Idiots guide to installing phpBB forum software.

[nichorob]

Hi there,

First of all, apologies for my cluelessness, ive never done anything like this before and I really dont know where to start.

Basically, I want to install the phpBB forum software onto my hosting. My hosting fully supports all of the requirements listed on phpBB homepage. Ive spent hours trying to follow the packaged installation file to no avail. Ive googled for help and asked on other forums to no success!

Can anyone provide me with an idiots guide to installing the software?

Thanks.

Im just stuck generally really, I just need something that I can follow from start to finish aimed at a complete beginner that I can follow with ease. My hosting is with www.vidahost.com , I can install yaBB through cPanel but its not really what I want.

After a bit more searching, I just downloaded Filezilla as a new FTP client, and voila, ive got the web based installation page in front of me! Did that in about 2 mins! *smacks forehead*
