Do you want to MAKE a forum? That's extremely hard.

If you just want to use a forum, I suggest downloading phpBB2 (www.phpbb.com).

Like rejected said it is a long process and takes up a lot of time and hard work. I found a tutorial at http://pixel2life.com which has a short tutorial on building the basics of a forum. Hopefully this will help.

To see a decent "basic" forum, google on "phorum" (no quotes).

http://www.phorum.org/

A nice basic design and moddable, too.

To create a forum is easy but if you mean create forum software, I am speechless. But to create a forum, google "free forum software" and look for good ones like phpBB, SMF, PBB.
And upload them by following their guides. For uploading them, use FTP to make it quick. I recommend FileZilla.

I will provide you some links to give you some idea's on creating a forum

this should give you some ideas on where to go next and what steps that need to be taken as well. Also looking to CMS scripting as well I do believe their are sever scripts on how to start one by scratch.

Also if you go the affiliates section at gfxtrap.com we have several tutorials sites that do cms as well.

Well to create a software would be a little tedious job.
But if you want to use a free one try SMF.
It is quite good and better than PHPBB2

Dear lucaas
You Must create one subdomain at first (forum or forums) on your cpanel
and then choose Your Forum script , for example phpbb or smf or ipb version 1 or mybb or ...........
and then search at google to find install tutorials
phpbb : http://www.phpbb-design.com/faq/install_phpbb.php
ipb : http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/ipb/index.htm
smf : http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/smf/index.htm
mybb : http://community.mybboard.net/archive/inde...hread-3264.html
You must choose your forum script its very important (security , options , template , skin , and ..... ) of script

Mking a forum is a long and hard process you will neeed to know several scripting languages such as PHP MySQL Pearl and possibaly CGI. you would be better downloading phpbb for another forum software.

I started making a basic php-sql forum and it was complicated but the functions needed werent always very difficult. Most things i needed were just sql database commands to connect to the database and retreive posts etc...And you will need to know about sessions in php which isnt too hard but it does bring along a bit of security that you will need to know in order to make the forum safe.

I actually got quite far in my way along considering ive taught myself php and sql and havent had a world of experience, i got the backbone down where i could post a new message and then call it up in a list of the last topics and then retreive the topic data and print it out to the screen, but unfortuantely i got my laptop stolen and hadnt got a backup so i lost it all, but i felt proud knowing i had the backbone down. It was nothing compared to phpbb and such but to know that if i kept on at it i could improve it to become good was nice.

Dont give up because people say its hard, tis definately not easy but its not impossible, it might take a long time to do though before you have features like a mod/admin panel etc... but keep going, you can do it if you put your mind to it.
