really? you had trouble with phpbb? i thought it was really easy. Just uplaod the files and input your information…
well i mean, there was a part that told me to make a certain file “writable” but they didnt specify how, so i got stuk, i always get stuk but thats my story. i mean, if you kno what this means then id try it again
yeah, there is a file that isn’t writeable, but you can just download a file from them and upload it to the server… can’t remember which file it is tho…
i get stuck a lot too… unfortunately thats part of the learning process…
well i went with invision right and i ran into a prob. what does chmod means and how do i change it. every time i look aound their site, they offer to help me by offering me a small fee to install it for me lol
If you don’t know what chmod means, then that seems to be what your problem with phpBB was.
chmod is setting the permission of your files. It depends on your server, but usually you can chmod your files via your ftp program. After you upload your files to your server you need to use your ftp program to chmod the files to be what the instructions of the forum installation tells you they should be. Depending on your server and your ftp program it could be different on how you do that.
check with your server. Usually you would use an FTP program to CHMOD your files. CHMOD-ing changes the properites of a file, ie who can view it, read it, execute it, write to it…
or listen to lost… lol 
You explained more on what chmod was Jubba. You stated that it allows you to edit whether your file is readable, writable, or executable. I just stated it sets the permissions.
well whatever this “chmod-ing” is can it be done with dreamweaver???
and thanks for all help

I don’t know exactly if Dreamweaver can do it, I don’t think it can though.
if i try to dl a prog like ws_ftp, you think that one has this chmod opt.???
I believe most ftp programs do. I use WS_FTP and it does.
aight lost thanks man, i been on this for days now, since phpbb, so ill try this one now,
