I uploaded it to a directory named 'forum'?? Does that need to be in the html directory? Also, I uploaded all the files as they appeared ie: with subdirectories. Is that correct?

Hi Thanks
I have uploaded the files to the server. PHP and Mysql are both enabled. However, I've just tried to Run install.php at the URL www.fatjackspokershack.com/forum/install.php and I'm getting the following message:
The requested URL /forum/install.php was not found on this server.
Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.fatjackspokershack.com Port 80
What has happened & what do I need to do to correct. . . ??
Thanks

:-) Thanks so much for that - I understand now! It was the word directory that got me stumped - but no more ;-) I will try those steps and get back to you (no doubt . . . .when it all goes wrong ;-)) lol Thanks again!

Hi :-)
O.k. I've visited the PunBB site on many occassions - all on the recommendation of others - and its a fantastic product! Thing is, I'm a total newbie to all this and not even sure how to get started. I've just started using Php . . .now I want to run a forum on my site. Can anyone give me an idiot proof guide to getting started. I've read through the initial instructions, and am even stuck on those:
1. Copy/upload all contents of the directory upload/ into the directory where you want to run your forums.
. . . Which directory . . .do I make a new one? Sorry this sounds like a ridiculous question - but I get confused with the whole directory thing being self-taught!
2. Run install.php from the forum root directory (e.g. open http://mydomain/myforums/install.php in your browser). Follow the instructions.
. . . I'm afraid this means absolute gobbeldy-gook to me . . .
Would appreciate some help from someone who knows!! (I'm a quick learner! ;-)) . . . .
Thanks in advance :-)
