Huckleberry Pie Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 What's up you guys, I'm trying to install my Simple Machine Forums, I have a SmartFTP Client, I also got an IIS6 Manager (Internet Information Services), and I'm trying to install the MySQL Server 4.1. The problem is I don't know what these things are for, also I don't know what they do, nor do I know how to install these things. I really need you guys help. You mean you have your own server? The IIS functions as your server software, and the MySQL stuff functions as your database for all forum posts, user profiles and settings. I wouldn't let you dive right into that project, if you don't have a deep understanding of what's going on; besides, if you plan to run a server at your 'hood, you have to have some patience and the bills for electricity and maintenance, since you have to run the computer all day long. I don't intend to spam, but I suggest that you try 110MB.com, you can build a forum there for free, although you have to pay extra for an SQL server - there are external SQL servers that you may try for free, such as FreeMySQL...

Spaz The Great Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 If you don't know what these are, what they do, and how to install them, you probably shouldn't be attempting to use them at all. Just y'know, some words of advice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
