it tells you step by step how to do basically everything in the instructions. you dont need to know beforehand, the manual is perfectly done.

for ikonboard, read the manual. if somehow you mess up, but followed the manual perfectly, then it is probably the server's settings. NT servers have been known to cause a problem with many cgi scripts. ask your host.

if for some reason you do not understand the manual, just upload all the cgi files with their respectful directories to your cgi-bin. chmod them all to 755 i believe. again, this is all better explained in the manual. upload all the image files with their respectful dirctories to the directory "forum" in your public directory.

my best advice: read the manual!
