When ever I try to install Vbulltein (any version) I go to the end up at the page where I am supposed to enter the basic details I.e the url, name etc. After I do this the next page comes up with an error saying:

=================================================

You can click Search to look for information on the Internet.

HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden

==================================================


This always comes up. Why can't I finish the installation successfully. I follow all of the instructions carefully.

Please help.

Maybe you didn't CHMODed the file?

[Anayet]

Which of the files do I have to chmod???

Thanks

none of them... looks like your server doesn't support php, so it's not reading index.php as a valid index file.. thus it's thinking it's an open directory and it doesn't show the contents of open directories. just a thought.

in your forums directory, put a file named .htacces that reads like this:



DirectoryIndex index.php


if that doesn't help, you most likely don't have php enabled.

does it requires mysql ?

oh yeah, that too.. but that's not the problem judging by the error he's getting
