Simple Machines forum on own server

[Hawk]

Now i just want to know how to make SMF forum on our own server same as Argonath forums.

http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=941

The Steps are

1) Obtain webinstall
To obtain webinstall simply download it from the download page.  The file is small and should download quickly.

2) Upload webinstall to your server
Using FTP or another service upload the webinstall.php file to whatever directory you want your forum to be located at.

3) Point your browser to the webinstall script
Open up your browser and type in the address of the script.  For example if you uploaded the file to the directory smf it would look like http://www.your.domain/smf/webinstall.php

4) Select the version and languages
First select the the version of SMF you want to install and select the languages you want to be installed at the same time.  Please note that languages are tied to specific versions of SMF.
If you are a charter member or have access to other non-public packages you may fill out the login form with your Simple Machines Community Forum account information.  This will allow you access to those packages.

5) Fill out the FTP information
If you are prompted to do so, fill out the FTP information so that webinstall can properly download and extract the requested packages.

6) Accept the license
Please make sure to read over the license and if you agree simply check the box

7) Submit and sit back
After submitting the form, the script will do some internal verifications and if nothing is wrong will start downloading the packages.  Please note that it will take a little bit of time to download the first package and it may appear that nothing is happening, we assure you there is.  So sit back and let webinstall do it's magic.
In order to keep from overloading your server, or from timing out, webinstall will pause between each file it downloads.  As long as you have javascript enabled it will resume automatically, otherwise you'll need to click the continue button.
After downloading all the packages it will begin extracting the packages.  Just like with downloading, during extraction webinstall will pause between packages.
Once webinstall is done extracting all the packages you will be transfered to the install or upgrade script.

8) Continue on with the appropriate script
If you are installing a forum please continue on with Installing SMF
If you are upgrading a forum please continue on with Beginning the upgrade

I can only do the 1st step - I dont get anything from the 2nd step.

First of all, do you have a web hosting provider?
What do you consider "your own server"?

Jesus christ man! that server of yours is REAAAALLY slow. You have to w8 ages for the page to load. I think you should use bought hosting not some free hosting thing like byethost13 . Its not even working correct. you cant register or something :S

[Rusty]

Buy hosting from http://www.poundpergig.com it's only $1 a Month for 10GB Bandwidth and 1GB Of disk Space and around 10 Databases an it uses CPANEL 10 or 11.
