Re: Need help to create a PunBB forum!

Omg! I'm really a n00b at this!
Increo have php, but I can't find that MySQL icon you're talking about on their site.
Maybe I should give up trying to create a forum. I'm just wasting your time and I'm not learning much myself.
And I should maybe continue to do my site better, rather then trying to do something I'm really struggling with.

(Sorry for posting to times in a row!)

Maybe you'd be better off with a free forum host like punbb-hosting? wink

Yeah, maybe...
But can I change the URL so that is www.cricket.no/forum ? smile
If yes, I will be quite happy! big_smile

No, that'd be impossible. You could make cricket.no/forum redirect there, though.

Re: Need help to create a PunBB forum!

Why don't you simply email Increo and tell them you want to install a forum which requires php and mysql and ask them if its possible. Maybe they don't even support mysql.

I think part of the problem is that Increo seem to be more of a design agency than a hosting company so you are not getting the control panel, instructions and other facilities you would normally get with a hosting company.  Thats making it difficult for you to learn and difficult for people to give you advice. Thats not to say they won't give you a good service, they maybe extremely good, its just that they are unusual.

There's a box on the main page. Click in it, type in the DB name, press enter.

I really didn't get this one.
Should I rename the forum/cache directory to 777? :S

Re: Need help to create a PunBB forum!

Nah... I'm working on an official forum. It has to be .no/forum, not any free MyPunBB forum...
