problems with phpbb

[allsock]

I would appreciate any help with this problem I have been pulling my hair out for hours reading forums and installation files but I can not find a solution. I am trying to install phpbb, but I keep getting a 404 error. I have triple checked the addres and directory but I can find no problems.

What I have done so far
1. uploaded php into a folder titled phpfolder using smart ftp
2. Set chmod permissions to 755 for the entire folder
3. Entered the addres phpfolder/install/install.php
I have purchased the mysql package.

Please help.

Be sure to add a user and password to your MySQL database as well if you have not.

Also need to enter this info when installed; it goes into the config.php file...

Check your database access with something like MySQL-Front or phpMyAdmin to ensure that it is configured and accessible.

Be sure to remove install.php later on and would not post a link to it for security reasons :(

Since I have no idea how to do that I am pretty sure I didnt :)
Thank you for the help, I will search the forum and try to figure out how to do it

Login to your Powweb OPS site:

ops.powweb.com (http://ops.powweb.com)

Go to your package

Go to the MySQL page

Then enter a username and password and confirm it.

phpBB will use the server/host name, database name, database username, and user password to access the database tables it creates and uses...

Your site seems to be new (UC page still showing) and you may need to access it via your temporary URL as well...

Good Luck!
