Simple Forum.

[CommittedC0der]

HIYA ppl I was wondering if there was any way for me to put a simple forum on my website? I don't know a lick of PHP so I need like a pre-made one that you can upload like this one http://www.phpbb.com/ but I have now idea how the crap to set it up so does any one else know of something like this that is simple to set up?

Thanks, Tanner.

I'm sure you have answerd your own question, there are plenty easy to install forums!

Each have easy to read documentation, or just use Google!

You install phpBB by doing this.

1. Download it from www.phpbb.com
2. Extract it to your harddrive
3. Upload it to your server with your favourite FTP Program, prefferly to a sub folder named "forum" or whatever you want it to be
4. Open your browser and surf your web hotel with /forum addon to the url (or whatever name you choosed in step 3)
5. Follow Instructions on screen. When told, do #6
6. Delete the directory /forum/install
7. Start using it.

Dont forget to CHMOD to 777 all your files and folders within the forum, then delete the Install directory when your finished.

Well.. I really would suggest vBulletin 4 to you but it costs very much so don't use that for beginning.. I suggest phpBB or SMF. They are best free forum software around here at the moment (untill I'll release my own )

Ehehe.. Well I haven't started with it.. too busy with my hosting site and my design site.. :/ but I promise one day I will start coding it

Jaan you should team up with Davide as he's thinking of starting a custom forum software. Although there's lots of work to be done, getting a good team together will definitley help!
