I have no clue about php, not even just installing phpBB. If anyone is willing to help me install it on Barrysworld, could you please reply.
Thanks

Have you tried installing it? It's really very easy to set up. You just download some files and put them in a directory on your site, edit the path to the files in the config.php file and then use a web browser to set everything up through the install.php script, which ask for a bunch of information, like your mysql database login, etc.). The installation instructions in the user guide are actually pretty good, and the install is relatively painless.

It's actually the easiest I ever have come in touch with and a great board as well, highly recommend it :)

Well n/m on the php idea, cause my free host doesn't give MYSQL, although when you use a ftp to login, you do have the SQL folder wich confused me. So sorry for taking your time, and thanks for replying, I'll jsut have to wait till I get a real host.:(
