First of all, before I ask my question, I do understand that running a server and running a bot on
this hosting is against the Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, I am not asking to do either
as stated in the rules. Am I allowed to have a Java IRC client on my site for people to be able to
connect to another server, or is that against the rules as well? I haven't been able to track
down an answer to the question in the search function, so I thought I would check it out here before
I add anything to my website. If this question has already been answered, feel...

I am getting very frustrated as I cannot for the life of me figure out how to install phpbb
completely. I've uploaded all the files using FTPSmart. I think clicked on the install.php
fine, and was taken to the screen where I fill everything out. It says I successfully did all that:
Your admin username has been created. At this point your basic installation is complete. You will
now be taken to a screen which will allow you to administer your new installation. Please be sure to
check the General Configuration details and make any required changes. Thank you for ch...

Hello! I was just wondering how I go about installing the phpbb forum on my site. I assume I
go somewhere from the CPanel? I think someone told me that the CPanel has something that installs
it for me automatically. Thank you!...

database, i have uploaded all of the folders to the FTP. Now everytime i try to start the install,

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?...

Guys i was trying to install a phpbb modded forum, i followed this tutorial i had, and was about to
install it fully when i got this error message An error occurred trying to update the database

would be greatly appreciated. EDIT: I talked to a friend about the subject and he said i had to

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'...

Does the Java or the CGI chat room already installed on the server in cpanel work? Because they are
not working for me. I've tried both and they both fail to work. In cpanel, its under
"preinstalled Scripts" then "Java/CGI Chat Room" When I try the java chat room, I get this error:
When I try the normal cgi chat, I get a page cannot be displayed error. Do the chat rooms just
don't work? or is there something to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.... P.S. I did

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....
