MyBB has detected that it is running from the "Upload" directory.
While there is nothing wrong with this, it is recommended that your upload the contents of the "Upload" directory and not the directory itself.
For more information please see the MyBB Docs.
I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how to get out of this? I'm new to this entire thing but when looking at the
www file in Filezilla, it won't open.

Any help would be greatly appreciated? I want the forum to be the main part of the site.
move all contents of Upload folder to htdocs folder (root folder of your site)
and you can run the installer by typing your site url in browser
Perfect! Only now it won't let me install it. It reads-

Thank you!
please contact your web host and inform them that MySQL DB extension is not available for installing a forum script.
I have a database as the web host has created one. Simply don't know how to implement it, I guess?
Thank you!
^ most probably it needs to be fixed by your web host.
