vBulletin install in a cgi folder on a nt stever

[loco]

Hi my host is http://www.xo.com/ I have 4 folders I can upload to they are as follows:
cgi
files
log
web

I have my web site in the web folder:
http://groundzero-tek.com

I want to install vBulletin or phpbb2 I have been truing to install vBulletin for 3 weeks now I called my host and they will not help he said it should work and he could not support it. I installed it in the web folder at:
http://groundzero-tek.com/forums

I uploaded in ascii the folder and upload and extras folder with all contents. I then uploaded the images folder in binary to the upload folder. I then tried to connect to:
http://groundzero-tek.com/fourms

And as you see all I get is a view of the files and folders. So I did the same as above for the cgi folder andthis is what I get there.
http://groundzero-tek.com/cgi/admin/install.php
and
http://groundzero-tek.com/cgi/admin/forums
and
http://groundzero-tek.com/cgi/admin/forums/admin/install.php

I just dont understand. I havealso tried to configure the config.php.

<?php

$dbpassword="test";

// name of database

$technicalemail = "loco@groundzero-tek.com";

// use persistant connections to the database
// 0 = don't use
// 1 = use
$usepconnect = 0;

// which users are allowed to view the admin log
// separate each userid with a comma
$canviewadminlog = "1";

// which users are allowed to prune the admin log

Well the best place to help with installing vBulletin is at their support section.

On another note. Find a new host. I used xo.com for awhile and found them to be incompetent and a royal pain in the you know what.

They wouldn't even allow chmod'ing of files or directories. They had their own system of changing permissions which would usually not allow me to install many scripts that needed write permissions.
