MyBB Installation/Upload Help

[SykaX]

Okay, as I've always used horrible hosts (compared to x10) I've never used an FTP. I downloaded FileZilla yesterday, can someone give me instructions on uploading and installing MyBB? The FAQ on their site wasn't too helpful.

And yes, I realize this seems like a n00b question coming from someone who knows HTML, Java, CSS, some PHP, etc., etc. :laugh:

upload all your files in ascii transfer mode to /public_html/mybb/

edit your config file and upload that.

point your browser to the admin or installation directory or file at
http://yoursite.com/mybb/

instructions are rather vague, never installed that script before but their all pretty much the same.

gives us a shout if you need more help.

That's pretty much what I did...now I'm stuck..

Although, I didn't install it to /mybb. I installed it to /community.

whats the error message?

[SykaX]

Think I've got it now. Thanks. I'll post if I have more problems, so please leave it open for a few days (three,) staff.
Edit:
Okay, now I'm not quite getting an error, but it's got a problem. Most likely because I haven't found the install. XD

I can help install it for you, if you'd like. I'm relatively good at that.

[SykaX]

Sure, why not. But I have absolutely no idea of how to get the install to work...currently I get an "Internet Explorer (yes, I use IE) Cannot Display the Webpage" error when I try to access the /install/.

And the proper files have their CHMOD set to 666.

Any ideas?

Is it properly connected to a MySQL database?

[SykaX]

Oh, well, perhaps that has something to do with it...my bad. Now, for yet another stupid question, how do I do that?

I thought you didn't connect it until the install prompted you to do so.

Ah, I misinterpreted that, you're right. I thought that install worked, you just couldn't get it to run.

Be right back, let me play with a few things for a second.
