I would uninstall the forums and reconfigure them.

[Stroke.nz]

yes uninstall and try again. looks like you have changed the board settings, which can lock you out.......dont worry I did the sane thing lol

[Maddog]

This is a prestalled program?

Think its gone south, I agree with Steve uninstall and reinstall

[farmboyzim]

Me again! Tried uninstalling and reinstalling smf 1.05, transferred the files over to my ftp in a sub folder called forums, cheched to make sure everything was transferred, which it was not. The language files didn't make it under the Themes folder, so I put them in. Everything else transferred well. Tried to access this time at URL that is instructed (......forums/install.php), and now receive the msg Error 404. My question is, ???????????
I want to thank all of you that have answered in the past very much, and with your help, I'm sure I can get this thing up and running! Thanks again.
Sincerely, Farmboyzim

Are you sure the forums folder is in your public_html folder? If it's not, that is likely your problem.

[Stroke.nz]

Yes that is the problem, run it from your main, not in ftp.

[farmboyzim]

I'll give it a go! Thanks much!!!

Well, I tried loading into the public html folder also, got as far as the initial set up page on connecting, but now it won't take my password. I'm asuming this is my blue voda ftp password? Anybody? Please??? Help!!!

Just a silly question are you loading the program from cp? if so it'll load into your main.

When you have installed it in cp, it will give you would of been given the chioce of username/pword.

The other option is get someone to set it up for you, that you can trust

[farmboyzim]

Silly Question #2, whats a CP? Command Prompt?
Thanks!

Sorry for the abbreviations CP= Control Panel

[farmboyzim]

Thanks Dave. I ended up using the phpBB! Just could not get that SML to work properly. Operator headspace I suppose! Take care and thanks for the help!
