I have read the inst and faq...

 

I recently moved a copy of forum to my website.
I installed and all seemed to go well.

 

so i deleted the install folder as part of the install process. and it just keeps taking me to install.php

 

I put the isntall folder back, and ran install to connect to my newly created db which had about 6.x megs added after the install.

 

Then I kept getting the message could not connect to db.

 

I am sure it's right, and tried several times to reconnect with no luk

 

Any ideas?

If you're not already, you need to remove install.php as well once the installation is complete.

If you managed to get the installer to run then you must have entered the correct MySQL details. If the installer completes successfully then you must be entering the correct details. If the connection error is occuring when you're trying to run the install then obviously the details are not correct and you will need to check them. Only you can do this for obvious reasons.

Also make sure your config.inc.php has been uploaded into the right folder. It needs to be in the include folder of your Beehive Forum installation.
