yeah I had problems too.
Try following the instructions. Now if the forum happens to come up, but there's nothing appearing on the page but garbage, there is a script for upgrading databases that sorta will fix the whole thing (I'm sure richard knows what I'm talking about) that when it's ran and the site is upgraded to newest version, things will magically start to work.
(I had that problem with installation).
The other thing is, if you do not have the database in a directory where there is read write and execute permissions for the server itself, then the database will not be executed. Without those permissions, you may be-able to copy the database into a directory, however, the server will block itself from writing to the database and it will cause the whole thing to fail. You will get an error.
Also making sure the right directory is in the config.asp file is something you might wanna check.
make sure you have asp 2.0 or greater installed.
And finally, make sure you have your datasource properly specified in the config.asp
You do not need to configure the datasource as a dsn (can be dsn-less) however, you do need to specify it's type, otherwise the scripts will not work.
