Ok so i am following a guide on how to add mybb to my free forum.

See here - http://myblog4u-nick.blogspot.com/2009/01/create-free-forum-using-mybb-with-free.html

I am now up to this part:

Step-by-Step Procedure to install myBB in your server:

1. In your browser, visit the URL where you installed your forums, appending /install/ on to the end of it.

For example: yourname.x10hosting.com/forum/install/

When i type in my URL i get this error

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /Forum/Upload/install/upgrade.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Any ideas why i can't install it? =|

You don't have permission to access /Forum/Upload/install/upgrade.php on this server.

Use FTP or cPanel-->FileManager to check the permissions of :
public_html/Forum/Upload/install/upgrade.php

Should be something like 644.

It was 600, I changed to 644 and its still the same.
Edit:
I actually can't progress any further until this is sorted out so i would be grateful if someone could help :sad:

Post or PM me the link where you get the error. I can't do anything with out seeing the problem.

It seems that you could have a permision issue. put the permission to 644 for every php file in the forum.

Ok first off then i think i need to know exactly where to upload my folder named "Upload". Is it

Files - File manager -Web root - public_html ?

Then make a new folder named "Forums" then extract the files here and i have to CHMOD all php files to 644? Is that right?

The best place to find instructions to install software is from the creators of the software.

Another alternative is to use Softaculous. Go to cPanel, Software/Services near the bottom of the page, Softaculous. Click on it. List of scripts on the left. mybb is about a third of the way down.
