Do you have a web server set up?

a web server?

(sorry I'm a total n00b at this :()

Yeah, you need to follow the instructions on the first page to set up a web server.:)

Well I did *everything* from the instructions in the first post...

Did you install apache, configure it correctly, and then start it up?

I installed apache, started it up, what do you mean by configuring it correctly? Is that done via the php.ini file like in the instructions in the first post?

It should be configuring your apache configuration files.

I'm not too familiar with this, so I think Nakkid can probably help you better than I can.:):bunny:

Ok I just tried it in Opera, and it works...however it does not work in IE6.

What setting in IE6 could be causing this? It takes me to localhost.com in IE6.

Ok ignore my above post...

I have another problem!

After I register an user, when it shows it has sent an e-mail to the specified e-mail address...I get this at the top of the page...

Warning: Failed to Receive in c:\apache\htdocs\forum\register.php on line 517

what does this mean? how can it be fixed?

you dont have am email server installed in your pc. with the the settings mentioned in the tutorial, you can only send, not receive.
