I was installing shoutbox 2.2 to my MyBB using FileZilla, and I saw that inside my Inc folder there's no plugins folder, just "Languages", "Jscripts", "Public_html"

And the instructions to install shoutbox said:

Plugin/inc/plugins/shoutbox.php to /inc/plugins/

I tried just installing it directly into my Inc folder and followed the rest of the steps and complete the installment, the shoutbox plugin didn't appear in my Configuration>Plugins.

There's a plugin section in my ACP's configuration page.

So how should I add a Plugin folder?

Upload shoutbox.php to ./inc/plugins/

It does exist:
http://slasher.hostoi.com/inc/plugins/

You'll find it:
public_html/inc/plugins

You need to put it inside of your inc folder, and then plugin folder. Depending on what FTP client you use (let's say FileZilla), you can right click > add directory > name it plugins and then put the plugin in there

I found the Inc/plugins folder inside Public_html. I think I have 2 Inc folder.

After I installed it and I went to my ACP>Configuration>Plugins.

Inside the Plugins category is this message: /home/a2139996/public_html/inc/languages/english/admin/shoutbox.lang.php does not exist

You need to upload the language files from the download to ./inc/languages/

Just to be sure, do you mean download the shoutbox.lang.php to Inc>Languages? But the instruction was:

Plugin/inc/languages/english/shoutbox.lang.php to /inc/languages/english/ (this is the 2nd step)
I accidentally clicked on something.

No, upload everything from the ./inc/languages/ folder within the plugin's files to your site's ./inc/languages/ folder.

It didn't work. I dragged the plugins's language folder to my Inc's language folder.

Or should I just drag the plugin's Inc into my Inc?

Just drag the whole of the inc folder to your inc folder.

Still has that same message. I log out of my account and relogged, if I click into the Plugins page, it's the same message.http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/12/12...6-plug.jpg
