Ok thanks Paul, that works now too and everything is up and running. One more question: if I customize this test forum that is run off of localhost, can I transfer it to the server later so that everything is set up properly already ? Or will I have to set up everything again on that server once we purchase it and find a host and everything else needed to get this up and running? (sorry if this post should be a topic in another forum, I didn't think it was important enough to make another topic)

#1: you need to CREATE a NEW file called config.php with the text it shows in the box there and upload/save it in your forums root directory.
Got it, thanks. Of course that won't do me any good until the cache is created from what I understand...

Topic: Installing Help (5 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
Hi all, I am new to PunBB//PHP/MySQL/Apache, but I am trying to design a forum for my new church's youth group. I chose PunBB because I shopped around and found this one to be one of the more clean, faster options that would suit my situation well. Here is where I am, and since I don't know much about programming or MySQL well, I would like some advice on what to do when I get here:
Do I create a new php file called config or do I simply edit a different one that I have come across during installation of PHP/PhpMyAdmin?
How would I go about creating the cache and the avatar location through PhpMyAdmin or the Terminal (or where do I need to handle those problems)?
Thanks everyone in advance for your help and thank you PunBB developers for creating such a versatile system for everyone ++
