Create a folder called forums, or whatever you want it to be, on your server.

Take all the contents in the folder you just downloaded and upload it all to the folder you created on the server.

Dont upload the folder>contents, just the contents in the folder.

After that run install.php (ex. http://www.yoursite.com/forum/install.php)

Then follow the instuction of the install page.

So I upload everything that was in the folder (phpBB)? But what about the folders within that folder. Do I make a new folder in the FTP to put those in? :confused:
