Anyone know how to install phpbb3 ?

I have no clue.

If you haven't already done so, upload the conents in phpBB3 to a directory in your account (/forums/, /phpbb/, etc...), and and from there, go to /install/ (if you uploaded it to /forums/, then it'll be /forums/install/). make sure you create a mysql username and a database, add the user to the database (all in cpanel's mysql database script), and put the proper values in the proper fields. remember that your mysql username and database have your cpanel username prefix, so your database will be cpuser_database and username is cpuser_username . If you need anymore help, just ask.

Go to Cpanel and Install it using Fantastico =D

Fantastico only has phpBB2.x. The only way to get phpBB3 is to install it yourself :/

If you are getting a blank page, then take a look at this thread

oh. I downloaded phpbb3, how should I make the directory and which files do I upload ?

Well, if you're using Windows, open up Internet Explorer, and type ftp://cpuser:cppass@yoururl into your address bar, changing the username, password and url to match yours. That will make internet explorer turn into an ftp client. Alternatively, if you have an ftp client other than internet explorer installed on your computer, please use that instead.

Once you've connected to your server, make a directory with the name either forum, phpbb, or anything else (it needs to be made inside of public_html). This is completely up to you, and it will work no matter what you name it. Upload all of the contents of the extracted phpBB3 folder to the directory you created on the server.

Then run the install file (which I described above and other steps too) and complete the forms.

All I get is a directory, I can't add nothing to it.
Edit:
Should I just use the file manager and upload all the files with that ?

 

[xPlozion]

The filemanager in cpanel will take a while to upload all of the files associated with phpbb... a good (free) ftp client to use is FileZilla. You should be able to upload all of the files from there.

I downloaded and installed it. Then I entered my address and password (don't know what to but for port) and it wouldn't connect. (saying

Connecting to server...
Error, could not connect to server
Trying to reconnect in 5 seconds
Reconnecting to server...
Error, could not connect to server

)

so you put the host as your domain name, the username as your cpanel username and your password as your cpanel password? if you did, then check the FTP Accounts in cPanel to see if there's one there...

I'm sorry it's taking longer than expected to get it started :'(

Actually I think I'm just going to with phpbb2 for now, phpbb3 isn't really a big upgrade. Thanks for you though though.
