I don't know what your script is and whether it creates databases for you or not. If it doesn't:

 

1. Log into Cpanel

2. MySQL Databases

3. You should see "MySQL Database:", then a box, then a button that says "Creat MySQL Database" somewhere on the page. Enter a name for your database and it will be created. Note that it will be named "<your cpanel name>_<the name you entered>".

 

Your script should ask for your database name, just enter it (the full name, with the "cpanelname_" prefix). And it also most likely would create tables automatically. If it doesn't, it sucks.

 

If you want to manage your tables, you can use the phpMyAdmin in your Cpanel. This lets you control everything in your databases. The "MySQL Databases" in your cpanel is just a quicker way to create databases.

I don't think phpNuke's compatible with Invision boards. What's wrong with using phpBB anyway? If you want some of the features you have to install yourself in phpBB like attachements and such but can't be bothered doing it yourself, try using SMF, which is another message board that you can install using Fantastico.

So, have you done it yet? I think if you want to install a forum with a package, it's best to use fantastico in your cpanel. It's the safest and the easiest.

I'm not sure if it is what you need or not but if you need to have your applications share a database and the databases are already create, I wrote a tutorial for that.

This is for when you have installed two scripts with Fantastico but need to merge the two resulting databases.

See: Merging Sql Databases In Cpanel With Phpmyadmin - Using SQL after Fantastico installs

Hope this helps out.

There is an IPB-Nuke program that uses IPB 1.3.0 only I have downloaded the program to try to get it to work with IPB 1.2.0f you can see what an IPB integrated with PHP-Nuke looks like I think it uses version 7.2 or 7.3 PHP-Nuke here is the official and only implementation of it I am aware of IPB-Nuke home page I can't get it work with my local machine, I did get a post that informed me that IPB Nuke doesn't work with XAMPP which is what I use I think I will upload it to the Xisto account I have and see what happens!

First of all SMF is much better (opinion, not fact) :DSecond of all all you have to do is create a new database through cPanel and the program (whatever you choose to use) will write all the tables for you if you give it the details and the name.
