Step 2

1. In your 'cgi-bin', create a directory called "yabb2" (or whatever name you wish to use in your forum's URL). If you do not have a cgi-bin, then first create a directory called 'cgi-bin' and then inside that create the 'yabb2' directory. On some web hosts, it is not required that Perl scripts reside in a folder called cgi-bin. Verify this before proceeding. The example structure is provided in the YaBB package you've downloaded.
2. Upload all of the files in ASCII mode from the 'cgi-bin/yabb2' folder into your new folder. You should have a folder structure similar to the following when this is complete:
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Admin
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Boards
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Help/English/Admin
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Help/English/Gmod
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Help/English/Moderator
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Help/English/User
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Languages/English
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Members
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Messages
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Modules/Digest/Perl
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Modules/Time
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Modules/Upload/CGI
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Sources
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Templates/default
   • cgi-bin/yabb2/Variables
3. Then, in a section of your webspace (outside the cgi-bin, generally in a 'public_html' or 'htdocs' folder, as suggested in the package's folders), create another directory called 'yabbfiles.'
4. Upload all of the files from the 'public_html/yabbfiles' folder into your new folder. View the "Installation 3" section of this guide to see which files should be uploaded in Binary mode. You should have a folder structure similar to the following when this is complete:
   • yabbfiles/
   • yabbfiles/Attachments
   • yabbfiles/avatars
   • yabbfiles/Buttons/English
   • yabbfiles/ModImages
   • yabbfiles/Smilies
   • yabbfiles/Templates/Admin/default
   • yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default
