I am looking to install a BB. It is for the purpose of demonstration of a software I wrote.

I am looking for one that's the simplest and easiest to install. As I don't want to waste my time configurating the BB, since it is not the focus.

I have no other requirment other than that it allows login. PHP/PERL/Mysql/text based, just anything.

Know of a BB like this?

Thanks,

Peter

Well if your on a cpanel server, you can goto the panel, and click Forum/BBS, it will install XMB (http://www.xmbforums.com), which I think is a decent forum, it installs 1.11 D, but sounds like you don't need the latest....

Try phpBB: http://www.phpbb.com/.
While simplicity is relative, it is simple enough for me to install.

I am on my own, plain server with no cp.

I will look into XMB and phpbb.

I need absolutely no features. Even a text based would do.

Any other one?

Thanks for the suggestions,

Peter

There are a lot of forum software out there. It may take *days* just to find out which one is the easiest to install :)

burining board is cool and very easy... :)
You can look for many others at http://www.hotscripts.com But hey burning board is real cool. Why not have a feature rich forum that is easy to install ..

Have a great day :)

What does burning board means?

Anyway, I am not a real technical person, which is the reason why I am asking for other's experiences for a playing-kind-of board.

I am not trying to destory the board, but it won't be functioning as a forum.

I am simply looking for one with the least effort/expertise to install.

Thanks,

Peter

I definitely recommend xmb.

http://www.xmbforum.com/ (http://www.xmbforum.com)

Download installation involves simply setting 4 parameters.

Its also free, which is always a bonus :)

Hi!
I'm sorry I left out the link.

OpenBB is a breeze @ http://www.openbb.net

Burning Board install procedure
1. Upload files
2. Edit config file(4 lines)
3. Exceute Install.php

Done! :)

This board has to be one of the best boards out there. I just got it installed and it is better than vbulletin IMHO.

I am in the middle of some customization work, but you can view it here:

http://216.218.210.14/

It does look very nice.

I will be looking over them.

Thanks for all the suggestions, much appreciated to everyone.

VBulletin Lite is real easy to install

Follow the links at the bottom of this page and download the free version ;)

Ikonboard is fairly easy, may be in 15 min. max. With any board you install I assume you need to spend at least a few minutes to setup.

yep, i was shocked to find how easy it was to install burning board aka wBB...

change:
username
password
database

in the config file

and click some buttons ;)
