Help With Installing Phpbb3

[Leonz]

Hello there.

 

I'm trying to install t phpBB3 on leonz.heliohost.org. Yes i am the owner and creator of the site. My problem is i get stuck about half way on the instruction located here: https://www.phpbb.com/community/docs/INSTALL.html#webserver_configuration. I get up to number 5. but from there on i can't seem to able to access the install tab or even connect to the right address. I am hopelessly confused and have been trying to figure this out for the past 5 hours.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Sincerely Leonz

phpBB is included in Softaculous, just use that to install it without the hassle. Version 3.0.11 even.

Here's a link to Johnny's softaculous menu http://johnny.heliohost.org:2082/frontend/x3/softaculous/index.live.php

 

Step 5 looks to be upgrading from phpbb 2.0 versions to 3.0. Are you upgrading an old install or are you just installing a fresh copy?

I think he means

 

• Using your web browser visit the location you placed phpBB3 with the addition of install/index.php or pointing directly to install/, e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/phpBB3/install/, http://www.mydomain.com/forum/install/ etc.
  
• Click the INSTALL tab, follow the steps and fill out all the requested information.
  

 

in the quick install.

I guess we've discovered the reason why it's standard practice to do steps with different numbering systems for sub steps like:

 

1.
a.
 i.
 ii.
 iii.
 iv.
2.
a.
b.
c.
 i.
 ii.

Lol, yeah, they kinda did that later on except they used

4.
    4.i
    4.ii
    4.iii

which seems more like the typist was having trouble keeping track of which instructions he was currently working on than anything else.
