Hello. I'm new to installing my own php forums on my own home server. I've made it pretty far and all seems well except for the Admin CP. Here is a pic:
![[Image: mybb_admin_cp.jpg]](https://camo.mybb.com/2dd20e136abffceaa31c2d6aa530ac64aeb28bff/687474703a2f2f64656d6f6e3634362e64796e646e732e6f72672f6d7962625f61646d696e5f63702e6a7067)
This is what I see when I click on Admin CP. I'm not sure what I did wrong during the install. I've even made a new mysql database name just for these boards and reinstalled the whole thing 2 times.\
I also tried to copy the /admin/ folder over again. Maybe I need to re-copy something that I missed?
Let me know if you have any ideas!
Thanks!

What's the CHMOD of ./inc/languages/english/ ??
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2010-11-14 04:15 english
I was following this file in the documentation:
file:///D:/mybb/Documentation/install.html
and it said to chmod these:
Quote:# 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)
CHMOD the following folders to 777 (ie, make sure that PHP can write to and execute from them).
./cache/
./cache/themes/
./uploads/
./uploads/avatars/
./admin/backups/ (optional)
I didn't change it, but I changed the files inside it to chmod 666 inc/languages/english/*
Add / Upload language/english/admin/ files in correct places.

if you meant
./inc/languages/english/admin
then I copied all of them the first time here.

If you meant something else, let me know. Do you think I should re-upload them and overwrite? and if so, should I re-chmod all the files to 666?

"drwxr-xr-x" as stated above. Did you need to know something else that I'm not understanding?
Let me know.
Thanks!
You need to specify that in number form.
Ok.. I'm looking into this CHMOD further, and I've done this:
CHMOD 666 inc/languages/english/*
Which changed the files to 666 (I think
)
but if you guys are refering to the folder 'english', then I've not changed it and it's still drwxr-xr-x

oh.. sorry.. ok I'm pretty sure that the folder 'english' is 755. Files inside are 666
I've checked this with a chmod calculator:
