1 quick question!

[Legostylist]

I have just sign up for a Corporate website, with x10hosting. I have made my first MySQL in this account. I also have made a FTP account.

I downloaded the files i needed to make my own phpBB 2 Forums. I have all the files, on my computer. I was wondering how do I put them onto my website, and how do I make a page for the forums?

I would love to find out ASAP

*mysql*
1.make sure you have added mysql.x10hosting.com into the remote mysql thing in cpanel
2. make sure you give your mysql username permsion for the database
*installation*
1.k you got to download a ftp client i recommend smartftp since even after the trial has expired you still can use it.
2. create a directory (or if that will be your main site skip to #3)
3. upload the files into public_html/*
4(a). after upload is finished set file permissions to 777 ( i don't know which files you have to give the 777 permission for but i would do all just incase.)
4(b).go to your domain and you should be redirected to the phpbb2 installer
5. fill in all the correct info with the mysql host being mysql.x10hosting.com
6. after installtion is succesfull delete the install folder by using the ftp client
7. then go to your forum and then have fun building your forum

on step 3 the * is for if you have decided to put the files into a different directory

it didn't work, I set every single thing that I uploaded to 777 permissions, and it just said:

Welcome to your new x10Hosting.com hosting account. You may replace this index.html with your new website. Please remember the best way to receieve support is through the x10Hosting Forums.

Delete the index.html file in your public_html folder, since it's still there and is taking precedence over index.php.

I have got up to the install page....

I followed the tut on phpbb.com

But im getting this message after i have fillled out the page.

What can i do to fix it?

Files can't be set to 777. Please reset the permissions to 755 or less.

Why not use Fantatisco in the CPanel options to install it.

Go to your control panel, choose Fantastico, its a blue smiley face and then choose PHPBB2, it does all of the hard work for you.
