Ok I'm trying to install XMB forums on my site but I get this error of:
Database connection
XMB could not locate the /db/DB_TYPE.php file, you have configured xmb to use this database-type. For it to work you will need to upload the file, or change the config.php file to reflect a different choice.

This file has NEVER FREAKING EXISTED!! So how do I change it so it works, I don't think I know enough php to go re config some config file so can some please help me... again

All I can recomend is deleting the MySQL database and users that you used for the forum, deleting the files, re uploading and try installing again. I know it's a pain to upload like.. 3MB of 23464567 files, but maybe it'll work before your next reply :)

its a good idea and all but with my blue screen of death it would take me another 3 hours to upload all the files again

Oh yeah, damn I totally forgot that you still had that, sorry.

In that case, you may have to have someone else reupload it, or wait for someone like bryon :/
