Er ... what platform are you trying to install on. If putting your site on the net you will need a host (would suggest checking out www.nxserve.com as they are pretty good at talking people through problems). You can also get Jelsoft to set up your site for you, but there's a cost involved.

More details needed to get started.

NerdNations, sorry brought the licence for other people who are in the process of putting up a site for their specific tech requirements. Uziel might be tempted to sell his licence however. Check on vbulletin.com some one there was offering a licence as well, free of charge but wanted to be an admin on the board.
