As the name implies, I think it would be a good idea to giving those who aren't really "mod
savvy" a chance to look at what phpBB's could look like with some regular mods installed. If
this thread is innappropriate I'll be glad to delete it away or rather, I give permission to
have it deleted if it isn't appropriate....

Ok I feel really really stupid (Which I am when it comes to this) but anyway on the SMF forum, there
is a package manager, you click install, and it installs the mods on the forum. However, sometimes
it gives you a link, to download the mod. So yeah I download it, and it appears on my desktop as a
bunch of icons that only make a million tabs appear when opened. I was wondering where in the world
am I supposed to put these mods so that they will work? I have tried some things but they did
nothing... Please help! Why Don't I ever get any replies! ...

Hello! I was just wondering how I go about installing the phpbb forum on my site. I assume I

QUOTE Obtaining SMF You can download the latest beta from the download page on the
official Simple Machines website. There are a number of packages available, as this guide covers
fresh installs, you should download one of the "install" packages as these contain all the files
needed to get up and running. We suggest you download the zip option as this is most common and
therefore you are more likely to have the tools required to unzip it already installed on your
computer. Unzip the package, ensuring you keep the directory structure, if you are using Windows ...

I uploaded a new style for my PhpBB forum through FTP. Then I installed the style in the PhpBB
Admin. Panel. But in the Style Management section I am not able to change the style. I can see both
the syles listed there, but I cannot change the styles. Please help me....

First of all, I was wondering how i could go about creating a log-in section, and using the phpbb
logins (forum names and passwords) and making it protect a certain area of my site, as i would hate
to have 2 different logins for the forum and the site... basically, im looking for something that
allows you to log into the forum without going to the forum, and when ur logged in on the forum, it
also allows you to go to a different area, outside of the forum. Secondly, is it possible to
create a .zip file with php directly on the hosting server?...

Table 'phpbb_admin_nav_module' already exists If anyone could tell me how to fix this it
would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: I talked to a friend about the subject and he said i had to

file i had to download and ftp to the forum. So once i did that, i tried the forum ...

Hey guys, I am not entirely sure if you can help me here, seeing as how the forum software is not
your own, but I have a problem with my site. Fantastico will not properly install any of the forum
software. To clarify: I have used Fantastico to install SMF and PHPbb2 on my site, but neither have
worked properly. After installing SMF, when I visited the site, I got this message: QUOTE

reply option with these pbpbb forums. I know I have seen it in other forums but i think they were
ipb. Not sure though. Thanks in advance. Zach Topic title and description are VERY important.

I found a hosting control panel package called Zpanel. Supposedly it works with Windows and *nix. I
am thinking of uploading and installing it on my web space here, to see what it is like, and then
maybe install it on my SuSE Linux box here at home. Would there be any problems installing it that
would mess up the server or would it violate the hosting TOS?...

Hello.. I dont have any knowledge of MySQL and PHP...I have my site hosted here..And i installed SMF

I have a phpbb running under the fantastico in my cpanel. The mySQL file is 5+megs. What size is
considered typical? Do I have to worry about the size at all? Will the application run any faster
if the forum is 'pruned'? Backups are performed weekly so I am not concerned about loss of
data. I was just wondering about how efficient the phpbb code is. Will the forum run as quickly if
the database is allowed to enlarge to twice the size? Or should I consider the auto-prune as an
option. Also, is there a way to select which topics get pruned and which ones don'...

Hey, guys. Well recently the website that had previously hosted my phpBB forum went down and I
decided to look for alternatives for my forum hosting. I realized that both www.Trap17.com had it
and the host that my friend has. I have searched through the many topics and posts on this forum
and I still do not entirely understand the installation process of a phpBB forum. Both the
Trap17.com account and my friend's account have Fantastico, Script Libraries and phpBB Bulletin
buttons in the CPanel. I have attempted several times to go directly to one of these and tr...

I think I' ve done everything by the book. It was allowed on the forum ACP, it is allowed by
user, it seems to be allowed on the posting form, the tag list has been added at the ACP, the
preview accepts it , but the posts show the raw tags as part of the post. Is there anything else I
need to do? Does the Admin have to allow it? Is it dis-allowed for the trap17 free hosted accounts?
Your help is appreciated....
