Thanks again for your reply. I am still getting this message though, when I submit the install form...

An error occured on line 55 in file /home/www/myname/necro/forum/include/dblayer/mysql.php.

PunBB reported: Unable to select database. MySQL reported: Access denied for user 'myname'@'localhost' to database 'forum'



I was not sure what to put for Database server hostname, so left it at "localhost" and got the message above. I then changed it to "www.mysite.com" and was given this message -

An error occured on line 58 in file /home/www/myname/necro/forum/include/dblayer/mysql.php.

PunBB reported: Unable to connect to MySQL server. MySQL reported: Host 'server18.web-mania.com' is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server


"myname" is of course my user name, and "necro" is part of the domain name on which I am trying to create the forum.

I want to make a message board at www.mysite.com/forum/ and have a few questions about setting it up.

When uploading the "upload" folder to my webspace, where exactly does it go? Will I have to name it "foum" as this is where I want the board to be, or does it actually go in a "forum" folder I create?

Also when I get to the install page I dont know wether I am being asked for mysql or FTP details, or indeed what any of the info means apart from Admin username and password.

Is there a detailed walkthrough for beginners anywhere showing exactly what I need to do and where things need to go?

Thanks in advance.
