I am new to MyBB and stuck on No. 3 installation directions. Below is step 3. What is meant by by "CHMOD", how do I do this and can you give me an example of what a file looks like after I CHMOD it to 666?

CHMOD the following files to 666 (ie, make sure that PHP can write to them).
./inc/settings.php
./inc/config.php (you must rename config.default.php to config.php first)
./inc/languages/*your_language*/*all files* (optional)
./inc/languages/*your_language*/admin/*all files* (optional)

Thanks very, very much,

Dave

Just to clarify, only files should be CHMODed to 666. Folder should be CHMODed to 777 (the optional ones you listed above are folders).

CHMOD is something you usually do in an FTP client, so you should look at your help files/documentation for your FTP client for more info. If you use Filezilla, here's a tutorial: http://www.phpjunkyard.com/ftp-chmod-tutorial.php
