You are supposed to upload the file to the /admin directory...

You should have maintained the directory structure...

You should have an Admin Folder in the Forum folder;)

Have you made sure that you have uploaded the install.php file?

Right...

You uploaded all your files correctly, except for one thing...

You created the /forum/ folder outside of the /public_html/ folder...

I copied the files to the /public_html/ folder...

Now they will work:)
