Hi.

I need to install a phpBB forum in a server, to my disappointment, that has no php, mysql support.

Now, what is the easiest way installing phpBB message board in that same server? I mean, what and how (the easiest method) I have to install the db/mysql/whatever to activate phpBB?

If you guys can describe the solution here precisely or can provide me specific links, I'd really appreciate it.

Regards~


PS: My aplogy, If anyone else asked this same question before. I ran the search engine and it pulled up too many thread to read..

Is this your own server at home and you have direct access to it? Or is it a web based server of another hosting company?

If web based server then there is nothing you can do in regards to installing mysql/php.

Thanks Quantum for your kind reply.

Well, it is one of lycos.com's server. They're taking a healthy amount and still no php support!!

They have CGI/PERL support tho. So, I assume I can use yaBB, right?

Is there any other good BB for CGI - than yaBB, Quan?

I am not sure. Please check with your choice board if it can run on CGI only. On the other hand, if you are paying for it, you might be simply better off getting a host that gives you php-mysql and cpanel. For 6/7 dollars a month you can get a very decent host.
