How to install AEF?

AEF (Advanced Electron Forum) ia a very light free forum application.

Installing AEF is not a very complex task.  You can check the official AEF installation instructions for more information on the installation steps.

However, many people find it hard to perform a script installation themselves. This is why many hosting providers offer automatic tools through which users can easily install an application in just a few clicks.

Admin User: the user for accessing AEF's admin area
Admin Pass: the password for the admin user
Admin Password (Again): retype the password for the admin user
Email: your email address
Installation URL: the URL for the AEF installation; choose a domain from the drop-down menu and type the name of the folder where you would like AEF installed; leave blank to install it in the domain's main folder
