Topic: Can't find config.php file

New user here trying to install PunBB. Having trouble finding the config.php file to paste the code into. Do I need to make this file first? If so, how? I can't seem to find it anywhere on my FTP site.   (yes... very green here)

Thanks!

Re: Can't find config.php file

You create the file on your own computer then upload it. Open notepad, paste the code then save it as config.php.

Ok. I created a file, pasted the code into it, uploaded it to the root folder  "/forum" tried to "go to forum index" but now it says, "cofig.php is missing or corrupt." Hmm.. any ideas?

Thanks!!

Re: Can't find config.php file

config.php is all lower case (the filename), readable by the webserver, and sitting in the forum root? All of it? Including the line that defines PUN?

Yes. Lower case, in the forum root which is /forum. Also includes the line that defines PUN.
