I have been trying to setup phpbb will over 3 months with no success. The more I try the dumber i get. It took me 30 on windows to get it up and running. For some reason that part of my brain doesn't work on linux. I can get get phpbb, mysql, and webserv install ok but when it calls for conneting the 3 to work together it just doesn't happen. I am thinking about trying to setup on my linode. Has anybody had success with this?

what sort of problems are you having while trying to set it up? any errors perhaps?

if your having trouble with the sql tables a good way to visually see whats going on is to install phpmyadmin...

you need to have the following in httpd.conf for php to work

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Additionally you need to have PHP *installed* for any of this to work. So if you are using your distro's apache package, then get your distro's php package. Or if you compiled apache by hand, then you need to compile PHP by hand as well.
