How do I even open the darn thing? Toungue
Go read the wiki. Everything's there.
What do u mean open it ? Have your uploaded it to your server ?
I followed the Wiki, but I don't get the bit about uploading it to my server Confused
Do I need to download a program that opens .ph programs? Because I currently don't have one...
You cant just open it from the zip and use the forum. You need a web hosting account. Free or paid its up to you. Heres a free webhost to get you started : http://www.limedomains.com/hosting

Create an account and upload the contents of the zip folder using the file manger in your web hosting account.

Checkout this video it will help you get your forum installed :


MyBB is not a program for your operating system. It is webware. You need a web hosting account. However, if you don't want a web hosting account, and want only you to be able to access it from your own computer, please consider trying: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

Xampp is a program you can install onto your computer, which will let you run webware. It installs all the necessary software. If you need help configuring Xampp, please let me know.
