MyBB Community Forums

After going through the setup, I get to the part where I put in the mysql username and password, database name and so on. I click next and it goes no where. I don't think the database is being created and the install just stops there.

When I go to the forum dir I get this:

Warning: main(./inc/db_.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/forum/global.php on line 70

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './inc/db_.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/forum/global.php on line 70


What can I do to get this to install?

myBB doesn't create the DB, you have to in phpMyAdmin, name is something like forum, then where it asks for database name, put forum

myBB only creates the tables inside the database.

That error is specific to config.php not being chmod writable (666) and MyBB cannot store the database type and details because of that.

Please use your FTP client to chmod config.php too (its in the inc directory).
