Hi Chuck,
Yes i did rename the respective files to config-inc.php and config-int.php.
The message did look very generic.
This server currently runs a joomla CMS which i had installed in a similar fashion and just checked that the site is still running so PHP is definitely still working.
I had made a copy of the phpbb3 forums from the actual site (
FrontPage) and installed it onto my personal web hoster. The forum currently runs well on my personal web hoster.
The file permissions were set to 777 for both files.
Are there any other things i should be looking out for or might have missed as part of this installation?
