Free Hosting General Support

Im new to hosting a forum myself and I wanted to know if how.

Easy anough, first since you are on free hosting you have to decide if you want a flatfile forum or Database forum.

Database would probaly be easier for you if your new to installing a forum.

So lets start off with database phpBB forum:

1. First go to www.hotsql.com and open a MySQL account there, then save the email you get from them that has all the information on it.
2. Go to www.phpbb.com and download the phpBB.zip file. After you do that extract all the files to a blank folder on your comp.
3. Now go into your FTP Account and upload the first few files. After you upload the first few files from the folder you can begin to create the directorys and upload the files that belong in each directory to them.

If you need anymore help pm me. 

And for flatfile I highly suggest Navboard:

http://navarone.f2o.org/forum/

Instructions on setup comes included in the download. ^_^

Im using the Flatfile...as it seems easier...but I have a quiestion. I uploaded the zip folder and then chmoded it to 777...but what would I do after that?

Once unzipped and you've uploaded all of the files just follow the directions in the install.txt file that was included in the zip and you'll have it installed. I'm not sure but it may come with an install script as well.

Ok...i installed my forums,,,but i keep getting that error

DId you upload the 'forums/themes/navboard/' folder contents? My guess is that stuff is missing for some reason.
I keep a copy of navboard in my folder and from looking at it there should be
-config.php
-functions.php
-style.css
inside the directory i said before

Ok...i reuploaded everything and Chmoded it to 777...but im still getting errors:

http://rctfanatic.t35.com/Forums/

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getdata() in /home/freehost/t35.com/r/c/rctfanatic/Forums/global.php on line 5
