MyBB Community Forums

Hello!
im trying to install the new version of mybb but the installation instructions is a bit confusing and i couldnt get it to work on my first try even though my installation went fine

when you download the package you have install.html in the documentation folder and there it says:

Quote:CHMOD the following files to 666 (ie, make sure that PHP can write to them).

./inc/settings.php
./uploads
./uploads/avatars
./cache
./cache/themes

but in the wiki here on myybb it says:

Quote:The files and folders that require CHMODing for MyBB to install are

filename CHMOD Permission
--------------------------------------------
inc/config.php 777
inc/settings.php 777
uploads/ 777
uploads/avatars/ 777

so i wonder what is the right way?
i got it installed the first time when i used the install.html in the documentation folder but when i launched my forum everything was just blank

hope to get some help and im sorry my bad english

ty!

Either way should work, but I suggest using CHMOD 777

Ty for the super fast answer!
i will try that hope it will work
ty again

ok so now everything is fine except in admin panel!
i cant do anything without getting 403 forbidden

Quote:Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /myadmin/index.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

so i search about the problem and got to this thread Here

but i dont really understand what i should do i changed the htacess.txt to .htacess but should i change the text in the file also?

i dont even know if that is my problem

tnx for the help!

Go to your forum directory (e.g. /forums/ or whatever yours is..) and find htaccess.txt, (if it's .htaccess leave it at that name.) but it it's htacess.txt and rename to .htacess. (If that made any sense. ) and add in the code..
