right click an item in your FTP folder, and change permissions

right click it, try everything, till you find some thingy that sais permissions or chmod

something with selectionboxes, or an form...
then put it to 777

and if you pm me your details, i'll set it up for you.

yep what Fragalot said.

By default files on your server are 'read only'. CHMOD allows u to changes these permissions to write and execute.

oh, btw, the error inc()

fix that line to include('file');

Ok well, I CHmoded the stuff. Now I need an MySQL database.. I know that Zeeblo has Unlimeted ones in the account so... What do I download to get this Puppy going?

^lmfao.. I look like a noob, Which I am^

create a database via cpanel or email your host to create you one.

Once that is done i presume u edit the config.php file add the DB information

add me on msn we'll talk

"step by step forum installation tutorial would be nice, won't it?"

or just PM me your login details for your host & i'll set up your forum...
