Hi all,
I followed the installation instructions by doing the following:
1. Uploading "Upload" folder to my server.
2. Changing CHMOD to "666" of the following:
./inc/settings.php
./inc/config.php
./uploads
./uploads/avatars
3. When I tried to follow the following instructions it wouldn't display a pagel:
In your browser, visit the URL where you installed your forums, appending /install/ on to the end of it. If you installed your forums to http://www.yoursite.com/forums/ then you would visit http://www.yoursite.com/forums/install/.
Any assistance would be appreciated,
J
you didn't specify any particular problem in your message...but I can see the step one being a problem....you should upload the CONTENTS of the Upload folder on your server into a forum like 'forum' (or whatever you wish to have the forum under). Once that is done...do the CHMODS, and then the last step...
so in short....don't upload the UPLOAD-folder as is, but the contents of it....or alternatively you can upload teh UPLOAD-folder but then I would rename it into something like FORUM...
cheers,
Kimmo
I did the exact steps both of you mentionned already, however all I get when trying to access the
http://www.yoursite.com/forum/ is the following message:
Index of /forum
Name Last modified Size Description

Parent Directory 12-Feb-2006 20:37 -

Apache/1.3.34 Server at
http://www.yoursite.com/forum/ Port 80
http://www.yoursite.com is your real website-address...I know a lot of scripts use it as a placeholder and ask people to replace it with the real URL when installing....but if
www.yoursite.com is indeed yours, then I can't replicate the error you are seeing...
now if the URL is something else....and you're getting the filelist for the directory...are you sure you have PHP-parser on your server? If yes, is your server realizing that index.php should be on the list of 'default documents'? Might want to turn off directory-browsing off anyway....
Sorry for asking a stupid qns.
Where can I find:
./inc/settings.php
./inc/config.php
./uploads
./uploads/avatars
I tried looking for a long time, only managed to find the first 2
Hello there,
using any of the software u are uploading ur files with. find these files as correspondence
in the directory you have uploaded all mybb files to you will find all the files you need (e.g ursite.com/forums or ursite.com/upload)
the 1st part (E.G. /inc) is actually a directory (folder) called inc
and uploads is a folder called uploads , note it's not upload it is uploadS. inside it u may find avatars. if u didn't find it on ur server, them u must have missed to upload it
so open each as displayed in ur post, and chmod them.
regards

Quote:1. Uploading "Upload" folder to my server.
2. Changing CHMOD to "666" of the following:
./inc/settings.php
./inc/config.php
./uploads
./uploads/avatars
i changed chmod al of them and started to install
i see this notice in Requirement checks step
The MyBB Requirements check failed due to the reasons below. MyBB installation cannot continue because you did not meet the MyBB requirements. Please correct the errors below and try again:
The avatars directory (uploads/avatars/) is not writable. Please adjust the chmod permissions to allow it to be written to.
I ve tried to change ch mode and my admin panel says: its ok.
but it doesnt work and i see this notice again.
