Thanks a lot for the assistance... Can a moderator please lock this?

 

 

 

[hide]Currently, I am attempting to make a forum of my own using phpBB Version 2.0.22. Using the hosting services provided by 1111mb.com, I created a MYsql Database, and I'm attempting to use the MYsql database to host the forums. Unfortunately, MYsql has been a bit complicated, and I cannot seem to understand what I ought to do in order to use phpBB's forum on a MYSQL database. Any help is appreciated.

 

 

 

Note: I did try following the phpBB installation guide, but unfortunately, it sheds no light onto how I ought to create the forum.[/hide]

create a database - check?

 

upload the phpbb software to your webhost - check?

 

go to ./install from the phpbb dir - check?

 

follow said prompts - check?

 

 

 

 

 

That's really all you have to do, where'd you drop the ball? :-?

You see, I've created the database, however, the problem is how I'm supposed to upload the Phpbb software onto it.

Ugh. FTP. >_>

you have a host server, I presume? I suggest you upload phpmyadmin to the server in addition to phpbb, so you can manage the database more easily. once it is all on the server, go to http://www.yoursite.com/forum/install.php

 

(if you installed phpbb to /forum/)
