Hey everyone. My name is thor and I just got my new, shiney domain at samsdeadfishclub.com...I love dailykos.com and was digging around for the template in the code of the site and found the scoop site.

I really want to set my site up like this for several reasons, mainly it's going to be a "club," but I can't understand anything. Such as how to go about installing all of this stuff. I am very green to these things. SQL and Apachi might as well be greek.

I only have windows, is it even possible? The thing I get the most confused about is how/what files I would upload to my server and how to install them. oh man, I guess it might just be too difficult for me to do, any suggestions/tips/insults/ideas?

Installing Scoop (5.00 / 1) (#1)
by janra on Tue Apr 05, 2005 at 03:49:55 PM PST

Well, if you want to install it yourself you should know how to install programs in unix, to start with. Since you are saying that you don't, my first suggestion would be to find a host that can run a Scoop site for you. Most webhosting accounts cannot run Scoop, as it has quite a few requirements that they don't offer. Your best bet is to find a host that specifically supports Scoop.

There are ads for some of them on the front page: the "Scoop Site Designers" series of ads. When you have a suitable host, they should be able to help you set it up.
