| | I am getting very frustrated as I cannot for the life of me figure out how to install phpbb completely.
I've uploaded all the files using FTPSmart. I think clicked on the install.php fine, and was taken to the screen where I fill everything out. It says I successfully did all that:
Your admin username has been created. At this point your basic installation is complete. You will now be taken to a screen which will allow you to administer your new installation. Please be sure to check the General Configuration details and make any required changes. Thank you for choosing phpBB 2.
-----
However, when I click on the "Finish Installation" button, it takes me right back to the Install PHPBB screen that I already filled out!!!
I am so confused and frustrated by this and cannot get it to work. Please help! |

Ya well I can't help you sorry, are you sure you added the database, permissions, and database username correctly?

I didn't change anything with the permissions of the database, but yeah, I did username_databasename.

Well, I guess you better check the permissions on the databse you created, even the password and stuff. It happened with me 5 times with WordPress and in the end I figured out that I skipped one letter in the password.

I think I might have found the problem... I have to make a username/password combo for the Database to use, right?

in username did u put databasename? cuz the username is really just your cbox username, it automatically adds the username_ to the front of database name, so make sure you didnt do like rosaline_rosaline_databasename (like you typed in rosaline_databasename) and for permissions did u add the username so it has all permissions ot the database?

to be honest, just do mybb...plus theres a great guide on it too. http://www.mybboard.net/http://community.mybboard.net/showthread.php?tid=6361its really good, i would definatly use mybb, I could help you with that too. But it seems easier and better

Oh well. You did CHMOD them? Or better yet, download another fresh copy and then upload it, guess you've already done that. Anyways, what you can always do is if you trust someone on this forum, you can let him/her to the uploading and setting up for you, maybe while one of the moderators are free. Some who are experienced with phpBB, like jlhaslip. Ask him like around when he'll be free for 5 minutes.

I Need Help Uploading The Install Files

QUOTE Obtaining SMF You can download the latest beta from the download page on the

fresh installs, you should download one of the "install" packages as these contain all the files
needed to get up and running. We suggest you download the zip option as this is most common and
therefore you are more likely to have the tools required to unzip it already installed on your
computer. Unzip the package, ensuring you keep the directory structure, if you are using Windows ...
