I'm not very good with MyBB. I am still to make a forum with MyBB and have everything set up but it's differcult... What are some of the ones you aren't good at?

While I love PHPBB to death, I'm not very good at that software. Which is why I'm on a free host. I am no hand at installing mods, my coding ability is complete crap, and graphics *blows raspberry* forget it! This is exactly why I'm on a free host, because I can't do half the technical stuff you have to know how to do. I'm lucky I can work my way around the ACP with permissions and stuff like that.

As a phpbb2 user, when phpbb3 1st came out I didnt know how to do anything and it was all very confusing.. As with anything, over time, you will become familiar with how things work and adjust accordingly.

I still need to learn the ropes with the 'self hosted' softwares. :/

That was very hard for me.. FTP programs and all that were like a foreign language to me at one point. 😛

Which is the easiest to pick up for a beginner?

 

[Nebulous]

Uh... Probably smf.

SMF easy, you dont even need FTP access for MOD's, they just download and install themselves right from the server

What? MyBB is eazy peezy 😛

Download it, upload the ''Upload'' folder to wherever on your server you want it with an FTP client (I recommend FileZilla). Then just chmod these files to 666 (The Number of the Beast - I know :lol🙂:

/inc/settings.php
./inc/config.php (you must rename config.default.php to config.php first)
./inc/languages/*your_language*/*all files* (optional)
./inc/languages/*your_language*/admin/*all files* (optional)

chmod these ones to 777

./cache/
./cache/themes/
./uploads/
./uploads/avatars/
./admin/backups/ (optional)

Then just go to to the url of where your forum is installed and add /install to the end (for example: yourforumurl.com/install or yoursite.com/forum/install ((depending upon where it is located)) ).

Install the forums. You'll have to set up a MySQL database first and input the info there as well as your preferred username, password and e-mail. Then forum ready 🙂

My record is 5 minutes 😛

I'm not good with phpBB. The permissions system and the MODs... Both drive me up the wall.
