What version are you trying to install? Did you ask your host about this?

What exactly you don't know? Did you contacted your host?

What version of PHP is your host running?  You might want to contact your host and copy the error you are getting so they can possibly fix it.  Also consider downloading another copy of SMF in case you have some corrupted files.

Then you will need to wait.

Kirjoitti: highernight - maaliskuu 18, 2011, 06:37:54 AP
do you have any free web-hosting that you know SMF will work without any errors?

You will need to ask them.

The best course is to read through the topics on the board that Masterd linked to taking note of any reviews posted by folks that are using the free service.

fu** its all forum hosting... i need a real free hosting service where SMF works
Otsikko: Re: can't install SMF please help ASAP
Kirjoitti: Illori - maaliskuu 18, 2011, 08:12:58 AP
most hosting services that have threads in the hosting board are able to successfully have smf running on their server, it is up to you which you choose to use.

but all hosting services in the hosting board is for forum.. i need a web hosting not forum hosting.. there is 2 web hosting in the board but its not working

Kirjoitti: Illori - maaliskuu 18, 2011, 08:22:40 AP
most free hosts will be just the forum preinstalled, if you want a real host you will need to pay for a host and manage your forum yourself.

i have a free web hosting but when i install smf it has errors as shown above
Otsikko: Re: can't install SMF please help ASAP
Kirjoitti: Illori - maaliskuu 18, 2011, 08:35:12 AP
i would blame an improperly configured host for that error, given you have not edited any of the files yourself.

Please answer the questions we ask, otherwise it will be difficult if not impossible to help you.  If you are using a free host, are you trying to install using modified files or did you download the package from SM.org?  The error you are getting usually indicates that a comment block is not closed.  If the file has been edited by your free host to limit capabilities, that could be your issue.
