Open up your web browser and browse to http://www.yourdomain.tld/smf/install.php (where smf is the directory name you chose earlier). Provided you set the permissions correctly on Settings.php and Setting_bak.php, you should see a form asking for

Per say, your domain is something like abc.def.com; you'll need to open install.php in your browser in where the forum is located

The proper directory, not public_ftp

[jacortina]

scorpiox63, your files should not be under your public_ftp directory.

You need to upload them under the public_html folder. That is your forum root directory and is where a browser will 'look' when http://poemshare.web1000.com is entered. Browsers can't 'see' the public_ftp directory in most setups.

You can upload the SMF files and subdirectories directly into the public_html directory, or you can make a subdirectory named something like 'smf' or 'forum' under public_html and load everything there.

After everything is loaded (and the files/directories have the right permissions), open your browser and enter the URL http://poemshare.web1000.com/install.php (or http://poemshare.web1000.com/smf/install.php or http://poemshare.web1000.com/forum/install.php, if you decided to put the forum in a subdirectory) and follow the instructions/supply the information.
