just upload the forums file into your webserver, then do some CHMOD settings on the files, then you will be instructed to create a MySQL database and after that, run the forum installer file

yes, simply upload the files into your site and chmod the relevant directories. Do not anyhow chmod as it might leave a backdoor to hackers.
If you're looking for a good CMS, try joomla or mambo. Feel free to pm me if you got any questions.  |
