How to make a forum using phpbb?

[Mahabub Hassan]

I am using PhpBB. basically, what u do is just download the PhpBB, unzip the files into saying localhost/your website name/forums and when you open it in the browser http://localhost/yourwebsitename/forums/...it will automatically start installing and configuration but make sure you have apache web server and either of MySQL/db2/postgre database installed.

Modification is very simple, just analyze the code a little bit

I could never start one :/ I'd need someone to start but I wouldn't without a domain name lol

I hope you mean a domain name that has .com, .org, or .net and not .forum

In a perfect world, subdomains would be fine and they would probably save people money, but the world is just far too competitive for that.
