i am looking to create a site that contains news, forums, users that relate to both. i've looked into PHP-Nuke, PostNuke, phpBB and other similar high content systems. what i am looking for is a very simple system that does not require a huge install process. i also do not need a ton of options. however i might like to add my own options and would like to be able to wade through the code with ease.

my server config is as follows:
Apache 1.3
PHP 4.1.3
MySQL 3.23
it is a shared hosting service that has given me one database (i can request additional databases free of charge but i would like to keep that to a minimum). i have essentially full .htaccess usage available to me and i can even get shell access if i need it.

with that said, what would you guys suggest?

He probably means 4.1.2 - Just a typo...I hope...

btw, check out phpCMS or phpWebSite too! :D

well,

If you know a bit of PHP, you could modify OxyNews to suit your needs. Its just a news posting system with login and comments, but i'm certain it could be made into some kinda portal, if you understand how the login system works :D
