I've installed VLC and followed all the isntructions for the installation (although they're kinda confusing me a bit) but I got to a point after I run the server and configure it.. then it say try to add the files so I can access them from my N900
the problem is that I either dunno how to do that or that I can't do it, because I've tried and nothing seems reasonable to me.

please help me
I'm so excited to use this amazing software and that I can be able to watch movies without transferring them to my phone.

thank you

If you installed the latest server, you should have a "Configure server" menu item installed. It should open the web interface. If not, make sure you run "Start server" first. Once the page has loaded, click on the "Collection" tab and then the "Add scanned folder" button. Browse to a directory where you have your media and click on the "Add this folder" button. Don't just add your c: drive or it will make the scanning last a lot longer. Click on the "Close" button and you should see the folder you added on the list. Click on the "Update collection" and wait until it's finished.

Also make sure it says "VLC running: true" under "Status" tab before you try to play anything.

I used start server then configure it to upload the page and almost everything was good except of how to add the files, but now the server doesn't even work I dunno what to do

Hmm, if you have it installed now, select "Stop server" from the menu, go to the folder where you installed it, delete the .config folder, select "Start server" from the menu and then the "Configure server". That should revert back to default without the need to reinstall anything.
