Overview
Installing phpBB was very simple. All the instructions were on the site and very easy to follow.
Hosting I am using 1and1.co.uk which offers me SQL servers and PHP support and a hosting account. I had initially decided to keep my blog in a seperate folder so I could link through from my site to my blog.
Instructions
SQL Database Create an SQL database and record the connection info:
- Database Name
- Hostname
- Username
- Password
phpBB Files Download the phpBB files from phpbb.org unzip them onto the PC, then used filezilla to FTP the files to the server.
Configuration Point a web browser at http://www.mysite.tld/phpBB2 then get access to the config screen and add in the relevant information, delete the requested files and log in Done!
