Well, I read the above posting guideline on what to have in this post, and this is all I can come up with.
I am not new to forums, especially that of phpBB, and MyBB. But.. I have always been the "Public Admin". I was never the admin to set a forum up from scrath. Now, I want to try to start on my own forum, and see how it goes on my own home server.
Currently I have donwloaded this-
MyBB 1.4.9
http://www.mybboard.net/downloads
and
MyBB 1.4 Merge BETA
[For mergin my existing SQL from a phpBB board]
http://www.mybboard.net/downloads/merge-system
To set up my own home server, I have downloaded this -
Wamp Server 2.0i
http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php
Now, I am new to setting up forum software on my home server, can anyone please tell me how to do the rest from here? Or maybe point me to a very well detailed tutorial online on how to start with the softwares I currently have?
I really want to setup my own forum software on my home server via WAMP Server, and soon go to a VPS. The problem is I do not know where to get started, so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!
here is a screen shot of where i got so far, because I am such a n00b
