How to install 3.0.0

[SeanTrek]

Good evening, class, today we will learn how to install phpBB3.
First, upload the file that you downloaded from phpbb.com

First, you go to from "License" to "Installation" or whatever it is.
Choose your SQL Database manager.
After you've done that, go and connect to your databse.
(Your MySQL Server is usually localhost, your server port is usually 80)

Then, after you've connected, create your admin username and password. This is not your MySQL Username and password.


Now you have successfully installed your forum. You can click the link (Or maybe it's a button) to log into your ACP.

Feel free to build your forum after that.

phpBB 3 is still in beta and it's for testing, if that sounds to scary to you, then use a stable version of phpBB2: http://phpbb.com/downloads.php
