OK - there are two upload folders. Which one are you talking about?

/mybb/Upload/uploads

"Uploads" folder has:

tunafish:/home/cwilliams/mybb/Upload# ls
admin              images           newthread.php    sendthread.php
announcements.php  inc              online.php       showteam.php
archive            index.php        polls.php        showthread.php
attachment.php     install          portal.php       stats.php
calendar.php       jscripts         printthread.php  syndication.php
captcha.php        managegroup.php  private.php      uploads
css                member.php       ratethread.php   usercp.php
css.php            memberlist.php   report.php       usercp2.php
editpost.php       misc.php         reputation.php   xmlhttp.php
forumdisplay.php   moderation.php   rss.php
global.php         newreply.php     search.php

Then there is the "uploads" folder which is a sub-folder of Upload mentioned above and this has the following contents:

tunafish:/home/cwilliams/mybb/Upload/uploads# ls
avatars  index.html

You then say upload just the contents but WHERE do I upload them to? I need to know where to specifically place them to and from so I can get this working.

Thanks!

If you use your localhost thene you have to go to your www folder. and creat any folder inside it, as example creat folder called 'MyBB' inside your www folder, the copy the all files in the 'upload' folder to 'MyBB' folder.
then go to this link
http://localhost/MyBB/install

and work on the installtion wizard.

sorry for my bad English but am trying my best,

Ok - thanks. That makes sense to me. I really appreciate your help! Only one question I still have is which Upload folder are we talking about?

I have an "Upload" folder and in that folder there is a sub folder called "uploads".

PS - Your English is fine!

no, the main one "upload"

And you verry wellcome mate

Ah - so all this then should get moved.

Upload# ls
admin              images           newthread.php    sendthread.php
announcements.php  inc              online.php       showteam.php
archive            index.php        polls.php        showthread.php
attachment.php     install          portal.php       stats.php
calendar.php       jscripts         printthread.php  syndication.php
captcha.php        managegroup.php  private.php      uploads
css                member.php       ratethread.php   usercp.php
css.php            memberlist.php   report.php       usercp2.php
editpost.php       misc.php         reputation.php   xmlhttp.php
forumdisplay.php   moderation.php   rss.php
global.php         newreply.php     search.php

**Update**

I moved all that into a folder /var/www/forums/ and then went to the following URL:

http://localhost.domain.org/forum/install

I get this window message that I can't or don't know how to display.

it's realy strange to me, but try this
Edited : http://localhost.domain.org/forum/install/index.php

This was moved to the proper place.

Make sure Apache is sending PHP files to be executed by PHP before sending it out to the browser (probably somewhere in the Apache configuration)
