Essential Stuff

register_globals must be set to on in your PHP.INI file.
During the install one of the pages asks for the WWW_ROOT while describing this as "the directory where the systems temp files are stored". Ignore the description and type in the public accessible url to the forums area on your website. i.e. http://dragonx.northern.ca/forums/
Add the path of the FUD Data directory with INCLUDE subdir to the include_path of your PHP.ini. For example if my FUD Data directory is C:FUDData then this is what I add to my include_path:
```
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"  Windows: "path1;path2"
auto_prepend_file = 
include_path=".;/apache/includes;C:/FUDData/include";
;                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
```
Restart apache for the changes to the PHP.ini file to take affect.
Remove the
```
?><?php
```
between the license and the body of code in files:
C:/FUDData/include/GLOBALS.php
C:/www/htdocs/forums/adm/admglobals.php

In C:/www/htdocs/forums/adm/admglobals.php Replace:

$cf = get_config('GLOBALS.php');

with

$cf = get_config($GLOBALS['INCLUDE'].'GLOBALS.php');

[ or perhaps this should be

$cf = get_config($GLOBALS['__GLOBALS.INC__']);

both should have the same value. ]

Additional Notes:

These fixes probably don't cover all of the functionality of FUD forum, AFAIK everything that the end user sees is fixed by this. (plz submit bug fixes Windows PHP people)
Also see the attached file below [Win2K - Installing SMTP and configuring PHP to use it.txt] for instructions on setting up SMTP under Windows 2000. If you have a ISP that does your SMTP and uses Username/Password authentication (i.e. @Home) you'll need to set up a local SMTP server (because PHP's mail command does not support SMTP auth) to delver mail, so that FUD users can confirm sign-up and receive notifications about threads.
The windows build of PHP (as of 4.1.1) doesn't have support for PSPELL built-in. I suggest Win2K admins disable pspell support in the admin control panel.

Good Luck! Grin
