    Did you install it on the root dir?

    If you are getting a blank screen you need to upgrade your PHP version. I had to ask an admin to patch mine for me. SMF is a disaster if you ask me. You should consider MyBB.

    Yea I installed it to the root folder.. and I already got my account upgraded :/

    Think I'll ditch it and try again.

    Delete everything from the public_html folder. (File Manager)

    Then delete the database from the MySQL section.

    You should also consider using another bulletin board. SMF is too messy. Especially for people who like something simple.

    Try MyBB or PhpBB3.

    I deleted what you told me to, but when I tried to install PhpBB Fantastico said

    "The installation can not be completed:

    - You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain."

    :/

    Thanks for all this help dude, really appreciate it

    When you sign into Fantastico click Remove SMF. Its on the first thing, it says Installed then will say SMF. It will tell you it hasnt removed proberly since you have manually removed it, but it should let you install another script nevertheless.

    Re: SMF install help.

    Okay, it was still moaning about something but I installed it to - http://psycho.pcriot.com/forum

    When I look at the Fantastico part it seems to be fine -

    Current installations:
    /forum (3.0.2) Visit site Remove

    However.... when I got to http://psycho.pcriot.com/forum

    There's nothing there :/

    SMF again? Keep pressing f5 and it will come up.

    There is a thread on this issue, I will post back in a min when I find it...

    Thank you fearghal for looking that up.

    mrshambles you could have done a search ,like fearghal had done, first before starting a new thread. It is stated in the rules (if not, I will add).
