SMF Version: SMF 1.1 RC1
Apparently, I'm missing something.
I uploaded all the files to my server. When I try to access the installer interface through my server, I get a open/save file box. Isn't there supposed to be an online interface? Or am I missing something?
Make sur ethat your host supports PHP.
that's what was wrong. stupid host doesn't support php.
Time for a new host. Take a look at the Hosts and Hosting (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?board=4.0) board. I would recommend MontecaloHosting.com and Charlottezweb.com.
