I uploaded the files into my site using Dreamweaver CS3.

The server is using Windows.

If I go to www.mtbpagosa.com/forum/install I get...

Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

I go to the files in Dreamweaver, right click, choose Set Permissions and try to change to 777 and get Settings access properties failed for: /forum/inc/config.default.php

Contacted company that hosts site, they do not know why this is happening.

Any ideas?
Change it to config.php

And go to http://www.mtbpagosa.com/forum/install/index.php
When I tried to change to config.php I get an FTP error. Now out of curiosity I tried changing it to configt.php and that was allowed. So its not that I am not allowed to change the name, but rather to that specific name.

I also tried changing the permissions to

inc/config.php
inc/settings.php
uploads/
uploads/avatars/

and received the same error

Huh

EDIT

I just clicked on the link that you provided, now I know that I entered that address before and it didnt work, but now I have something, Back soon
Well 1.4 needs:

./inc/config.php to be 666
./inc/settings.php to be 666
./uploads/ to be 777
./uploads/avatars/ to be 777
./cache/ to be 777
./cache/themes to be 777

And if you want:

./inc/languages to 777
and ./admin/backups to 777

And if you can't do that, it won't work.

Run the installer and see if that changes the perms itself.
I have made it to the WizardBig Grin

but now I get...

Database Configuration

It is now time to configure the database that MyBB will use as well as your database authentication details. If you do not have this information, it can usually be obtained from your webhost.

Fatal error: Class 'DB_SQLite' not found in d:\inetpub\mtbpagosa.com\forum\install\index.php on line 492


Any Ideas?
Do you have a database??
Ok, this is the part where I look stupid...

What do you mean, Database?

Prior to the page with the error I got the following...

PHP Version: 5.0.5
Supported DB Extensions: SQLite 2
Supported Translation Extensions: iconv
PHP XML Extensions: Installed
Configuration File Writable: Writable
Settings File Writable: Writable
Cache Directory Writable: Writable
File Uploads Directory Writable: Writable
Avatar Uploads Directory Writable: Writable

Congratulations, you meet the requirements to run MyBB.

Click Next to continue with the installation process.
Well you need a database to save all the data to.
Thank you Matt for all your help, it appears that this software is not compatible with the database used on my server. I will need to use another program, again thank you for your quick responses.
