phpBB

Recommended Posts

....To use this tutorial, you need not know anything about PHP, and need only have had minimum experience with databases.phpBB is a stable, open-source, bulletin board script available as a free download from phpbb.com [1]. It allows you to set up an unlimited number of forums and categories. Users, moderators and user groups with varying permissions can be created. In short, it provides everything you'd expect of a bulletin board service. For a complete list of all supported features, see phpbb.com/features [2]. .....*edit by r3d...

With all the information at hand, installation is as simple as pointing your browser towards the install.php file. If you uploaded the directory phpBB2 and its contents to the root directory of your server, the path you need is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ domain>/phpBB2/install/install.php.

 

Fill in the text boxes and press the Start Install button. Within seconds you should be finished -- installation really is that simple. All the necessary database tables have been created for you. If you wish, have a look at them. There should be a total of 29 new tables -- and we haven't even had to think about SQL!

 

Shut down your browser, and don't forget to delete the directories called contrib and install. phpBB won't run until you do so. If, during the installation, you were asked to download the "config.php" file, you must now upload it to the phpBB2 directory, overwriting the existing file.

Mate,

If you want to contribute ... contribute omething original ... this came from another website (https://www.sitepoint.com/build-a-phpbb-forum/) and is not your own work.
