Wondering...i paid $44.98 for a domain name + ipb board when i go to the site how come it takes me to this kind of page? Im fairly new to this kind of stuff.




Eh someone help me? I have no idea how to do this stuff :P so if their is a tutorial someone can show me then thanks

Yours truly,
Tyler

That screen takes you to the root of your new hosting account, which so far is empty.
Not sure how long ago it was since you purchased this, but if it was recently just sit back and wait for them to install the forum and if not..open up a ticket and poke them a bit about it :)

IPB is not uploaded to the server- you get this page because there's no index.php

Ok ya it just got done going though :) So ill sit back and wait if i have any more questions ill post

Tyler

Have fun with your new board and best of luck with everything :)

Install it yourself its easy

hehe it's easy if you've done it before or installed another board - not easy for a beginner

how do u install it when i never had to download it

Tyler

edit:

still not working :'(

You'll receive an email from the IPS folks once your board is installed. As it's the weekend and support is limited, I suspect it will be installed within the next 12-18 hours or so.

I See I See thanks

Tyler

They seted it up thanks

Question:
When i go to the link it has forums and other stuff but i wanna make it so the fourm link goes to the forums not the root of the account someone help me? :P

Tyler

You need something like this as your index.php file in the root folder.

<?
/**
* IPB 2.3.0 Portal Redirect file
*
* Simply forwards to the forum's portal
* RENAME THIS FILE TO "index.php" BEFORE
* USE
*/

/**
* EDIT THE CONSTANT BELOW TO SHOW THE URL to forum.
*
* Very simply the full URL to your forum.
* Do not add "index.php" on the end!
*/

# -----------------------------VVV Edit that bit there
define( 'IPB_URL', 'http://www.rune-random.org/forums/' );

?>

It looks like that there are no files in that folder (e.g. index.php).
Edit: Sorry I only read the first post. ;)
