Default Create your own free forum (Easy Way)


You can create your own free forum with the easy way, NOW LETS DO THAT
  1. Get a free PHP hosting such as www.byethost.com.
  2. Register yourself and a domain name here.
  3. Go to www.phpbb.com or www.simplemachines.org and download their php forum software.
  4. Download an FTP-client and upload all the php content to your host.
  5. Create a mysql-database on your host (through the cpanel) and a username+password for it.
  6. Go to yoursite.yourhost.com/forumdirectory/install.php
  7. In your FTP-client, go to Config.php, go to properties and set the CHMOD settings to 666(if you are using phbb2).
  8. Follow the instructions on install.php
  9. After finishing installation, go to the CHMOD settings of config.php again and set them to 644(if you are using phbb2).
  10. Delete the Install and contrib directories.
  11. Go to yoursite.yourhost.com/index.php
