Hello I'm A NooB !
Say I just signed on with my 1st Host
I'm a Complete Idiot when it comes to computers
My host offers phpbb and smf only
Question: How do I download MyBB directly to my New site ????
I was told by my Host that I have fantastico
and that I can add mybb to my site
But they want to charge me for it
How do I do it myself ?
Throw me a Bone wouldjah ?
I really like your software
and the support seems Fantastic
Thank you !
1. Download 1.4.13 from the downloads page.
2. Upload to your host.
3. Extract.
4. Rename "Upload" to whatever you want to call it.
5. Navigate to yoursite.com/yourforumname/install/
6. Install like normal
Who's your host that costs extra for a superior forum script? Seriously?

First of all
Thank you ! Sir
As far as what cost's extra
I could'nt tell you
Realize that I know Nothing, lol truely
My host is GatorHost
Do I extract from Fantastico ?
I've never seen a Cpanel before
Thanks !
Fantastico is just an auto-installer. What I do to upload is use the File Manager inside cPanel. Click "Upload" on the top and choose the .zip file of MyBB. Then right-click the newly-uploaded .zip file and select "Extract." Two folders will be made: Documentation and Upload. The latter is the actual forum, the former is just for reference.

Well when I download from the download page
all I'm getting is a Notepad full of script ?????
instead of an Archive file like my Host told me
They think that it is this site that is having problems
Dunno

As I said follow these directions
http://wiki.mybboard.net/index.php/Installing
If you can follow those directions than I am afraid your not capable of running a forum.
Archive: /home/xxxxx/public_html/mybb_1413-2.zip
error [/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/mybb_1413-2.zip]: missing 453265328 bytes in zipfile
(attempting to process anyway)
error [/home/vxxxxxxxxx/public_html/mybb_1413-2.zip]: attempt to seek before beginning of zipfile
(please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly)
Well this is what I'm seeing in Cpanel
