fantastico isnt a panel, its an autoinstaller...

Original Poster, can I publish this tutorial in my website? Or you can publish it there, just PM me for URL.

On Topic: I like this a lot :) Would have been useful if I had C Panel :P I use Webmin

Anyway, doesn't the autoinstaller only install the latest stable version? Meaning SMF 1.1.11 only?

Depends on the host and how quickly smf updates, a lot  hosts are usually a version or 2 behind, dont forget, fantastico has a lot of scripts in it to keep up to date.

That's really the only good thing about cPanel's file manager...uploading archives and extracting them. Saves LOADS of time as opposed to mass-uploading all files using FTP.

agreed aisha, thanks for the tutorial, IMO this should be practiced by SMF admins, it gives better understanding of the forum and DB and also Fantastico SUCKS!

i used it once and had issues updating the auto-installed SMF 1.1.11, and that was the last time i used fantastico for SMF.

(being that said fantastico is good for other softwares like joomla etc)

At my host they put an icon to Fantastico but it doesn't work at all. Endless maintenance, or how they may call that ;)

Nice tutorial. Be warned every host is different so some settings may not be the same :)

Nice guide, and if this helps even one person stay away from fantastico - then it was worth it IMO :)
