phpBB Setup
Lets you install a new Board that uses
one MySQL database.
CPanel allows you to install a pre-made forum called phpBB. The phpBB is a PHP
web-based bulletin board. Unlike an e-mail list or newsgroup, the phpBB creates
a forum on your web site that allows users to post questions and receive
replies, all from their web browser. This allows you to choose from a variety of
graphical interfaces and smilies - little faces that communicate the mood of the
writer 
. Once a
forum has been created you can modify it extensively, from adding new sub-forums
to changing the visual appearance of the board. Be sure to visit the phpBB web
site - http://www.phpbb.com/
- for more information on how to customize and use your phpBB
Note: Keep in mind that each
separate installation of phpBB takes up several megabytes, and will grow in size
with the popularity of the forum.
To install a phpBB forum:
- Click on the Bulletin Board
button on the home page.
- Enter the name of the forum folder in the
available field. Note that the folder must be on the top level of your site.
- Click on the Install
button.
