PHPBB trouble

[ecc4lyfe]

Im having trouble installing a PHPBB forum on my webpage, i uploaded the phpbb2 folder to my ftp address using filezilla. and i edited the config file like a tutorial said I should. but now when i try to do the install, i get the phpbb install screen but its just lines of php script. Can someone help me solve this problem please. its really frustrating, being as this is my first attempt at this, sorry im a n00b :(.

Did you have to CHMOD any directories or files? I would imagine you would have to do the Install folder if its an automated installation.

i might not have done that, but how would I do that, sorry I'm not really definitive on what I might of did, i cant really check Im at school, so since Im a first timer, I'l say no. so how would i do that anyways? Is it how I edited the config file using filezilla?

You dont need to chmod anything.
Please post the errors you get or a link to the page... otherwise it is hard for us to help you.

Sorry, how inconsiderate of me, sorry its a ftp link but i did a few prntscrns, hope it can help.

First after i upped the phpbb2 folder via ftp through filezilla, i edited the config.php file.

Then tried to install by selecting the install.php file in the install directory and essentially got this

heres the tutorial i tried to follow: http://www.phpbb-design.com/faq/install_phpbb.php

is this enough or would you need more info?

You cant do it via FTP... you need to do it via http: http://ecc4lyfe.ulmb.com/phpBB2/install/install.php
Make sure you delete that file when your done!

Because your downloading the file with ftp.
You use the HTTP link to run the php.

[ecc4lyfe]

i have to run the install file from the file manager instead of the ftp, is that what you are saying?

Your FireFox is bug...Use Internet Explorer
Then go to your install directory again which is Tyler posted

After that fill them up, once your done installing delete the folder Install and Contrib from your FTP

alright i got to the install page thanks to the generous help of ulmb, thank you for your kind support.

for the database server do I leave it as localhost and fill in the rest of the info and it automatically creates a database? or do i use the info of my created database:

Database Server Name: mysql
Database: 1210_ecc4lyfe
Username: 1210_ecc4lyfe
pass; xxxxx ?

thank you once again, this has to be the best support staff ever. kind,understanding, and helpful, i appreciate it so much.

You use the information of your created database.
Database Server Name: mysql
Database: 1210_ecc4lyfe
Username: 1210_ecc4lyfe
