Thanks for pointing that out, since I have layouts disabled.

Yeah Cat Lover, congrats.

Like the page says, just make sure you either know your way around this stuff *or* know other people online who do.

And if an AcmlmBoard proves to be too tough to set up, there's plenty of other decent message boards out there that also have installation guides. (Although not much can replace this baby...)

You might also want to check out this first. It's a small guide on how to set up a board.

You don't need to own a server to set up an Acmlmboard (or any board), but for PHP-based boards such as Acmlmboard, you need a web host that supports PHP. There are approximately 0 free hosts in the entire universe that support PHP, which means you will probably have to pay.

And you'll need at least 1 MySQL database.

Besides that though, most free hosts out there seriously do suck. I know there's quite a bit of people running boards through funpic's hosting, so you might want to look into that.

If not, I'd recommend actually paying for some quality hosting.

That's not a site! Even those damn Geoshitties bandwidthwasters can be considered "sites", but I tend to draw the line at "a user page on a wiki".

Yep, if you even want to take setting up a board seriously, you're going to have to find a good webhost. You WILL have to pay unless you want to be hit with advertising, downtime, unreliable service and bandwidth cutoffs. All free hosts will have at least three out of the four problems outlined above, and in plenty of suply.

You need:

- PHP Support
- MySQL support
- A decent amount of bandwidth / data transfer
- FTP Access
- A Database administration tool. PHPMyAdmin is the most popular.

However, it's not like you have to pay a lot. I've got one server that costs me only

Um...why do you need FTP access? I've gotten along fine without it...I guess not all hosts have a web-based file manager/uploader though.

From what I've seen those kinds of services have file size limits, amount of files limits, etc.

While as FTP you can usually just drag and drop whatever.
(I've always used SmartFTP. Very nice and easy to use)
