Might be best if you give us a few of the errors you get when trying to install the forums.

If you get "could not connect to mysql db" errors, you probably don't have the location, database name, db username or db password correctly entered.

If you get "failed include" errors, you've probably misplaced a few of the files necessary to get your forums working.

If you get parse errors, something is obviously wrong with the code writing.

If you get errors with functions (for instance fputs() ) and you're trying to work with mysql commands, you're probably got an error somewhere in your SQL statements.

Just a few issues I've had as of late while coding stuff ;) We'd really need an example of the errors you're getting to see the problem. I'm not one for installing stuff I don't need ;)
