How To Install Phpbb2???

Hi guys. I am kinda noob with phpbb. I had a Vb forum and i am pro with it. Now i am gonna start a phpbb2 forum and was wondering how to install it. I need the full steps. Like:

"Photoshop for dummies"


I need to know how to do it with step by step. Plz help!!!

 

I am not sure if you are going to get much help here, but your best bet is to ask this in the phpbb forum

 

Setup a database in cpanel.

Goto your link (yoursite.com/phpbb2)

fill in the details for your site.

It will ask you to download your config file, download it and put it in the phpbb2 folder

delete the install and the other folder it asks (i havent installed it in a while so i forgot)

sorry this explanation sucks, but im trying to help and i have to go for a few minutes

 

I used this tutorial : siteground.com/tutorials/phpbb/index.htm

 

phpBB has documentation for this on their website.

 

Phpbb has the tutorial but its not clear as vbulletin.

 

Download files. Upload files. Run the install file. You have to have a mysql database set up (like with vB). It's that simple.

 

LOL im not that dumb.

I already tried that. But didn't work. Do i have to unpack the file first?

 

Here, i found this:

You download the .zip from the website, unzip it (use WinRAR to do that) and then upload the files.

 

Do you have Fantastico?

If so, use that and it will do everything for you, all you have to is enter a few details like admin email, user and pass.

Very easy, although I do it the 'hard' way.

Also, why not try phpBB3, the new version.

 

How can you be a pro with VB and not know how to install a simple script?

 

Agreed,

vBulletin is more advanced to install.

 

Just one question... Why are going to use phpbb2 when phpbb3 has already been reelased?

 

LOL i know. sounds kinda weird. But....

 

most forums are the same that you'll need a database and user made, then uploading the files via ftp, enter the DB info and install.php
