Ok, I'm trying to set up my boards but when I go to the install page I get:

----------

my lang_admin is uploaded.

Bah! Nevermind...one of my folder names was wrong!

LOL Don't worry pleanty such happened to me when I was first setting up my board, but PHP sure tries hard to be user friendly. Even tech ignorant lil ole me got a pretty good board out of it.

Best of luck on the rest of it!

Oh. I thought it said PCP .... Nevermind. :D

Alright, new problem! w00t!

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not connect to the database

What does that mean? And what do I do about it?

Means what it says. Either you entered your database information incorrectly or your database is down (probably due to server load or something).

That means the boards cannot connect to your MySQL database, either because they're down, or because you've pointed them somewhere wrong. In your main PhpBB directory, there should be a file called config.php - check that the MySQL username/password is correct, reupload, and try loading the page again.

I tried that but my config. file has nothing in it..it's blank..and I don't think my server is down... hmm

If your config file is blank, then setup failed. You'll need to chmod config.php 777 (?) so it's writeable by the setup script. Then, you'll need to rerun it.
