  • Depending on your server configuration the write permissions of the subdirectory templates_c (CHMOD 770) and the file config/db_settings.php (CHMOD 666) might need to be changed in order that they are writable by the script.
  • Run the installation script by accessing yourdomain.tld/forum/install/ in your web browser and follow the instructions (yourdomain.tld/forum/install.php).
