Help with phpBB setup	Can't Post

Ok.... I've got myself a web host that allows PHP, MySQL, and all that stuff, and a copy of phpBB 2.0, so... now what? I tried following the instructions on the web site but they are way too complicated... Can anyone give me a simple explanation on how to actually set it up?

You need to install it on your mysql database!

To do so you can do it manually by searching google for mysql database set up!

Or go to www.YOURDOMAIN.com/FOLDER_FORUM_IS_IN/ it should ake you to a install area where you fill out the information and bam your in!

Never mind. I found what I was originally looking for, a host with pre-installed phpBB and no ads. Thanks anyway.

You have to set up a MYSQL database.

Fairly simple with Cpanel, but also theres a automatic option in Fantastico that lets you install the new PHPBB with the click of a button, but if you don't have Cpanel you have to set it up manually, Installing PHPBB is easy, but MYSQL Crazy
