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!...

Ok, i am hosted here and i am trying to get the phpBB2 forums installed on my site. I have made a
database, i have uploaded all of the folders to the FTP. Now everytime i try to start the install,
it either says that there is a critical error, and that i have configured something wrong. Does

appreciated. Thanks....

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?...

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'...

I posted this in this thread: http://www.trap17.com/forums/upload-compon...led-t30338.html But

then I draw it again: I cant login to the phpbb admin panel on my site (The Admin mambo panel

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....

I wanted to know if it is possible to add code to phpbb if so how. By adding code I mean adding html
so I could add stuff like affialiates and stuff like that. Thanks for your help. I also wanted to
know if that is allowed before anyone posts an answer, I figured it is if you leave the copyright
because it is open source....

I was wondering, is there any way that allows anyone to post to phpbb? Even all the guests that come
to the board? Is this even a good idea? I'm not sure what kind of things would happen if I did
that. Like would I be facing lots of spam, or is there something that I should be worried about if
I'm going to run my boards that way. Does anyone else have a board open to anyone or have you
tried that before? And if so, how have you found it? I'd like to know what to expect a little
more if I'm going to go about doing that sort of thing. I think it is the be...
