Split web install (best practices)

[I Agree]

Hello,

I've decided to start things afresh with 2.0. I wanted basically to download the package to the website, but all the download links I found were not the kind you can peg an actual address to. Probably if someone could just point me to one of those that is reliable I'd be all set...

However, I'm angling towards the WebInstall option. Only thing is I normally install the software stuff in a shared folder that is not html accessible. Then put the different theme files for multiple forums in their own locations.

I reckon probably just installing the first time from a www directory would work. Then just move over the common files and rewire all the settings to the new file locations. But I thought it wouldn't hurt to get a "professional" opinion/perspective first.

Thanks

Some errors on first page of installer after "agreeing" to the EULA or whatever:

The web installer doesn't look like it's going to workout. Is there an ftp address I can ftp an install archive from?

Look up, way up, DOWNLOAD

Was just about to try to delete this thread. But since someone replied...

Yes I was aware of the download links (the download page recommends webinstall.php) but I was not aware the full install file was so small (less than 3MB) so I was worrying about nothing pretty much.

Wouldn't hurt to put the filesizes on the download page. Thanks!
