Hey all. I hope this guide can help you all out. To get this sourch to work you need this things installed first. After that you can follow this guide.

1: Xampp 1.7.7
2: Memcached
3: APC / The source will work when you start out without this but its HIGHLY recommended to install this also.

There is a perfect guide on how to instal all of does things here:https://u-232-forum.duckdns.org/topic,611.0.html

All iam gonna do is show you how to setup the sourch on youre xampp server that is already installed and also has Memcached installed :)

This is the layout iam using in this guide.
Windows 7 x32bit / It can also run on x64bit.
Xampp 1.7.7 / I know the PHP version is old in this but its stabel for u-232
u-232 v3

1: Download the rar folder from: https://github.com/Bigjoos/U-232-V3

2: Unrar everything to this folder: C:\xampp\htdocs

3: Open your web browser and type in: http://www.youresite/install - Follow the instructions and fill in all the required data.

4: Now if all goes well you're gonna come to this page: http://d.pr/i/lD7N

5: Remove everything in the address field and type in: http://www.youresite. In my case it's localhost. You're gonna be prompted to: Delete the install directory but I recomend that you just move it to youre desktop. Just in case something went wrong with the install.

6: Reload the page and now you should see the login page. Click on: Join us button. Fill in all the required info. Now the first acount in youre tracker is created [ AKA = SysOp ] acount.

7: Log in with youre new acount. Se what titel you have near youre name. If its SysOp everything is done correct. ( DO NOT ENTER STAFFPANEL YET ! )

8: In youre root/cache folder find this file: staff_settings2.php. Open it with a text editor and change this name: Admin to the name of the account you just created. Save the changes.

If you have done everything correct you can now acces the staffpanel without a problem.

9: Well in the staffpanel. Create a new user named: System ensure its: userid2 so you dont need to alter the autoshout function in: include/user_functions.php

Here is some questions that might appear with the install:


Question about the chmd config:
Do I need to config the files/folders to be 775 during and after the install ?

Answer:
There is no chmod config when you install this sourch on Xampp. Xampp does that automatic for you.

Question about the database:
I have done everything correct and it said that the database was successfully imported. But when I look into the database nothing is there.

Answer:
Just import the SQL file manually into the database. You can find it in the install folder you just moved to your desktop. Its called: install.sql

Question on the old PHP version:
I have followed the guide you gave me and installed: Xampp 1.7.7 but that version comes with: PHP 5.3.8 and thats an old PHP version.

Answer:
The BEST programming language in the world is the one you are currently using !!
