Phpbb help

[heedicalking]

Well, Thanks for all your help with the HTML/notepad thing. I got that to work. Now I want a forum for my website. I am trying to get PHPbb to work but I need to know what to do. I downloaded the latest zip with all the files.

First of all, you need to set up a database for your site.  I have a CPanel installed, so I can't really help with that part, unless you have it too.

Next you simply need to extract all files from it, and put it into whichever directory you want to install it in.  Then, I think there is install.php that you should go off the directory from (e.x. www.mysite.com/forum/install.php).  I'm not too sure since I haven't dealt with PHPBB3 recently.

Wait, set up a database? Like something to upload files?

Well, I usually use a MySQL database.  These things contain the data for your forum, such as members, topics, posts, etc.
