I'm trying to use the PHPBB and I can't evenunzip the compressed file because it says that the sofware needs to be updated, when i try to update, Windows will not associate the file PHP extension so I can't open it. I'm a novice, so this may be easy for one of you smart individuals out there. thanks in advance.
Does anyone know how to set up a bulletin board on a yahoo site?
Make sure that your yahoo site supports PHP hosting. If not, your bulletin board will not work. You will also need to have a MYSQL Database installed. If yahoo does not have this, then PHPBB will also not work.
Once you can confirm that you have both, upload all your PHP files (unzipped ) onto your yahoo webserver. Open the README.txt and follow instructions carefully to run PHPBB. You will not be able to run PHPBB on your home PC directly, unless you install Apache and MySQL. (this is a pain in the *** to do)
Now, if you dont have PHP or MySQL support, there are some mysql/php free bulletin boards you can use in the meantime. I would recommend using the ones at http://www.bravenet.com/
