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

it for me automatically. Thank you!...

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?...

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....

I wanted to know if it is possible to add code to phpbb if so how. By adding code I mean adding html

because it is open source....
