Isaac:
Upload the files to your host, and run install.php

MissMermaid:
Ok I got rid of everything.  Starting again.

I use go daddy hosting.

In the value applications you can select SMF as an application. (thats how I found smf)

Do I need a content manager first.

Once installed do I go into the mysql to install/run make it work next.

Panzer-:
Does your hosting account support PHP 4, and MySQL 3 ? If you have cpanel or phpmyadmin (http://yoursite.com/cpanel or http://yoursite.com/phpmyadmin) follow these steps.

Like sleepy said, if you have Fantastico in your cpanel, you can automatically install it.
For cpanel go to MySQL databases and follow the steps below...
For phpmyadmin follow the steps below...

You need to create a MySQL database. Call it smf also set a password for it.
Create a user in that database called smf , again set a password for it.
Give that user full privilages, tick all the boxes.

Upload all of your SMF folder to your webhost.
Follow the rest of the install guide, it shouldnt be hard..

MissMermaid:
Well I did it.

The problem was it (my hosting) did it automaticly LOL and I was trying to follow the install instructions (from the website smf).

I found the admin button with all the other buttons just didnt see it.

I did set up a sql database so maybe that helped too - not to sure but it worked.

Trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. LOL

Thanks for all your help.

Panzer-:
No problem :) Glad i/we could help.
