phpBB3 Install Issues

[ra2warroom]

Okay, here's the problem. I am trying to install the latest phpbb3. I have uncompressed and uploaded the folder with all directories to my site. I have changed the permissions as stated in the official installation instructions. When I go to the /install/install.php page it gives me a url not found and a 404 error. I have the intermediate php upgrade. Is there a specific folder I am suppose to upload it to? Any suggestions?

A link to your forum would be nice. 404 error is that your page doesnt exists.

And view your error log (in the cpanel)

http://ra2warroom.x10hosting.com/hom...ll/install.php
it should be this:

http://ra2warroom.x10hosting.com/php...ll/install.php

when go to http://ra2warroom.x10hosting.com you go to public_html folder.

what is the chmod of the folder phpBB3.

Edit:
chmod? you mean permissions? its 755

[Mitch]

755 is good, i asked that because i got a 500 error.

and for installation you need
http://ra2warroom.x10hosting.com/phpBB3/index.php
(phpbb 3.0.0)

[ra2warroom]

So what should I do? That doesn't do anything for me.

I dont know what is wrong.

If i were you i should download phpbb3 from phpbb.com and upload it again.

You only have to upload it and go the http://ra2warroom.x10hosting.com/phpBB3/

After you have uploaded phpBB3 to the location you want it to be, you have to enter the URL into your browser to get to the installation screen. It is enough to point the browser to the folder where you moved it to (http://www.example.com/phpBB3 for instance). phpBB will automatically detect that it is not yet installed and forward you to the installation screen.
