How do i add Forums to a website.i can use PHP but the Sql DB isnt working..and i need to figure out how to make it where ppl have to use a password to access everything once they login ....AND . i need to know how to add background music......any ideas? lol

since it appears you don't know where to start to build a forum, it might be a smart move to get a free forum from someplace like phpbb.com. its open source, so you can customize the code and look, and add background music to it. that would be your best bet.

I get this when i go to my forums page

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at /users/iwebland.com/fbhclan/forum/config.php:19) in /users/iwebland.com/fbhclan/forum/includes/sessions.php on line 182

any idea on how to fix this? if you wanna go look..go to www.fbhclan.iwebland.com/forum

Without knowing what forum software you are using, if you have mySQL database access, etc. I think it would be best to make sure you have the proper components before installing.

On a previous post, you didn't know if you have mySQL support available. So make sure that is available first or you will be wasting your time.

Looking at iWebland.com, there is no mention of mySQL support. Just ask them.

your using phpBB, which is the software i use on my website. Did you add any mods to it before uploading it? Thats is a huge problem that some people have when installing phpBB, is they put in a bunch of mods and it messes stuff up. make sure in your config.inc.php that you have everything set up right also cause that could cause problems...also tell me the exact steps you took when you installed phpBB...

as far as your signup box that doesnt need sql, make sure you have the folder permissions set properly or else it wont work. If you using a unix server you can log in via FTP and change the permissions to allow anon write access to the one spot where the flat files for your sign up is...

Is there any way you could do that for me?
if i told you the info to sign into my site?

it might just make it easier if you would create a mock user account that allowed full access to ONLY that folder. I might be able to help you if I can see everything.
