XF 2.3 Install query?

[Mister.T]

Hi,

Is there a faster way to install XenForo, as when I upload the files (unzipped) to my host it takes ages.

I know its beta, but it's a closed forum (protected).

Thankyou

Have you tried uploading the zip and extracting the files in place?

Can files be unzipped, I'm using cPanel on a VPS?

Yeah, that takes ages (due to the way how SCP/FTP/SFTP work to transfer files).

If you have shell (SSH) access:
Upload the ZIP, unpack on the server, run php cmd.php xf:upgrade

Okay will ask my host.

SSH is supported, much easier, thankyou.

Yes, use File Manager, browse to zip file, right click and select extract.
