How do we set up a forum with SMF? When I press extract, it downloads the file. This is messed up....

I logged into my CPanel and briefly studied the various modules available and decided I was going to
install drupal. When I tried to I got this message "- You chose to install in the main directory
of the domain internet-marketing.trap17.com, but there are conflicting filenames, therefore we can
not proceed. Following filenames already exist in the main directory of the domain
internet-marketing.trap17.com (path="/home/XXXXXXXX/public_html/").You must manually remove these
files before proceeding with auto-installation: images" Exactly what do I do now? http://www...

My situation: I started the cpanel process and clicked on fantastico to begin downloading phpBB2
automatically on it. It had told me it couldn't continue the process because there were items
that needed to be deleted, so I deleted everything, the mail regenerated itself fortunately, when I
reinstalled the phpBB2 discussion board via fantastico I looked at the ftp folder and then tried to
access the site via IE web browser. I got a 404 page. "Not Found The requested URL / was not found
on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying...

I was wondering, and I am horrible with Cpanels mind you, how to install a new theme. I have an smf
discussion board and I decided to download a theme from the theme place for smf. So it downloads,
and appears in winrar. When I extract it, it comes with a big pile of files, with 2 folders:
Language, and Images. First question is: Do I install these somewhere in the 'File manager'
in cpanel? Ok if yes: Where? Third: Do the main files, language , and image go in different
places? Fourth: There is about 4584305834098 image files, is there a quicker way to get ...

Ok I feel really really stupid (Which I am when it comes to this) but anyway on the SMF forum, there
is a package manager, you click install, and it installs the mods on the forum. However, sometimes
it gives you a link, to download the mod. So yeah I download it, and it appears on my desktop as a
bunch of icons that only make a million tabs appear when opened. I was wondering where in the world
am I supposed to put these mods so that they will work? I have tried some things but they did
nothing... Please help! Why Don't I ever get any replies! ...

I'm very sorry for making so many topics, but just now I can't get to my forum because of
this! QUOTE Fatal error: Cannot redeclare addlinenumbers() (previously declared in

3721 Help me please! (PS: sorry for being so dumb)...

Hello, I hope this is the right place to post this, I couldn't find any other place where this
would fit. Weeks ago, I uploaded a picture to go with my username. Yet I notice it does not show
up, only when I click my username on the left of the forum, it shows up. I did notice that with
other users, their picture shows up next to (or underneath) their name. I was wondering why this is
happening. Thanks. ...

I recently got involved in a Forum software script which is being developed and thought I should let
everyone know that they need some assistance in the PHP, MySql, Html, and CSS areas. Also, some
Visual Designers would be quite useful. AEF Forum Software is the name of the project. It is
presently in version 1.0.3, and have some pretty cool features already, but in order to advance in
its standings against such Boards as IPB, phpbb, Yabb, etc, more features and Themes are required.
Good bunch of people working hard, but just not enough of us to do everything. Come h...

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

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 ch...

Hello! I was just wondering how I go about installing the phpbb forum on my site. I assume I

Everybody knows of sites that can give you free forums like ipbfree, mnvisionfree, forumer, and many
others. My question is this, I read some where a while back that you were not allowed to have those
types of services on your board, meaning it was forbidden to have other people get boards and host
them on your site. I wanted to uploadf a scirpt that allowes you to have a service similar toi
those listed abov. Now I know that is against the ruoes, but I wanted to have a service like that,
but not enable everyone to be able to make oone. See I watned to make some cont...

Hey, I'm currently running Joomla and PhPBB (through a bridge I found online) I'm really not
satisfied with it though...The login/registration process is very buggy (not technically bugged
since its supposed to work that way) but is very unreliable. I was wondering if anybody could
reccomend a good Forum/Portal or CMS combo I can use to post news/picture files/etc on a main
page/section of the website, and have integrated forums that run smoothly login/registration wise
with a minimum upkeep time. Any input is very valuable, anything is better than what I'm...
