^fine for me as well. Are you sure you were going to ./Upload/install?

Looks like you are using a sub-domain, which is basically sub-directory, of the host site, that is being forwarded from an HTTP based root directory, to a sub-directory. That sub-directory, is actually what you see as being the root directory of your website.

Calling server: Root
Main Server HTTP directory: HTTP_Root

The file structure is:
./Root/HTTP_Root

Your domain is: Sub_Domain
./Root/HTTP_Root/Sub_Domain

The html of www.co.cc is:
./Root/HTTP_Root

The html of http://bigthinkerforums.co.cc/ is:
./Root/HTTP_Root/Sub_Domain

You've FTP'd myBB to
./Root/HTTP_Root/Sub_Domain/Uploads
the install
./Root/HTTP_Root/Sub_Domain/Uploads/install
the install file
./Root/HTTP_Root/Sub_Domain/Uploads/install/index.php

Without something, usually an empty index.html, in your Sub_Domain root, will cause the HTTP server to think your site is not there. So any directories below, don't exist to the HTTP server, unless you link to directly in the browser, with "http://bigthinkerforums.co.cc/Upload/".

To fix this.

Remove everything in the upload sub-directory, of the service provider, NOT YOUR PC.

Then take the files/sub-directories on your PC in the "upload" folder, then either ftp it to the "./Root/HTTP_Root/Sub_Domain" folder, which on your site, is currently the one above "Upload". Or create a new directory say "forums", in lieu of "Upload".

Option 1: "http://bigthinkerforums.co.cc/install/index.php"
Option 2:"http://bigthinkerforums.co.cc/forums/install/index.php"

No, you still need to run the install script. When you click the link I posted above does it take you to the installation page or a 404?

I checked last night, it pulls up a 404, in this case a custom URL "http://error404.000webhost.com/?"

I'd suggest.
(1) Delete the database
(2) Recreate the database
(3) FTP to your account, make note if you see "/uploads" as part of your initial login directory. If your FTP program is pointing to "./Root/HTTP_Root/HTTP_Sub_Domain/" or as you see "/" in the FTP window. Or if you have to go to sub-directory to find "/uploads", then that is the HTTP_Sub_Domain directory
(4) via FTP delete the Uploads remote directory
(5) re-FTP the mybb files to either your HTTP_Sub_Domain directory, which is the top level of your website. Or a sub-directory of your choosing like ./forums.

See my last detailed post for where to find the install/index.php depending on which way you go. I pretty sure the 404 is there, because you've done an install, and that install directory is now locked.

Where are you seeing a 404? Because the install page loads fine for me - http://bigthinkerforums.co.cc/Upload/install/

^what? when i got to that link i am getting redirected to webhost and it says 404 error.
could you please tell me hat country you are in so i can use a proxy from that country to see if that is the issue?

Works fine for me too. We're both in the UK.
