phpBB forums

Hi there (cool I seem to always start it with that) anyway a quick question about phpBB I want to use it on my website but I have no idea how to put it on. The phpBB website seems to not be that helpful in that area does any one know what to do it will probably be something simple but god knows what you are meant to do! Have a look @ it http://www.phpbb.com.

Most hosts have phpBB available for installation

And phpBB is generally very helpful. Most require only a few steps to install - have you read the included readme file?

Most webhosts actually offer something called " Fantistico " In their Cpanel ( I am guessing you have Cpanel?)

Anyway if you do have Cpanel you can login to it, Go to fantistico and click on install phpbb. Most hosts offer to install PHPBB2 version 2.0.22

But some hosts do offer to install PHPBB3.

If you do not have this feature enabled, I would suggest you read on how to install PHPBB2 or 3 manually.

if you cant do this, if you would like I will help you installing it for you.

Tastysite, ask your host to install it for you, or many offer plans with phpbb preinstalled, my host [banned domain] gives it on all shared plans.

or get a book on to install it there are many in amazon.....

Why pay for it when http://www.phpbb.com offers a documents and guides on how to do this?

lol I'm with penguin
I would never pay to install a free, open source program

phpbb.com > Support > Documentation > <<YOUR VERSION OF PHPBB>>

Documentation for...
phpBB2 Installation || phpBB3 Installation

your real slow lol you dont need to pay for the books you just search for the pdf file of them online duh smart one

So you recommend Amazon and then imply we're slow for not assuming every single book is made available in PDF form to obtain illegally...to install a free program in the first place.

yes amazon to search for the book of your choice then googling it .....

If that's what you're suggesting, than you are even slower

Believe me, you don't need to search for anything... it's all there

You are calling me slow? My friend. Just for you I will explain this.

1. Open your internet Browser.

2. Type in http://www.phpbb.com

3. Click on downloads

4. Select the version of phpbb you wish ( do you need a book to assist you with this)

5. Read the Documentation
