I just cannot get past the second step of the installation. I mean I have installed more complicaed programs than VB.

The installation is stuck at:

Cannot find config.php file and cannot create new one automatically.

Make sure that you have uploaded it and that it is in the admin directory. It should look something like this:

<?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="root";
$dbpassword="";

// name of database
$dbname="forum";

// technical email address - any error messages will be emailed here
$technicalemail = "[email protected]";

// use persistant connections to the database
// 0 = don't use
// 1 = use
$usepconnect = 1;

?>
Make sure that when you upload the config.php file that there is no spaces before or after the

Once you have uploaded the new config.php file, reload this page.

I have changed everything and even check it twice, but I am still getting this message.

Please advise what I need to do next.

Thanks.

In the upload/admin/ directory is a file called config.php.new

As noted in the members area, 'new installation instructions' to alter this file to your database settings and save it as config.php

Upload the config.php file to the admin/ dir and you can continue to step 3.

So what you are saying is that now there will only be a config.php file and not a config.php.new - right?
