1a) Download these files here;
Sorry for advertising, I'm NOT uploading here!

Download IPB 3.1.4

The 2 FTP's you'll need!

1b)Now, you need to get a host/free hosting.
You can use "www.000webhost.com" for FREE webhosting, meaning you will have something at the end of the url "URLEXAMPLE.FREEBYTY.COM" That's what your URL name would be.

Go to Free Web Hosting with PHP, MySQL and cPanel and register like so;
1c) Now, Enter your "Control Panel"
Click this bar to view the original image of 757x116px.

1d) Now, go down to Files > View FTP Details

1e) Now that you've found your FTP details, remember these, write them down, or keep the broswer open until i say you need them again

Now, for the actual INSTALL process!

2a) Unzip the folder as done below.

2b) Then you should get, These two folders Upload & Tools

2c) Now go to your FTP that you downloaded above (FTP or CFTP) & Input your Info from above!
Click this bar to view the original image of 719x450px.

2d) Now that you've connected to FTP, open up the folder called "public_html" Delete the file "Default.php" Then open Upload folder up. And drag EVERYTHING into FTP.
Click this bar to view the original image of 800x500px.

Don't WORRY. There is about 2-3000 files there. About 5 mins wait time.

2e) Now, go to your site; My Tutorial site was : www.reversedgamin.webuda.com You'll get this error ;
Code:

Error: You MUST rename the file 'conf_global.dist.php' TO 'conf_global.php' before continuing. This file can be found in the 'root' directory on your IP.Board install.

Do what it says..
Click this bar to view the original image of 650x327px.
Now Refresh the page-

You should be able to move on-

2f)Now, you will get this error ;
Code:
Error: Can not write to directory: "cache", please CHMOD to 777

Error: Can not write to directory: "cache/lang_cache", please CHMOD to 777

Error: Can not write to directory: "cache/lang_cache/1", please CHMOD to 777

Error: Can not write to directory: "cache/skin_cache", please CHMOD to 777

Error: Can not write to directory: "public/style_images", please CHMOD to 777

Error: Can not write to directory: "public/style_css", please CHMOD to 777

Error: Can not write to directory: "cache/tmp", please CHMOD to 777

Error: Can not write to directory: "hooks", please CHMOD to 777

Error: Can not write to directory: "uploads", please CHMOD to 777

Error: File does not exist: "conf_global.php", please create it via FTP

Error: Can not write to file: "conf_global.php", please CHMOD to 777
Now, do that!


2g) Now that that's done, refresh the page. Then keep pressing next, and i agree and that jazz.
Until you get here.

2h) Now go to your members thing on 000webhost and go into your control panel. Then look for ; » Software / Services > Then press, MySQL.

Make a database like that

2i)
SQL Host: mysql14.000webhost.com
Database Name: a8968603_Reverse
SQL Username: a8968603_Gaming
SQL Password: ***********
SQL Table Prefix:
MySQL Table Type

Input that into your Database, which is above ! Then press next!

Now that's done.
Press next, and get the Admin Account Done. *I take NO responsibility, WHAT so ever, what you do with this software!*

Please make a donation, it'd be nice. It will inspire me to make more tutorials on how to install software like this, add themes, applications & mods!

1: The link is broken.
2: We don't allow piracy here, which I'm guessing that link was as IBP is paid software - I'll keep the guide, since it's not too bad, but don't put any piracy please.
