Hey,

Do you use SourceForge? Because i use it, and i can't seem to figure out how to acess ssh from windows. So if anybody can offer some help, it would be appreciated ;D

[Andrew_Baker]

He's lying because you can use ssh from PuTTY.

[smartguy240]

Yes you can use PuTTY...but unexperianced Dos/Luinx users should use iExploer....

http://i-tree.org

It is an evaluation version...just find some keygen...

It works better than the JUST PuTTY for me....but that is up to you.

ok now...can anyone help me with the SQL thing?

[jrfritz]

Well, mySQL is installed on the server ... if they installed it.

If it is not installed, you cannot use YaBBSE on that server.

[smartguy240]

ugh...ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh....not kewl

[Berserk]

Hey,

What are you trying to setup YaBB SE on? Are you setting it up on SourceForge?

[jrfritz]

Probly not...SF stuff has to be open source.

[Berserk]

Hi,

I know that stuff has to be Open Source. But the only place i know that uses 'ssh' is SourceForge ;D

[jrfritz]

Actually, SF doesn't use SSH...SSH is only a way to acsess it.
