SMF Support > Install and Upgrade Help
I seriously need help.
JakePorter1995:
Got it, thanks. Now, this is what comes on my screen;
Can you give me a step-by-step guide on how to set it up with SMF from here, please? :)
Yoshi:
Sure.
First, you will need to grab hosting at some company. Do not get 000webhost as it will cause issues with SMF and the database (and it doesn't support custom domains)
Then, await your confirmation mail. It contains details like your username, password, URL and so forth. It also contains the DNS or name server addresses. You will need these.
In co.cc, select option 1: "Name Server (DNS)".
There, enter the addresses you found earlier. Put the first nameserver in the first box, second in the second box, and if you need more follow that.
Co.cc will now submit the changes as soon as you hit "Save". It may take a while but it hardly ever takes more then 5 minutes to process, from my experience.
Now you have setup your domain. You only need to install SMF, now.
Using your hosts control panel (usually cPanel), access the File Manager.
From there, upload the SMF installation archive to the directory you want to install SMF in (usually "www" or "public_html" if you want it in the root of your website).
In the File Manager again, select the archive, and click "Extract".
Assuming you installed SMF in the root, go to http://yoursite.com/install.php to install the SMF installer.
