how to make a forum using phpbb?

Answer 1

I was asking the same question to myself, but finally got the answer. Checkout www.sentosajaipur.com/forums
I am using phpbb. basically what u do is just download the phpbb, unzip the files into say localhost/yourwebsitename/forums and when you open it in the browser http://localhost/yourwebsitename/forums/index.php it will automatically start installing and configuration but make sure you have apache webserver and either of mysql/db2/postgre database installed.

Modification is very very simple, just analyse the code a little bit and you'll know it.

Hope this helps.
