemail'] = '[email protected]';
    Change [email protected] to your email address.

    Now find
    $config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'root';
    $config['MasterServer']['password'] = '';
    It's there on the 59th and 60th line

    Quote:
    // ****** MASTER DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******
    // This is the username and password you use to access MySQL.
    // These must be obtained through your webhost.
    $config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'root';
    $config['MasterServer']['password'] = '';

    In Place of root add your database username and between the '' add your pass
    So finally it'll look like
    Quote:
    $config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'my username here';
    $config['MasterServer']['password'] = 'my pass here';
    9) Now you need to upload all the vBulletin files to public_html folder on your server. You'll need a FTP client for making your job easy. Get CuteFTP or FileZilla for it.
    Your hosting provider must have given you FTP information.
    It'll be something like
    Host: your-domain-name/ip-address
    Username: your-username
    Password: your-password

    If you have CuteFTP then it'll look like:

    If you have FileZilla then it'll look like:


    The default port is 21.

    10) Upload all the vBulletin files to your public_html folder.

    11) Once done, point your browser to
    http://example.com/install/install.php
    Where example.com is your domain name.

    12) You'll see something like


    Press Next Step every time you see the button.
    In step 9, you need to do some config

    BB Title
    will the name of your forum (like, WarezXtremE.Org)
    Once every thing is done, press Proceed.

    Step 11 will ask you for you ID information

    Add your info and press Proceed.

    The installation will complete and it'll point you to your AdminCP folder.
    Delete install.php from /install and you'll be able to see your AdminCP
    biggrin.gif


    Congratulation! You successfully installed vBulletin!

    Your AdminCP will look like:

    Your Forum will look like:


    Note: If you are using a nulled/keygenned vBulletin then don't forget to remove the file validator.php -- IMPORTANT

    You can do with vbulletin, but will have to do custom coding + will suck big amount of money from your profit. You can't used nulled/pirate vbulletin like many other srilankans do coz this is for a customer and he don't like to be hosted in offshore illegal servers with pirated software.

    So go for Joomla or Drupal. They are free and lot of extensions are there. If you search you can find both paid and free extensions just made to do your task. Automobile sites, payment gateways and shopping carts etc...

    If you are planning to attach a big forum to that site then only pay for vbulletin.

    thanks for the reply GT ayya
    But pls dont think im goin to make some forums and goin to take members from you
    this is only for a business purpose...
    im doin a online job called bookmarkin ( social bookmarking ) you may know it
    so the US company like to test our knowledge in web designing and give some small projects which comes to them
    dats why i ask help from EK guys :D
    first we decided to do it with php..but we faced to many troubles with controls and sessions...

    GT ayya is it ok if we do it with Joomla
    actually its not a forum...
    kinda automobile company site...which rent cars and doing some insurances
    and they require only 7 pages

    so they didnt tell me the amount that we get for 7 pages
    Actually how much can we demand for a single page... can we afford more than 100$ :rolleyes::rolleyes:
