    Okay guys, I need someone to help me install forums to a sub-domain. I have NEVER installed forums to a sub-domain before, and I actually have no idea how to MAKE a subdomain.

    My current host is http://www.hostprince.biz which came with Fantastico and Cpanel , and my domain name is http://www.renegade-designs.org . So if someone could explain to me what to do, I'll send some credits (trust me, it's worth the time) your way.

    No, my site already has Fantastico and Cpanel, and I have phpBB 2.0.16 on my forums, and alot of mods on that. I have tried all I could think of, to get my subdomain, to have forums and such. I just can't do it...

    This is the subdomain (a new Halo2 clan) http://koast2coast.renegade-designs.org

    Using cPanel; create the sub-domain. It should create a folder you can see in the FTP.

    Just move the forum files into that folder, and should be good to go ;)

    Does your host supply a database like sql, or mysql and if she does you need to put that databas that came with the forum and put it in there
    I dont really now how to do it but there is a way

    Then something went wrong, when you create a sub domain via cPanel..it creates a folder in FTP. Or it wouldn't be a sub domain

    You can also try just redirecting your current sub domain to your forum.
