just upload all the contents of "phpBB2" into the directory of your choice ("forum" is a good name)
chmod config.php to 666 and then go to yourdomain.xxx/forum/install/install.php and the script will guide you completely from there on |

Please read all those tiny little words that they typed up in the Installation Guide. All those words are their for a reason, as they answer 99% of the questions.
It is a very well documented script. |

| phpBB2/docs/INSTALL.html wrote: | 1. Quick Install
If you have basic knowledge of using FTP and are sure your hosting service or server will run phpBB 2 you can use these steps to quickly get started. For a more detailed explanation you should skip this and go to section 2 below.
1. Decompress the phpBB 2 archive to a local directory on your system.
2. Upload all the files contained in this archive (retaining the directory structure) to a web accessible directory on your server or hosting account.
3. Change the permissions on config.php to be writeable by all (666 or -rw-rw-rw- within your FTP Client)
4. Using your web browser visit the location you placed phpBB 2 with the addition of install/install.php, e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/phpBB2/install/install.php, http://www.mydomain.com/forum/install/install.php etc.
5. Fill out all the requested information and hit Submit
6. Change the permissions on config.php to be writeable only by yourself (644 or -rw-r--r-- within your FTP Client)
7. Click the Complete Installation button or revisit the location you entered above.
8. phpBB 2 should now be available, please MAKE SURE you read at least Section 8 below for important, security related post-installation instructions.
If you experienced problems or do not know how to proceed with any of the steps above please read the rest of this document. |

Are you sure it's a good idea for you to run a forum?
