please help me install this forum

Hi my host is http://www.xo.com/ I have 4 folders I can upload to they are as follows:
cgi
files
log
web

I have my web site in the web folder:
http://groundzero-tek.com

I want to install vBulletin or phpbb2 I have been truing to install vBulletin for 3 weeks now I called my host and they will not help he said it should work and he could not support it. I installed it in the web folder at:
http://groundzero-tek.com/forums

I uploaded in ascii the folder and upload and extras folder with all contents. I then uploaded the images folder in binary to the upload folder. I then tried to connect to:
http://groundzero-tek.com/fourms

And as you see all I get is a view of the files and folders. So I did the same as above for the cgi folder andthis is what I get there.
http://groundzero-tek.com/cgi/admin/install.php
and
http://groundzero-tek.com/cgi/admin/forums
and
http://groundzero-tek.com/cgi/admin/...in/install.php

I just dont understand. I havealso tried to configure the config.php.

<?php
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Please note that if you get any errors when connecting, //
// that you will need to email your host as we cannot tell //
// you what your specific values are supposed to be //
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// type of database running
// (only mysql is supported at the moment)
$dbservertype="mysql";

// hostname or ip of server
$servername="groundzero-tek.com";

// username and password to log onto db server
$dbusername="test";
$dbpassword="test";

// name of database
$dbname="";

// technical email address - any error messages will be emailed here
$technicalemail = "loco@groundzero-tek.com";

// use persistant connections to the database
// 0 = don't use
// 1 = use
$usepconnect = 0;

// which users are allowed to view the admin log
// separate each userid with a comma
$canviewadminlog = "1";

// which users are allowed to prune the admin log
// separate each userid with a comma
$canpruneadminlog = "";

Ok.. I could be wrong here, as I dont know what this program you are trying to set up is, but it appears maybe you are trying to setup something which needs a mysql db on a unix box.... just a wild guess.?!?
