Ok remember I am not smart when it comes to this. (Never used a Cpanel) Log in to Cpanel...Ok I figured that out (wow) It takes me to the Account {root} folder? << ??? Im confused.... I went to 'file manager' and saw public Html, but I don't know if this is right, and I clicked it and something that says Upload files showed up... I'm just confused here..... Oh and you said Click text for options, and then you said once you find the file? Don't get what you mean cause ....the options don't seem to relate.. I see ; Public_html and under it= www and over it= Public_Ftp <that 1 right? So do I move it to public html?

To be shown on your site, everything must be installed under public_html folder. www folder is the short cut to public_html folder.

When we, or an instruction, talk about create a folder or upload to your directory it is referred to public_html folder using Unix system (that's what our hosting is based on).

Upload all your files to a folder called "forum" or whatever (i.e. public_html/forum) and follow the SMF installation instruction. It's usually yourURL/folder/install.php and the next screen will prompt you to change additional settings to make your SMF installation perfect.

Read carefully and multiple times so that you understand the installation process. I understand your frustration but there's no need to shout in our forum for a help, when your topic title does not state your problem clearly. Furthermore, stating what you have done and tried might help your situation better since some replies to your topic request for clarification.

If you are still having the same or similar problem, you can request me or other members to install SMF on your behalf.

Okay?

Ok I see, so since there are no words showing in some parts, it is because it is not in the public html place? Another words uninstall it and put it in the directory I am guessing...

I'll give it a try and see ....

(PS: Sorry about the topic name, and after 2-3 days of no answer........frustrating...)

Edit 1: Another question, you said upload all, but....all the others in Public_html, or all that exist, or what? And to this 1 FORUM and they will work?

Edit 2: Ok ONE more question, I have used the package manager for mods, because it was easy....sometimes I get a link to them and download them and they will appear as an Icon in the 'desktop' or whatever, you put these in 'forum' too?

Edit 3: PS: How come it won't let me put some in....'Access denied'

Edit 4: Ah this is messed up!!!



Alright I am having no luck at all right now.....any ideas?

Edit 5: Ok now I think I got this right, but it can't find it now....



Ok guys, 24 hours later and no reply....I'm sorry but I need help, I can't even get to my forum now! (I hate it when I don't know what I am doing)
