Wamp 5

[lufbra]

After doing a computer reformat some time ago, I lost all the info' regarding to this program/server. Can anyone please tell me how I can add a forum to it (for testing purposes), and how I can then view it through a browser, as in what address would I put into the url address bar?

well you installed wamp in some folder, probably wamp/ so you add script to www folder located in main folder and you install it by running http://localhost, if the settings are correct it should work...

I have the forum installed into C:\wamp\www

Through my browser I go...

http://localhost

I then get this...

MyBB Error

MyBB has generated a critical error and as a result cannot function correctly.

MyBB Said:


Error Code: install_directory

The install directory (install/) still exists on your server and is not locked. To access MyBB please either remove this directory or create an empty file in it called 'lock'.


Please try clicking the Refresh button in your web browser to see if this corrects this problem.

We apologise for any inconvenience.


MyBB 1.2.9

I'm not sure where I may have gone wrong, or how to fix the problem?

as it says, remove install folder located in C:\wamp\www

[lufbra]

Doing that shows another error saying the board isn't installed.

[FrEaKmAn]

but have you installed it? run it like http://localhost/install and after installation remove the folder

Thanks, I now have it installed. :)
