having trouble adding a forum to my site. Im using the free mini BB (minibb.com) forum. i upload the files/folders exactly to instructions. im supposed to run the /minibb/_install.php in my browser, but it spits out a 'database/config error' and i cant enter the setup of it! any experience or help you can offer? website is sportingmn.com ive uploaded all files to sportingmn.com/minibb/ ???

I don't know about minibb, but *most* of the forums have a config.php file that you can edit yourself. It may be named config.default, config.php.bak, or such. Check the root folder and/or perhaps the installation folder to see if minibb has one and if so, edit it to include the connection details to the db server. HTH
