Oh... obviously I'm totally lost when it comes to chmod... and shell commands too for that matter. So it might work if I were to remove the chmod command? I'll test it when I get home.
If not, does anyone else know where to put it?

But without the chmod commands, when you try to access the forums, it says that the cache directory isn't writable... which I also wrote in the first post 
So there has to be a chmod command, but if not in the config file, where? ^^

Is that so? I figured I had misplaced it, but since it got rid of the cache directory problem I thought it was ok... I'd never really heard of chmod before, so I just googled it, got a few examples of how it worked and couldn't think of any other place to put it.
So where should I place it then?
EDIT: I did write in my first post that I used the chmod command in the config file...

Hmm... well, I copied the text into the config.php like I was supposed to, no spaces or linebreaks whatsoever... and then I needed to use chmod to make the cache directory writable. Could the problem lie there? Is there a specific place in the config.php file in which the chmod command should be? Right now, I think I've put it after the other text that I copied in from the installation message...

#5: No, it's not just the index file. It's been the same with all the files I've tested. However, with my own custom made file, as I mentioned in the first post, it did work properly and its contents were displayed.
#6: Sure, I'll post it as soon as I get home from work. All I can tell you right now is that it did contain alot of code.

I thought it might be a common newbie mistake that many have encountered, but maybe it's not... I mean, it's like it doesn't even load the index file or something. Really weird.
And in case you're wondering; yes, the index.php file is located within the forum's "root folder" and thus it should load automatically when entering the /forum section. Anyway, I still get the same thing when being precise (.../forum/index.php), so that's not the problem.

The error log displays no errors connected to the forum whatsoever... just old errors from before I even attempted to establish the forums.

So... I've completed the installation. After doing so, I got a message telling me to use chmod to make the cache directory php-writable. When I tried to access the forums via my website, it just said that cache wasn't writable... so I fixed this by using the appropriate chmod-command in the config.php-file (I also used the chmod command to enable avatars at the same time) However, now, when I attempt to access the forums via the website (i.e. http://www.mysite.com/forum), it just loads a completely blank page. I checked in the source code, but it was COMPLETELY empty. No html tags or anything whatsoever. When I view the index.php-file on my computer it's full of code, however.
I'm guessing I'm just making some newbie mistake, and I hope you can help me out!
Thanks!
EDIT: Also, to check if anything worked at all, I made a new php-file (lol.php), typed "<?php echo "lol"; ?>" and uploaded it. When accessing it through mysite/forum/lol.php, it did say lol on the page loaded.
