    With a fresh install of any forum, the file permissions should be good. Did you mess with the .htaccess file? Did you use the correct file path when setting up the forum (ie. "home/username/public_html" and not "/")? Did you chmod your public_html to a different setting?

    I can't think of many reasons that this would happen.

    If it's a permissions thing, try changing your file permissions and see if that helps.
