But aside from that digression, installing phpBB doesn’t look any different from any other PHP web app:
- Install webserver and mysql
- Unpack the tarball in the desired directory, reachable on your web site
- Create database for phpBB (
create database phpbb;,grant all on phpbb.* to phpbbuser@localhost identified by 'strongpassword';) - Browse to the installation directory and complete the online setup
That’s admittedly based on a quick look at the install guide, though.
