MyBB Community Forums

I uploaded myBB using filezilla. When I go to my web site the screen is blank.

Background. Host is LunarPages with the newest cPanel. Before I knew about filezilla I uploaded myBB manually 1 file at a time (PITA). When I went to my website there was a directory tree but no Install screen. Then I reuploaded using filezilla and now the screen is blank. (Corrupted or deleted Index File?)

There are 2 other sites in public_html making a total of 3 including myBB which is the only forum. The other 2 sites work fine.
Thanks for your help!

What's your form's URL?

Did you give MyBB its own directory? If not, create a folder and name it "forum" or something along those lines(this can always be changed).

Try going to the install page anyway. Just go to your browser and go to yourdomain.com/forum/install/install.php

It should be yourdomain.com/forum/install/index.php Not install.php

Thanks for the help.

I've tried "www.holomogordo.com/forum/install/index.php" and I get this error message...Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/barbi2/public_html/hollomogordo.com/forum/inc/class_core.php on line 18

Re-upload inc/class_core.php

I tried re uploading the inc/class_core.php file and got the same result. I even re unzipped the entire package and uploaded it. BTW, line 18 refers to the version number. This is the newest version I downloaded a couple of days ago.

Here are the first several lines of inc/class_core.php

Do you have PHP 5 installed on your server?

I'm very disappointed. If I can't get mybb running by tomorrow I'll have to try a different forum program. Any suggestions which program I should try?
