I have followed the following instructions:

"Copy/upload all contents of the directory upload/ into the directory where you want to run your forums. Run install.php from the forum root directory through your browser"

The problem is that when i run the install.php file from the root directory, it opens up in dream weaver and all i see is the code.This isn't what's supposed to happen is it?

Could someone please explain to me in the most simple of terms how, once i've downloaded PunBB, i go about starting my bulletin board. When i say simple, i mean homer simpson simple. I've downloaded PunBB and i'm trying to start my forum. I've downloaded Mysql and PHP like it asked. Now it says to "Run install.php from the forum root directory through your browser".

I was of the understanding that PunBB would help me create a forum. I don't understand how i'm supposed to have a forum root directory when i haven't started it yet.
Please help. I don't mind how much you laugh at the simplicity of this mickey mouse question, but i could really do with some help. cheers.
