Before I begin to explain how to run an Imageboard like 4Chan or 711Chan, I would like to make emphasis on the risks on running an imageboard.
For starters: Unless you or someone is always moderating the imageboard it is completely risky to run one on x10Hosting due to the TOS
This tutorial is the PHP version which is technically obsolete to the perl version. If someone could direct me to how to run Perl on x10hosting I will post how to run the updated version.
1. Download the .rar file from here: http://bit.ly/62o8aX
2. Extract it to the desired directory.
3. Edit config.php to your desired settings with your favorite editor, I use Notepad++. ADMIN_PASS and SQL settings must be changed; others are optional.
+ if you do not know what to change, go to cPanel>>MySQL Databases; it should be pretty self-explanatory from there. If there here is what I would put from my own MySQL database.
4. Create a directory on the web server for the image board and set permission to 755. Mine is 1ac1, and I set that folder to 755, just the folder not the files that we will put in it.
5. Create an src and thumbs directory. Set those to 755 permission as well so people could upload images to your server (not for hosting remember).
6. Unless you want your imageboard to be japanese erase strings_j.php it is pointless.
7. Upload all the files.
This is what your directory should look like:
/public_html/
|
|-- /1ac1/ (755)**
|||
|||-- imgboard.php (644)
|||
|||-- config.php (644)
|||
|||-- futaba.css (644)
|||
|||-- strings_e.php (644)
|||
|||-- /src/ (755)
|||
|||-- /thumb/ (755)
**You can change yours to whatever you wish it to be as long as you change the table on config.php
If you want it to be pictureforum change this following line (line #2)
define(SQLLOG, 'pictureforum')
8. Finally, if done correctly then it should work correctly. Go to http://example.com/imgboard.htm.*
*Change it to what your url maybe. To some it may be, imgboard.x10hosting.com/imgboard.htm [or] imageboard.co.cc/1ac1/imageboard.htm
TADA! If any of you have a problem post it here. I should be able to help you.

vigge_sWe said:Only if there is no illegal stuff, no porn, no nudity, no copyright infringement and all of the other stuff 4chan has that breaks the x10 ToS
So those are the risks. Now to running the Imageboard.

Change the red words (except localhost):
PHP:
define(TITLE, 'Futallaby-powered image board'); //Name of this image board
define(SQLLOG, 'CHANGEME'); //Table (NOT DATABASE) used by image board
define(SQLHOST, 'localhost'); //MySQL server address, usually localhost
define(SQLUSER, 'CHANGEME'); //MySQL user (must be changed)
define(SQLPASS, 'CHANGEME'); //MySQL user's password (must be changed)
define(SQLDB, 'CHANGEME'); //Database used by image board
define(ADMIN_PASS, 'CHANGEME'); //Janitor password (CHANGE THIS YO)
PHP:
define(TITLE, 'PhazzedOut IMGboard'); //Name of this image board
define(SQLLOG, '1ac1'); //Table (NOT DATABASE) used by image board
define(SQLHOST, 'localhost'); //MySQL server address, usually localhost
define(SQLUSER, 'phazzedo_Phazzed'); //MySQL user (must be changed)
define(SQLPASS, 'password123'); //MySQL user's password (must be changed)
define(SQLDB, 'phazzedo_1ac1'); //Database used by image board
define(ADMIN_PASS, 'thispassworderaseseverything'); //Janitor password (CHANGE THIS YO)5. Create an src and thumbs directory. Set those to 755 permission as well so people could upload images to your server (not for hosting remember).
