I was hoping someone maybe able to help me out. I am trying to start a new forum using phpbb, but I can't figure out how to get the forum board thing upload on to my website.
Would anybody be able to help me out with this? I'll happily pay a small fee as it was driving me nuts last weekend. If anyone has experience of adding phpbb to a website please let me know.

Thanks,

James

Just create a 'Forum' link on your site .. upload the forum software to a seperate directory .. lets say you call the directory 'forum_files' then link your 'Forum' link to urwebsite.com/forum_files/index.php
BTW .. the software should have an install.php file that comes with it .. then visit urwebsite.com/forum_files/install.php and you should be 'walked through' the installation process .. bear in mind you will have to create a database and will need this info when installing the forum

The person above is pretty much correct. To link your forum to the site just add a new button to your main site Forums , and then when people goto your forums they should see www.mysite.com/forums . If you dont get it fixed let me know I'm sure we can work something out.

Don't forget you need a MySQL database (you can use one for multiple forums, just set the header as
forum1_
forum2_
forum3_

etc...
