    phpbb install help

    OK, I've installed phpbb3 before elsewhere and it was pretty simple. All that was needed after uploading the install is to browse to http://yoursite/phpbb3/install/ (path to where the install dir is on your site.)

    When I do that here, I get an error.

    The path I'm using is upstatenyfishing.x10hosting.com/phpbb3/install/ what am I doing wrong? uploaded the phpbb folder to the root .

    Re: phpbb install help

    When I go to

    upstatenyfishing.x10hosting.com/phpbb3/install

    I get a 404 File Not Found

    When I go to

    upstatenyfishing.x10hosting.com/

    it shows the bare minimum, with no phpbb3 folder at all.

    Check FileManager, I think you installed phpbb into an incorrect location. It should be in public_html or a subdirectory of public_html.

    Nothing is always absolutely so.

    Ony files/folders in the public_html fiolder are accessible on the web. Any other file/folder cannot be browsed to from the web.

    That was the problem. I saw the directory structure and was wondering about where the service would point. Anyhow, I moved the files into public_html and the install went fine.

    Thanks for the help.

    Now I need to open a new topic on email setup...
