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
