Installed phpbb via instructions provided by Blue Host, where my web site is hosted. Acquired the pdf: phpBB 3.3 Proteus Documentation
In case it matters, the forum is here:
https://ca23rd.org/community/
This is my first BB creation. In the ACP, group Board Settings, I captured the name of several settings, search the documentation and found no better explanations. Is there a better place to walk me through these setups?
I am trying to create my first category. Go to the ACP and select Manage forums. It opens with text titled Forum Administration and a first category link. I cannot figure out how to create a category. There is no place to enter a category name. The only text box has a button labeled: Create new forum. I want to create a category, not a new forum. What have I missed?
When I try to create a new forum, a warning is displayed:
The specified forum image does not exist. With on exception I stayed with the defaults.
What did I miss?
Edit:
Tried to add first user, returned to the admin account, from ACP, click "Users and Groups", get the message "This page isn't working right now."
A clear indicator I omitted something in the setup.
Edit again: some progress was made in that I can activate a user, but when trying the create a forum it displays the message:
The specified forum image does not exist.
Resolved: This user was not fully paying attention to the problem and the presented instructions. In short, I was not using the image field properly when trying to create a forum or category.
