OK so is there like an installation for dummies somewhere because I can't get my head around what you have to do to upload things. I'm no genius and this is the first time I have tried to upload a message board but I just don't understand what i'm meant to be doing. Please can someone explain it in simple terms.

emm there is not a lot to it dude.

Are you saying you dont know how to upload ?

Well go to http://www.flashfxp.com

And dowload a copy of flashfxp for free

Its very easy to do and unlike cgi you dont need to
chmod any files with php for it to run correctly.

Good Luck

Seems like Kier's tutorial link is down in the stickie.
maybe you can pm him and he can get the site
backup.

Its just all about setting up the config.php
and running the install.php.

Example in admin/config.php

<?php

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Please note that if you get any errors when connecting, //
// that you will need to email your host as we cannot tell //
// you what your specific values are supposed to be //
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



// type of database running
// (only mysql is supported at the moment)
$dbservertype="mysql";

// hostname or ip of server
$servername="localhost";

// username and password to log onto db server
$dbusername="your db username";
$dbpassword="your db password";

// name of database
$dbname="your db name";

//password needed to enter the control panel
$cppassword="a password for the control panel";

?>

thats about it asumeing your server is all set up
you shouldnt have any problems.


you will need to email your host if you dont know the settings
