A good site to get your own phpbb3 forum is freephpbb3[dot]net no ads, upgrade to your own domain for free. No uploading/editing files, just an instant forum right when you need it.

[ShalemariTV]

someone help: how do we upload the domain to ftp

[shaural]

Hi all, I'm stuck on the part between the 6th and 7th minute where I need to make sure that at least one of the 'supported databases' is 'available'. Its showing that I've got 3 available and it still would not let me proceed with the instalation. I tried to download Firebird as an addition, but it doesn't even recognise that. Any advice? Thanks a lot in advance :)

[guruebook]

What if one dont have website to start with ?

[1ecaj]

[evilatsupreme]

@signvisionsolution Glad to be helpful

[minevilleofficial]

hi mate you know u are using the webhost could i host my adobe dreamweever website of that hosting site or would i have to do it separate ?

[asdfzzxcv723]

music is annoying and distracting. have confidence in your voice and the value of what you do.

[BeezEntertainments]

Thanks a lot man!

[evilatsupreme]

Alright, i got the solution for those having problem in step 2 of installation.

Fire up Filezilla, open ur ftp, go to htdocs and then in the root folder of phpBB, there should be a file named .htaccess. edit it and add:

php_value mbstring.ht tp_input pass

php_value mbstring.ht tp_output pass

without spacing between ht and tp

Save it, click test again and you are done.

[MinecraftTVHD]

@evilatsupreme Thanks

[SchoolProjectize]

@evilatsupreme how do u edit it

[evilatsupreme]

@SchoolProjectize Using Filezilla, just right-click on it and click edit.

[romanboyjoe]

@evilatsupreme It wont let me save it. When I go to edit it only gives me the option to change the program. When I paste what you said in, it doesn't work

[Textra1]

@evilatsupreme

You absolute legend. I've been pulling my hair out on this for an hour and now it works. Thank you.

[evilatsupreme]

@Textra1 You're welcome :)

[evilmage1010]

@evilatsupreme WHERE DO I PUT THE VALUES?

[evilatsupreme]

@evilmage1010 Into the .htaccess file.

[evilatsupreme]

In mbstring extension check section, H T T P input character conversion is false.

Any ideas how to solve this?

[YTavish141]

Hey mate! THanks this is very useful! but just 1 Question! when it gets to the step 6:00, installing where I need to proceed install, it keep saying test again, and above where the Databases are most of them are Unavailable! PLZZ ANyone ?!

and all files are writeble

[TheHolyTerraria]

Byte host is great but thye banned me for getting ddosed >.>

[lmao4787]

OMG PLEASEEEE HELP IT SAYS TEST AGAIN ANY1 CAN HELP ME CLEARLY I WILL BE GREAT FULL TO YOU :)

[iExD]

>>>>>Anyone help me out please? <<<<<<<

I heard that 000webhost is better than byethost. However, looking at what they have to offer, I mostly see the disk space difference. So for forum hosting, do I want one with more disk space? By the way, i heard that 000webhost allows something about mass mailing or something (idk what that is ).

[SkylerTatum]

Hi I just had a few questions about phBB and I can't ever find someone who can answer them. I keeping getting this "general error" all over my forum and I can't seem to figure out what is causing this if you would be so kind as to help. Or anyone who is willing to help I would greatly appreciate it.

[FormEcss]

At 6:13 you say that "You want most of then to be yes if anything says no, check what it is" with your there is only one No and with me there is two No's how to I change it from no to yes? Btw the one thats no with me is yes with you.

[FormEcss]

@FormEcss And the "Start install" button says "Test again" how do i fix that?

[nicnats1]

@FormEcss if it says try again ur missing something. on the list look for sections that say REQUIRED. on required ones look for the word no in read. which required ones say no?

[nicnats1]

@nicnats1 or not found or unwriable

[FormEcss]

@nicnats1 It doesn't matter now anyways. Its works now ;). Thanks anyways.

[iRunWindows]

@FormEcss How? im having the same problem.

[FormEcss]

@iRunWindows First i used Google Chrome then i went to Internet Explore and it worked. +The second try when it worked, i used another web host :) Thats how i did it :)

[stekkingerj]

On your video point (4:30) can you please explain setting up the directory better. I could not follow this and cant get set up properly

[stekkingerj]

In the beginning where we need to set up the files on our data base, you need to slow down. I lost you and can not set up my directory properly has 2 seek help somewhere else. The rest was ok

[trobstar]

uhhh can u do this with a weebly site ROFL

[pkmaster650]

@trobstar this is for people who actually make their site them selfs not for using site builders :3

[Andy1s3]

@pkmaster650 when u create a site without any site builders u have so many choises u controll almost everything and thats makes t good when u do with site builders u have so little choises

[pkmaster650]

@Andy1s3 exactly my point Andy :D

[TheJakekeith]

Hey Makimoto Jin if you are watching this this is Blitz I created the forum! Check Deviantart!!!

[amberbean30]

This was awesome. I have no experience in this arena AT ALL. I was able to follow this tutorial and even got to "write" some code to fix an error with my testing phase. THANK YOU for putting this out there and making it easy to follow. I learned a lot!

[brian188246]

[11TechGuy]

no phpBB may be the name but it's not just a forum it was a form of computer communication in the 80's! from the old BBS sites that you would dial in to.... and BBS stands for buliten board system and this forum is a PHP powerd bulleten board! see? this is what happens when all these high school nerds get on youtube and start posting tutorels with there mac wanna be computers and the stupid music and there cracky voices >:(

[MrTheJokesta]

Best TUT ever, Ive looked at this a ton of times for my PhpBB3 Sites. <3 You!

[MrCityLight]

[rjrobbins2]

When I follow all these steps and go to my domain and the file extension of my FTP files, I do not get the installation screen but rather a directory of the PHPBB files. Am I missing something?

[carojprice]

Great video but found the background music distracting.

[coryboiere]

Thanks Man This Really Helped Me Now I Got My Own Forum :D! ( Subscribed )

[jammierunescape]

the putting onto filezilla took me over 14 hours

[MacDaMost]

having a problem locating my domain name that was given from byethost7. created a sub domain and used that to try to get to the install screen but its not letting me ....help!

[SergeantPeters]

Hey, I want to thank you so much. Very informative.

[felsstubbsy]

Thanks so much!

[doshuevosconajo]

what could be wrong if you get some failed transfers where you show your video at point 5:19. It said on starting the upload about over writting som files from C drive to htdocs ? I followed everything to the letter and am running Windows 7. Any ideas or should I just delete the whole new file and upload again?. Thanks for your help.

[rock4life119]

@doshuevosconajo It may have timed out. It does that if you leave it for more than 20 seconds. To fix it, go to Edit, then Settings, and turn the time out to 0.

[doshuevosconajo]

@rock4life119 @rock4life119 Hi. Sorry to bother you again. I went over your video again this morning and re installed the whole lot, where I went wrong was creating a file in the FTP called forum, but it was 2am in the morning and I was blurry eyed by then. I now have it all up and running "Thanks to you" and have been lookng as to where I can get a tutorial showing how to put a name at the top of the forum or some tags, the skin I don't mind. Thanks again for your help.

[rock4life119]

@doshuevosconajo To change the name and that, go to the Administration Control Panel, and under the General tab, go down until you see Board Settings. The first two settings in there change them

[stekkingerj]

@doshuevosconajo I had the same problem, the video tutorial takes a few short cuts that make it difficult to follow.

[InsurgenceRX]

you are da best!

[scatchntrance]

when copy the fils from desktop to server, many files give error 'filename already excist"

it was correct to overwrite them?

[oogey123]

[mevmevmev]

What is the database server hostname for a yahoo small buisness account? Yahoo doesn't list the info conviently like Cpanel.

[handsomethomas]

[bobieludnapes]

What should I write about to install phpbb forum.which site

[jersydvl]

Great video, very informative. Just seems the forum i installed with thatByethost is very slow. Im guessing thats because its the free version?

[Barani00000]

thanks !

[InnerflamesUnLtd]

I do exactly the same as shown in the video but instead of the install page I get a bunch of codes. What gives?

[chestyproductions]

@InnerflamesUnLtd You probably messed up somewhere in the process. Make sure you're copying over all of the files correctly when in FileZilla.

[clarkey1591]

[MrToasteh]

I have a problem. When ever I type in [Mysite].byethost7(dot)com/for­um I get some other site. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

[xTechcreations]

On the newest version of phpBB, you must do what it says about fixing the file permissions for this to work.

[gavin3191]

[goldenisle100]

When i used your suggested host the php files copied over and i made a directory in htdocs but when i went to my domain it wasnt phpbb it was the normal host site... so i tried another host that didnt have the htdocs file but let me go on the installation page anyway but this time when i tried to make the files and directories writable by changing the permissions to 751 it still said unwritable :// can you help ? do i need another permissions number or is it the host again ?

[thebtran1]

[datshortkid1]

@thebtran1

I'm no expert but I think you can.

Just enter your GoDaddy host,user,password into the FTP client and then upload your forum files. I'm pretty sure it will work. :)
