Installing mybb on rackspace cloud server

In previous post I wrote how to get started with rackspace cloud server, and installed nginx, postgres, php and exim4. in this post I'll demonstrate how to install mybb forum script on cloud server.
Requirements:

1. Cloud server
2. webserver (nginx), postgres, mail trasfere agent (exim4) and php5 cgi
3. Latest mybb forum script
4. sftp client

1. Signing up with rackspace cloud server

   if you haven't signed up at rackspace cloud yet, continuing reading is more likely to be as a boring lecture :). sure you can continue or  sign up now
   

2. Installing webserver (nginx), postgres, mail trasfere agent (exim4) and php5 cgi

   Installing nginx, postgresql, exim4 and php5 cgi is covered in previous post, please refer it

3. Downloading the latest mybb forum script

   first get the latest version of mybb from http://www.mybb.com/download/latest extract it and rename folder Upload to web

4. Uploading mybb using sftp client

   Here you can use any sftp client either command line such as sftp on linux/ psftp on windows(part of putty tools), or GUI many are available check the one that support sftp not ftps, ftps you don't need it here. for this demo I'll use sftp command line client, remember that our goal is to upload mybb files to a place where nginx is able to reach .so basically all mybb files MUST located in /home/naoar/web so that /home/naoar/web/index.php is the location of mybb forum index file
   login to your cloud server
   sftp naoar@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
   enter your password not root password
   then upload the local directory web to /home/naoar put -r web /home/naoar
   uploading will start :)
   once uploading finished, you can make sure everything is in its place:
   ls /home/naoar/web
   if no errors found, we can safely close the sftp client and go to install mybb from a web browser, the rest of this post is demo images, installation process quite simple, just fill and go :)
