With UBB the destructions told me step by step how to upload and what directory to make etc...tho I never got it working..got stuck at some point and left it...anywho
I have vbulletin lite downloaded to my computer and put it in it's own folder. I have WS_FTP and know how to transfer files
Where do I start...upload what?
Do I make a special folder or directory on my server first?
Not entirely sure they support mysql and psp..how do I find out for sure short of calling?
when you unzip the file you should see an "upload" folder
everything in that folder gets uploaded to wherever you want it on your site.
you can upload it to a /forums folder on your site so the url would be http://www.yoursite.com/forums or to the root if all your site is is the forum, the url being http://www.yoursite.com
you need to contact your hosting service anyway. you need them to set up the mySQL database for you and make sure you have alter permissions for it. you also need to find out which version of php they run so you can d/l the right version of vB.
where to start?::

Also, some hosts have funny requirements about where you put PHP files, depending on whether they run PHP as a module or as CGI. Check with them to see if there are any requiements as to where you place the files.
If they are running as CGI you might have to change file permissions on the PHP files to 755. You can do that thru WS FTP:)
Once you have all that taken care of, all you have to do is run the install.php file from you browser and follow the step-by-step instructions :)
It's not nearly as complicated as it sounds.
Martin thanks for the information i'll give them a call today and see what I can get done. I did some uploading this am but didn't make a folder..think i'll do that seems easier having it all in one folder.
