Preparation
- Uploading Files
- CHMOD Files
In the folder where you extracted the MyBB package, there will be two folders: Documentation and Upload. Navigate into the Upload folder and upload all files and folders within it to your web server (the Documentation folder contains a few interesting documents you may wish to read, but it is not necessary to upload this folder). Usually the files are uploaded into a subdirectory called 'forums', 'forum', 'community' or 'mybb'. However, it is up to you where you want to upload it; just remember where you have uploaded the files.
Things to keep in mind:
- Make sure that the directory structure is kept. (ie. the files in the 'admin' directory should be uploaded to a directory called 'admin', the files in the 'archive' directory should be uploaded to a directory called 'archive', etc)
- Make sure that you upload the .php, .html, .css and any other text file in ASCII mode, and that you upload the .gif, .jpg, .png, and any other binary file in Binary mode (see your FTP software documentation)
