Hello everyone,

I have a PC that i want to use for a WEB server. The primary function
of this server have to be "forum" and i choose XAMPP for Windows.
I download the package then unzip it in "c:\xampp" after this i start
XAMPP apache server + mySQL + php, then i go to phpMyAdmin and
create DB called "forum". For a forum i choose IPB. And i stuck here...

forum a soon as possible.

First off did you install XAMPP in C:\xampp
Second htdocs is where you should place you extracted IPB files unless you are going to use VirtualHost which I perfer.

Then navigate to http://localhost/ and IPB should begin the installation process.

Make sure you password protect MySQL because there is no password when you install.
