Download and Start
A quick guide in my words
- unzip phpBB3 locally
- cp to server
cp -r /localsite/phpBBFolder/ /remotesite/phpBBFolder
- config.php (666 or -rw-rw-rw-)
sudo chmod 666 config.php
- folders (777 or -rwxrwxrwx):
sudo chmod 777 store/ cache/ files/ images/avatars/upload/
- INSTALL tab with info
- sql hostname
- new phpBB database name
- sql username
- sql password
- Done, then change the permissions on config.php to be writable only by yourself (644 or -rw-r–r–)
chmod 644 config.php
- phpBB3 now runs.
- delete/move/rename “install” folder on server
- login admin page is at the bottom
- style chooser:
- polyethylene http://www.phpbb.com/styles/demo/3.0/?style_id=185
- style install
- unzip to
/templates//styles/ ref
- change logo
- upload image to /styles/stylename/imagesets
- imageset/imageset.cfg
img_site_logo = site_logo.gif*52*139
- go control panel / style for editing
- import user
