FIRST
Go to cutephp.com and download cutenews. Unzip it into a folder on your computer and open your FTP program. When you already logged into your FTP account, create a new folder in you [www] folder. Call it cutenews. Upload all the unzipped cutenews files anf folders from your computer to this folder.

Second
When you have finished uploading, right click on the folder [data] in your cutenews folder the one in the [www] folder and press CHMOD. Change the numbers to 777. Do the same for ALL the files and folders in [data].

Third
On your browser type (i.e. http://yourdomain.com/cutenews) and you will be taken to the installation page.

Fourth
On the install page you will see all the folders and files that need to have special permissons. If a line is red, it means that that folder or file doesn't have the right permission and you need to go back to your FTP program to change it before you can proceed. Press "Procees Installation" and you will be taken to the third page where you have to enter the full path to cutenews http://yourdomain.com/cutenews][/url] an admin username and password [[I]dont forget it] and e-mail. Press the "Procced installation".

Fifth
If you did everything correctly you should get a notification which says [Cutenews was successfully installed] Now you can go to the login page and login with the username and password that you provided earlier. When you first log in you will get this message:
[Attention!
CuteNews found that the installation module is still located in the /inc folder.
Please delete or rename the /inc/install.mdu file for security reasons.]

You can either press the "Try to delete automatically" button below the message and if that dont work go to your FTP program and delete the file manually.

Sixth
On the options page, press "Integration Wizards [News and RSS]. You will get two options, press the second one. Now you will be taken to a page where you have to provide some info about how you want to display the news.

In the [Number of active news to display] write the number of news you want to have on your site at a time [i.e. 2].
In the "Template to Use When Displaying News" drop down, select the template you want to use..if you know html/css then u could edit it and create how u want it to show..:)

Seventh
When you have finished the step above, press the [Proceed to Integration]button at the bottom of the page. Copy the php code you will get on the next page into your site, where you want the news to appear.
Note: Pages must be in .php or it wont work [ i.e : cutenews.php ]
All pasting must be done in code view or text editor.

when your done go to the page you uploaded with the code in it
[ i.e : www.yourdomain.com/show_news.php ]

If it doesnt come out right or anything please reply to this thanks:)

The error could be encountered when PHP is not enabled on that domain. That might be it. Maybe.

If you're getting an Internal Server Error (500), DELETE the folder you CHMODed and reupload it but DON'T CHMOD it again.
