Does your site have PHP and MYSQL? It'll need those.

Let me start over "I wish".... Other than that, I'm happy with AOL atm... ... I know it needs a php or mysql server to operate...

They now have some free hosting servious for their forums also (noting up on the free and what it takes to run it).... :wink:

:lol:

Ok thanks for the info guys. The only problem is that my site dosent have PHP or MYSQL. I cant write in them either. But i checked out a book on PHP from the library recently so i better start reading!!1

Your hosting company needs to provide php and mysql for it to work. You don't have to currently use either on your site.

Also, these come prepackaged, so you don't have to program them yoursevles (unless you're modding them). They come with complete instructions that explain each step.

I looked it up and to get PHP and MYSQL with my provider im gona hafta get the $20.00 a month plan, and i kinda dont have time for a job with school and being lazy. Oh well. and i understand the prepackaged part.

I have a linux box with Apache+PHP+MySQL. Easy to set up. Free. Sits in my closet humming away. =D
