phpBB question

[diveram]

Anyone use phpBB? I think I am goint to try to set it up. I have a few questions, the big one is can it be used in a frontpage web?

Any help would be great!

Thanks

I have worked with pbpBB, it's very good actually.

I would certainly try it out.

As for your other question, i'm not the right person to ask that.

I am almost there, I seem to be having a hard time setting up a database in mysql....in the reading stage now. I installed php. mysql and phpbb. so far so good!

Any help on a database will be great! (save me time)

Thanks alot! I am having trouble setting up the use of avatars! I have them loaded on the server but I get an error. The screen flashes too fast for me to make out what it says.

Well I guess I can't complain, I did a lot today!

GohanSSJ, do you know how to add birthday notice on the stats section of the phpbb fourm? I have seen it on other phpbb2 sites, but cannot find any tips on it yet.

Thanks

[Mntsnow]

That should be in the Admin Control Panel and is an option that just needs to be turned on.

Its not there, no big deal, I think its going to be more trouble than its worth. Thanks for the responce!

YES you can use it in a FP web.

1: Create your web in FP as usual.
2: Create a folder and name it whatever.
3: Import your folder structure for PHPBB
4: Create a link to the start page of your forum.

I did a similar thing with FP and YaBB forum for shits and giggles here http://67.166.101.233/forum/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl
