Re: New Install

You can't run the install from the command line.

Fire up a browser and run it from there.

Re: New Install

First off, is apache running?

If it is, copy the contents of upload to a folder off your http server's doc root. Let's call it /forum/

Also you need Mysql to be running.

Then you just run http://localhost/forum/install.php

Take a look at the install.html file in the zip.

Yes, when you do a http://localhost - what page comes up?

Then look for that folder where that page is stored, that's your document root.

Sorry, I don't do IM.
