lol@bharathbala2003. It indeed does sound very familiar.
Dunno what is wrong with 100webspace now. I have an account there, it is working fine for me. Dunno what is wrong.
@«TechnoPhile» as for your problem it seems some problem with the php. Are rest of the options working fine?

If everthing is smooth then great. There might be a problem in the initial admin page, as a function called there might be giving an error.
Congrats for your forum. Happy Administering. :lol:

Na, Buddy first leave the config.php thing.

U can even install the forum without this file. When the forum is unable to write to the config.php it will give an option to download the config.php and then manually uplloading.
All this is automatic so config.php is not a prob....Try uploading from the start...

If you have bought any Linux hosting service then you must be having CPanel X , control Panel .
And if Yes then its too easy to install a PHPBB forum like this ( Digit Forum is also PHPBB ) just login to your control panel , look all the icons closely there is a option of " Bulletin Board " click it . - FxBOOM

invision is an alternate forum software to PhpBB. It's similar but has much, much more features.

phpbb is very easy becoz complete install is online and you are explained the error's in very simple language, unlike nuke or invision, which if you get wrong creates a mess.

I love phpBBB. And the best thing I like about is that I is highly customizable. All the features u get in invision or any other board, most of them could be installed in phpBB too. And there are many many skins to use. And besides another version of phpBB is around the corner. Olympus. It is going to have many features preinstalled. And best of all phpBB is free and open source. :D

I just tried phpBB XS (not official phpBB) and it's really cool, brings up phpBB to invision standards, and any dummy can use it.

@Rohit, i'd like to ask how you put the news coulumns and avatars on your forum, also, how did you put in the global announcements
