Ok i installed the whole thing and i can see my forums but theres a problem. I cant access the admin panel so in effect the foum is useless cause there are no categories and i cant make any threads. Plz help
Oh ya.
The error it shows is
Scion Technologies Forums Admin Page Wrote:Language (../inc/languages/) is not installed
Plz help.
ok, is inc/languages/ folder uploaded?? If so is inc/languages/english/admin/ folder there too?
Ya i fixed it. Both the folders were there but there were some mysql probs.
I'm having exactly the same problem. All the folders are on the server, but I can't get onto the 'admin' page.
What was wrong with mysql? It might be the same prob with mine.
Also, on the final installation page it says all is successfully set up
~~~~~~~
Inserting MyBB settings...done
Creating Administrator account...done
Setting up basic board settings...done
Building cache's...done
Installation has successfully been completed.
Please remove this directory before exploring your copy of MyBB.

But at the top of that page, the following text is displayed:-
Warning: fopen(../inc/settings.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/*****/public_html/forum/install/index.php on line 435
Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/*****/public_html/forum/install/index.php on line 436
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/*****/public_html/forum/install/index.php on line 437
Help please?!
You did not set the permissions on inc/settings.php to 777 or 666 which means it wasnt able to write the settings and that is why you're receiving that message.
Please chmod the file and then run the installer
Sorted, thank you. ( I'm sure I chmod'ed that file first!!)
Read what I said before, you didn't chmod settings.php before you ran the installer and it wasn't able to store the settings. Please chmod it to 777 (like you did with config.php) then run the installer again.

This seems to be a bug. When you enter your board name/title, enter
Jamie\'s Forum and it should work (it'll remove the slash).
