Is there any basic, newbie sites for learning about these for setting up a forum? Everywhere I go, it seems to be only for advanced users.

Hi force_flow2002,

Do you want to write your own forum software, or do you want to install a forum software package?

**Force Flow** · 01-26-2003, 03:13 PM

I'll be installing. I downloaded FUDforums.

Most are generally not that hard to install and don't really require much knowledge beyond paths and such. If you want to edit the templates and do some custom mods that will require some skill.

It says it needs PHP and MySQL. Do I need to install these?

Check with your host. Most do have these installed on their servers.

I don't have a host as of yet.

So, when I install the forums, all I woiuld have to do is put the files in certain bin directories?
