Vbulletin questions on windows xp

[06jack07]

To install vbulletin on WINDOWS xp, do u have to have dreamwaver?
And if yes, does that mean u have to pay for it?

I know there is a trial version but if u use that then upload the files to a webserver but the trial runs out, does that mean the forum will go down?

[Galaxay1]

No you dont need it.

[06jack07]

No you dont need it.
then wot do u use insteaD?

[Galaxay1]

To do what, if your uploading onto a webserver you use FTP (i.e. SmartFTP) and connect to it ftp.yourhost.com user: your cpanel user pass: your cpanel pass.

yeah so i can tell me friend to upload the files from php? right to smartftp then upload them to an domain name right?

[Galaxay1]

SmartFTP connects you to his host so you'd drag the files from his computer into the box and it'd upload then he'd go by vBulletin instructions to install it etc.

ahhh I get bit in "red" but wen u say smartftp connects to the host, do u have login right then upload?

[Galaxay1]

Yes, you open SmartFTP put in the link ftp.YOURHOSTHERE.com or whatever then Username: Your cPanel Login Password: Your cPanel Password then upload them.

[06jack07]

but where is the c panel, where can u find it?

Or is that the password that u make, wen editting sum files?

[Galaxay1]

Yes when uploading things on your site it comes with a user + pass, whatever your host is put ftp.yourhosthere and user + pass ..

i.e.

Ftp.habbox.com
User: Scott
Pass: Scott

The above is just an example and is not real :)

That site above is a domain website , a domain is like www.habbox.com , you need actual hosting (web space to put your content on).

and does msql count as webhosting?

[Galaxay1]

EVERY hosting is legal, you can upload your vB to ANY host.

even msql?

[Galaxay1]

mySQL isnt a host. Most hosts contain PHP and mySQL. So just find a host..

ain't there free legal 1's?
if so where?

[Galaxay1]

Theres free ones and ones you pay for, but personally if you're paying £52 or so for a vbulletin i'd buy a host instead of free.
