Hey, I have for the most part completed my poker website but am having trouble installing a phpBB forum onto the site. Now i’ve downloaded the software..and SmartFTP, and followed the tutorial on the phpbb site but it just wont work for me.
Can anyone provide some help here, I’m very much a newbie when it comes to all this ftp business. Thanks
Or if anyone has a suggestion for a better/easier forum to run and install that would be great too.
well what trouble are you having? where are you getting stuck?….also if your hosting company uses cpanel….which they should…theres a tool called “fantastico” in there….that installs it for you…..so im sure we’d need a bit more info to help you out

to start I am hosting through yahoo. I think the main problem is when I’m trying to upload the necessary files through my ftp program. I know on the phpbb tutorial, they are using CuteFTP while I am using SmartFTP. Its the same but certain files arent being uploaded the same as how it shows on the site on cuteftp.
It seems like I am doing it all correctly, but when its supposed to be done and uploaded onto my site, I have nothing.
Set transfer type as automatic or ascii instead of binary.
Daniel5r,
I am building my promotion site too, 65.25% is done, you are a little bit ahead of me…:rollover:
I tried the phpBB forum too, but it is too complicated for me. I tried different software, I picked a easy one for a dummy user like me, tried it free for 7 days.
Also they offer AFFILIATE program too, please let me make some money, click the bottom page ICON from my forum page.Have fun,
Komodo

Files have to be transferred in whatever type file they are binary or ascii. SmartFTP allows you to choose either ascii, binary or auto. Use the auto selection. It will determine how to transfer.
Hey guys, so here’s an update. I’ve figured out how to upload everything and I’m confident its been done correctly. Now the only issue, is pointing my browser to the install.php file. I’ve tried probably every path and I just get that the page cannot be found. I think this is a simple step but is preventing me from going further.
Thanks
It really depends upon where you uploaded the files to.. There is a lot of information missing which would probably help one of us to help you.
Please let us know the folder structure or something that gives us enough information to help you.

Hey, I’m moving along pretty good now. I’ve got it all installed and uploaded, except now I can’t access my administration panel. I am pointing it to the correct URL but it keeps taking me to my database control panel. So once again I am lost.
Wow, finally figured it all out. Just gotta do all the final details now. Thanks for everyone’s help. Couldn’t of done it without you guys.
Now that I’ve got phpBB installed and working properly on my site..can someone help me on how I can change the main logo and insert some of my own stuff into the forum?
Thanks
