Make 100% free vbulletin forum

HERE I GO
Okay so we will need:

FileZilla

http://filezilla-project.org

Any Type of forum :
Okay so there are four types of forums (There are more but these are best)

PhpBB

http://www.phpbb.com
OR
http://www.mybboard.net

Okay.. So firstly you need a hosting , in this tut we are going to use

http://www.000webhost.com

which is a free hosting.[YOU CAN USE CELER-HOSTING ALSO)

Firstly create an account , and activate it using your email . After that Log In and click "Go to CPanel"

Okay , now start up FileZilla.
After you started filezilla go to your hosting and click View FTP Details

Now you will see stuff like this :
__________________________________________

FTP host name xxxxxx.hostoi.com |
FTP user name axxxxxxx |
FTP password *use your password* |
Folder to upload files public_html |
Forgot FTP password? Change account passwo |
Recommended FTP clients SmartFTP or FileZilla |

Now , on FileZilla on the first box type your FTP host name on User Name put your username and on password put your password and on port leave it blank.

Now click Quick Connect

here r some screenshots of FILEZILLA USING



Now double click the public_html folder and you will see a thing named "default.php"

DELETE IT OR EVERYTHING IN TUTORIAL WILL FAIL

Okay ... After you deleted it , extraxt the files you downloaded and take them with mouse and put them in 'public_html" folder in ur host.

It will take about 10 minutes until all the files upload...[When you get the pop up's saying that if you want to overwrite or stuff make it overwrite and click OK]



By the way its important that you look at the tabs at the bottom of filezilla , there are : "Queued Files , Failed transfers , Succesful transfers"

After the transfer is complete its important to check the FAILED transfers tab , if there is any file that failed to transfer you will have to transfer it again to the right directory [Only the file , not all the files]

Okayyyyy... now we are almost done [dont close FileZilla yet]

Now.. Before you close file zilla change the chmod to 777 on the following files:


Quote:

myBBfolder/upload/inc/config.default.php
inc/settings.php
cache/ (the folder)
uploads/ (the folder)
uploads/avatars/ (the folder)

NOTE: RENAME THE CONFIG.DEFAULT.PHP to CONFIG.PHP , AND CHANGE CHMOD TO 777

You can change the chmod by right clicking on the file and clicking File Premissions , on the box you will see three x'es like this xxx , change the xxx to 777 and it will work [NOTE THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT]

Okay now , for setting up your forum we need to go to

http://www.yoursite.domain.com/install/index.php



if not you have done something wrong and you have to do it all from the begining


Okay now do everything what it says [Just click next] , on the 3rd page it will show you which files are writeable and which not .. YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM ALL WRITEABLE

Okay when u made all of them writeable it should say that all are writeable with green letters [if you didnt make em writeable it will show an error telling which file you didnt make writeable]

Okay now click Next

Okay now we need to get back to 000webhost control panel . Now at the control panel scroll down and you will see a mySQL button , click on it



Now , you will be at mySQL page

Seeing something like this:

MySQL database name: a6266182_
MySQL user name: a6266182_
Password for MySQL user:
Enter password again:


Okay , make the Database name , username , password anything you want , btw dont close the page after you make em

Okay.. Now back at the myBB installation ,

At the first box where it says:
Database Server Hostname:
Put the name you made on the mySQL page..
mysql10.000webhost.com

At the username put "a6266182_YOURUSERNAME"

At the password put "The password you had*"

At the database name put "the name you did on mysql"

Okay.. now just click Next Next Next Next until you get the page named:

Board Configuration

Now here is everything OK except the 3rd box , on there you need to put

http://yoursite.domain.com

and click NEXT

Now you will be at the page named:

Create Administrator Account

Okay now set your username and password you want for your admin account [Example: Omni did his username Omniscient , and pass yeahjusttry , so do it as you want for yourself]

Now you will get the page:

Finish Setup

Now YOU ARE DONE!!!!!

Go to Yoursite.yourdomain.com and ... you got ready to see ur site eh ?

EPIC FAIL!

Go to FileZilla and delete the Install Folder and...
You should get something like this:
