Okay,

I just got Trap17.com #1 Package.

- My main piority is to have a phpbb 2.0.14 forum, or IPB 2.0 (Trial).

- But, When I upload it via ftp (Cuteftp), It works etc.

- Then, when I go to my site.. mysite.trap17.com/forums - nothing happens...

- Whats wrong? It says nothing is there? Do I need to do something in cpanel?

- Even if I dont have a mySql database, I should still be able to see it...

- Thanks in Advance..

You shouldn't upload forums using FTP and nothing else. You do need to edit your database. There's supposed to be a forum in the cpanel which will make your forum on the spot without having to upload anything. You could go to Control Panel and under Pre-installed scripts, there's phpBB. Click it and it'll install your forum for you, and you don't need to do a thing.

I highly recommend that. But unless you don't want phpBB, it's your choice.

Trap17 Website Building Tips For Beginners - For a non-technical beginner's first site (2)

Now you've got your Trap17 free hosting account, what do you do with it? This is not a
tutorial on how to use everything available on Trap17 free hosting accounts. This is just a brief
overview to give you an idea on where to start. I am not an extremely technical person myself, I
know a little bit of HTML and CSS, and that's about it. So this is written for a non-technical
beginner who knows little or nothing about building websites.
