	I am really new to any type of websitey stuff. Am trying to install the forum 8.03 and have already run into a prob. I unzipped, and uploaded the files. Created a MSQL database and thought I put the right details into the 'database_connection.asp' file. When I went to run number 7 - I found the address, and input it into the address bar - but am only seeing what looks like a text doc. What have I done wrong? What do I need to fix? Sorry for being the dumbest dummy.... but, help! Cindy

	If you are seeing text like in a text editor it means that the server you are using doesn't support ASP. You need to be using a Windows web server with ASP enabled, like the hosting accounts at www.webwiz.net You should check with your hosting company what they support.
