MyBB Community Forums

Hey forums, maybe I could get some extra guidance here. I'll admit I'm fairly new to console commands and all, so sorry if I'm slow / not detailed enough / too detailed.

I'm having issues accessing the install link for my forum. I'm using Apache/MySQL/php on a CentOS server. I followed the downloading documentation...

1) Download myBB.
2) Unzip, renamed(to 'forum'), and uploaded to the correct directory.
3) Renamed config.default.php to config.php.
4) Set config and settings to chmod 666.
5) Set cache, cache/themes, uploads, uploads/avatars, languages, and admin/backups to chmod 777.
6) Set up MySQL database.
7) Visited forum site (dreamcraft.org/forum/install).

And then I get the forbidden page :/ Where did I go wrong? Thanks for the help.

/forum and /forum/install appear to be unreadable. folders can have CHMOD 777 or 775 permission

I set /forum and /forum/install to 777, but I'm still getting the forbidden page.

is /install/index.php file readable (CHMOD 664) ?

Edit: contact your web host and ask if they have mod_security enabled. if it is, then ask to disable it.

Found the problem. Files weren't owned by root, so it didn't work. Thanks for your assistance .m., I really appreciate it
