Topic: Idiots guide required

I am a newbie to this and wish to install a forum on my web domain. I have uploaded all the files into a folder at the server and must be doing something stupid. the site details are www.cremolafoam.co.uk and the folder I have uploaded to is called 'forum' should I move them into the root directory and try the 'install.php' from there? Any other advice will be most welcome

Well, if your webpage is www.cremolafoam.co.uk and you placed the forum in a directory called forum in the root, you should run URL_TO_YOUR_WEBPAGE/forum/install.php

Re: Idiots guide required

Kendo, you have the same set up I have which is "www.something.co.uk/forum". Just run the install as "www.something.co.uk/forum/install.php". If you have already tried this, at what stage do you run into problems with the install.

[EDIT]

I noticed that your site is showing Forbidden 403. You won't be able to run install.php if access to the site is forbidden. I also noticed that you domain is showing as "registration being processed". Is everything actually set up.
