Can anyone help me or give me a link to a guide for installing smf? as i really need to install it and i don't know how thanks.
There is an installation file that is included within the package, simple open that up in your browser and it will guide you through the rest. If it will make it easier then just send me the link to where you have uploaded all of the files and I can run the install for you.
Yes just load the location in your browser where you uploaded it for example http://myforum.com and add /install.php on the end and the installation screen will pop up
lol, i'm having problems uploading it onto cpanel now... when you press open on the folder it just opens, not uploads the folder.
I'd suggest you to read the readme file that's included with the package. It explains the whole uploading and installation process and it guides you through the whole process. And if that doesn't help, then you have the manual on the smf website.
