I dont want just a template, I want an actual website. Please help me if you know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 The IPB Package should have a install.php file inside it, Navigate to that like www.yoursite.com/forum/ and it should direct you to the installer, if you are new to the website stuff and you havent got a domain, your hosting service should of provided a temp url you could use, again do the same thing http://82.34.56.98.yoursite.com/forum. If not then please send screenshots of exactly what u have uploaded and information on what ftp uploader you have used... Hope this helps Ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew91 Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 I got my forum uploaded and setup and everything, if thats what youre talking about with the install.php, I did that already. I just want to set up a website with it. I thought thats what MySql and PHP was for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Well websites don't just make themselves get learning PHP or HTML and code a site...thats why you Have PHP installed on your server, MYSQL is a databasing language used for alsorts of Functions from different languages mainly to do with php. Want my advice? www.good-tutorials.com Learn a coding language and set yourself up that way, if not try setting yourself up with Macromedia Dreamweaver, Adobe GoLive or (sigh) MS Frontpage....
