I unzipped it and uploaded all the files within the folder. Perhaps I didnt go to the bbpress admin cp. Theres a link to it right?
Nevermind, I uploaded all the files via ftp (file manager) and it works. (I think) I tried running config.php as soon as I filled it out correctly but all it did was give me the exact text as there was in the file. No installation tables, html, or anything. Just text. If its ok, would you like me to provide a link to it?
Its still a php file type but I dont know why its just text. I got all the database paths right and the prefix table. Any suggestions?
