Having done what I state below, when I go to mysite.com/forum/ I only get a list of files in the forum folder. I would appreciate any assistance.
I don't quite understand third step of the installation:
Open the config.asp file in your favorite text editor
a. Remove the ' in front of the "strDBType" variable with the database type you want to use.
(what do I put in place of ' ? - I just removed it)
b. Update the "strConnString" variable with the correct path to your .MDB file or to the SQL-server database (I set it up like this: dim strDBType, /cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.mdb, strTablePrefix, )
Make sure you remove the ' in front of the variablestring you want to use.

it may be quicker to take a look at the FAQ section instead of explaining here.

The FAQ section does not provide inoformation concerning this topic, and the FAQ forums have been locked, otherwise, I would happily use them. If you could suggest something, however, it would be greatly appreciated.

firstly to stop getting the listing you need to enable default.asp as a default document.
The part which you are now at is setting the config file to database type and to point to the database. If you are using the access database un-comment the access database line (uncomment by taking the ' away, you do not put anything else there just remove it like you said) then you need to uncomment a connectons string and set the location of the database. if you know the virtual location like you put below use access connection string with virtual path , /cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.mdb. Then run the forum
example:
strDBType = "access" '## access, sqlserver or mysql
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("../cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.mdb")
