uploading a forum

hi all
i am trying to upload a phpbb forum onto my website.
following the tutorial on this but i think I'm doing something wrong because i get to step 5 (Now point your browser to /install/install.php...)

i go to my search bar type in the correct URL and i get an error 404 file not found.
any help appreciated

Hi, of course you need the full path to where /install/install.php is.

For example http://www.yourhosting.com/youradress/i ... nstall.php

Did you upload it to your public_html directory or whatever your main web directory is called on your system?

I suspect that phpbb's support forum will offer better assistance to getting it setup that Smart FTP's.

However, there may be an easy way. If you have cPanel you can, if your host permits it, auto install PHPBB:

http://www.yourdomain.com:2082/frontend ... name=phpBB
Why have a dog and bark yourself? Unless you don't have a dog......

no i still cant get it to work.
i know I'm doing something wrong, just don't know what.

i will keep trying.

i see the php folder in my servers files but still cant get the page when i brows for the install part.
