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.

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.

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

I have one problem. I did everything but I cannot access the admin panel. It just loads then stops on a blank page. I deleted the install thing.

[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
