Getting started

[XEVEN]

 I wanted to download start my own form/page. I downloaded the zip file but it just gives this folder full of seemingly meaningless tabs. I do not know how to complete the install, the instructions were not helpful.

The 2.0.14 install package contains all of the forum files and install scripts.  Unzip it, upload everything to your forum root directory (i.e., yourdomain.com/forum/).  You must create a new database in your host control panel before you begin.  Link directly to yourdomain.com/forum/install.php to run the install script.  It will ask you for database name/user/password, then proceed with installation.

Could you login here and walk me through it/? Sorry I am a weld inspector not a programmer yet

Can you pm ftp access (server/username/password)?

Also need database info.  If you haven't gotten that far, I would need access to your host account (url/user/pw).
