MyBB Community Forums

Can anyone tell me how to install MyBB on my PC.
I run windows vista home premium.
Thank you.

If you download something like Wampserver you'll get a C:\wamp\www\ folder where you can put the files and install as normal. Remember this should just be used as a localhost testing forum, and not to host a live site.

Thank you what would i do about a MySQL database and i am going to use it to help me learn how to make themes without messing up my site. LOL.

After you've installed Wampserver you'd go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ and make a database. Then if you made a folder in C:\wamp\www\ called mybb (i.e. C:\wamp\www\mybb\) then you'd go to http://localhost/mybb/ to view it.

How do i make a database im MyPHP Admin, sorry about this.

There's a box called Create new database, just put the name in there. Then when you install MyBB the server name is loclahost, username is root, leave the password blank, and then use the name of the database you just made.

Thank you i didn't know what the password was.

What would the cookie domain be?

The domain it blank. The cookie settings that the installer gives you will be OK.

Yay i have it installed, second times a charm lol.

Just wanted to say thanks too. I read this thread and decided to install it myself.
