@neenach2002Sep 18.2004 — Download it from phpbb.com. Get a hosting package that supports PHP and MySQL...

I offer free hosting...50 MB and 500 MB bandwidth for free...

PHP and 5 MySQL DBs

@neenach2002Sep 18.2004 — I was correct! Looky there!...he's a newbie and a n00b...hmm....a n00bie...:p

Upload it to your server using an FTP program. If you don't know what that is, search for "FTP program" in Google. Whoa....what a concept?....GOOGLE!

Oh, and here's the link to that...

[URL=http://www.google.com]http://www.google.com[/URL]


You'll never learn if you keep on going to others for help...why don't you experiment around...maybe read the instructions included with your download?

And if you mess something in the download up somehow, you can just re-download it again....so there's no need to be afraid of messing something up.

If your host doesn't support PHP or MySQL (and I don't believe Tripod does), then you don't.

The only other alternative I can think of is sign up for something like [url=http://www.proboards.com/]Proboards[/url]; other than that I think you're out of luck.

I don't understand. What file do you have, and why are you writing HTML in it? Do you have a question?

You said you are using Tripod for hosting, so you will not be able to have a forum on your website. The best you can do is sign up for an account for something like Proboards.

[list]
  • [*]Searching google for an FTP Program

  • [*]Getting a host that supports MySQL and PHP

  • [*]Uploading your files to the server

  • [*]Trying things out on your own instead of asking us questions repeatadely

    • [/list]

    @rhsundergroundSep 19.2004 — well if you just want to make the appearance of a forum, go to a forum (preferably not this one) and just copy the source code and put it on your page.

    @Paul_JrSep 21.2004 — [font=palatino linotype]Uhm, now I’m comfused. Do you want an actual forum on your site? If so, it isn’t possible with your host. You can sign up for some free forum at [url=http://www.proboards.com/]Proboards[/url], and I think that’s about your only option. If you just want something that looks like a forum… I don’t really see the point in that. ?[/font]
