Ok I got it working. I don't know if you guys forgot to write this into the instructions or you just assume everyone is a website designer with 120 credit hours of school and 3 years experience. You have to load the config.php into "upload" section.

All I know is that I use the files you gave me in the download, renamed (example_config) and pasted the code using Note Pad (like you do .cfg file for video games) into the new renamed file called "config" that is found in extras folder. Then I uploaded the files to my server via Frontpage 2003. Then I click the button titled "go to forum index" just to get the erro message of "The file 'config.php' doesn't exist or is corrupt. Please run install.php to install PunBB first."

I just open up the example_config.php and cut and paste the new info and rename.

Oh that's why. lol
Ok, here is a noob question, where is the config at? I can't seem to locate it in the files I downloaded from you guys.
