    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

    // 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.?!?
