Thanks guys. I'll go into some detail now. I've had a good nights sleep. on the 12 installation steps by web wiz (sql version) I have done the following:
1. have a windows web server with the requirements
2. I have an aql server database
3. I have unziped the forum zip files to my hard drive and kept the files and the images in their origional directory.
4. I have uploaded them through FTP to my webspace keeping them in the origional directories.
5. I have created a database on the sql server.
Now, the next 6 - 10 have me totally lost.
6. Edit, with a text editor, the file 'database_connection.asp' found in the 'database' directory entering, where indicated, your SQL Server name, your SQL Server Authentication details, and the name of the empty database you have created for the Forum on the SQL Server.
7. Run the file 'msSQL_server_setup.asp' found in the main folder of the Forum in your web browser. This file will create all the tables, relations, and default values in the empty database you have created on the SQL Server. It is highly recommend for security purposes that you delete this file from the Web Server once the database is fully created.
8. The Forum database should now be created and you can now use the Forum.
9. Once all the files are uploaded and the database created on the SQL Server use your web browser to navigate to the folder on your web site where you have uploaded the forum to.
10. Now that your forum is uploaded and running see, Setting up and Administering the Discussion Forum, to find out how to set up forums and administer your forum.
I don't know much more about this kind of thing. I have bitten off way more than I can chew. Can any one help this lost gal out? I've stared and read so much that I think i've probably look too much at it. and now, the answers are probably staring me right in the face. I might even be making it harder than it really is.
Thanks for listening to me wine.
