Problem with DB Install

My first question is simple...

Should I upload db_install.php to the root (where sitemap.php is located), or to /contrib/db_install.php?

When I try to run the db_install from the root I'm getting a white screen with a hacking attempt message.

When I try to run it from the /contrib/ path I get:

Should be ran from the phpBB directory (where it is installed).

And you must be logged as admin to do so, maybe that's just it.

Small Q...

I had some errors a I think I cleaned it all up.

Only thing is it's showing in the XML file:

http://mysite.com/...

Instead of:

http://www.mysite.com/...

I have a redirect already in .htaccess for "non www's", but I thought I should have the right path in the XML.

Thanks!

I checked the Google status and it has errors because of this.

"Paths don't match" is the Error.

Fixed it.

Changed:

$paths['root_url'] = 'http://'

To:

$paths['root_url'] = 'http://www.'

Thanks

Well, this just comes from your phpBB config, you'd rather add the www prefix from there, otherwise occasion will be many where phpBB will not use it.
