Hi, i'm new here and I would like to know how I can and if I can install a myBB forum on Godaddy.com
I would also like to know how I can put my forum on my domain like that :
www.example.com/forum
Thank you very much !
I think you need a server first.
EDITED:
MyBB is as easy as 5 minutes of time to install. Here is the lowdown on how-to:
- Download MyBB
- Create a MySQL Database on your host via cPanel
- Create a MySQL user in your cPanel
- Assign the database user to the newly created database
- Create an FTP Account
- I recomment Downloading FileZilla to do your FTP transfers
- Install FileZilla
- User your sites name w/o www. to enter the information for 'host' - (Example- yoursite.com)
- Use your cPanel Username and Password to login to FileZilla assigning the port as 21-22
- Locate the Public_html directory
- In your Public_html directory create a folder called forums
- Drag and Drop the contents of the Upload folder to your forums folder in public_html directory
- Do the proper CHMOD measures before trying to install found here
(CHMOD Note: CHMOD'ing in FileZilla, you right click the files/folders and go to 'File Permissions' and change them to the ones labeled here)
- go to your site and run the installer (yoursite.com/forums/install)
- Next go through the installer, it only takes about 5 minutes
Note: Make sure to have your new MySQL database information handy username/password/etc before running the installer
