3Essentials will gladly install phpbb forum 2.0.22, the latest stable release at the writing of this article. 

  • We will only perform this is a new/fresh installation, with a new/empty database; we will not perform an installation as an upgrade to an existing installation.  If you wish to perform an upgrade to an existing installation, we refer you to phpbb.com for installation packages, instructions, and support. 
  • To request us to perform a phpbb forum installation on your site for you, please submit a support request with the following information:
    • Directory name where they want phpbb Installed. ie... www.domain.com/forum (or "root" if you wish in the root of the site, i.e., www.domain.com)
    • If you request a ROOT installation, please be aware that we will be placing files in your httpdocs folder, and subfolders as part of the installation.  If you have folders and files of the same name, they will be REPLACED as part of our installation.  When submitting your request, please indicate that you are aware of this, and approve the installation anyway.  If you are unsure what files/folders are created by the installation, visit phpbb.com and check the install package and documentation. 
    • Your domain limits must have 1 available MySQL database, as we will be creating a new/fresh MySQL database for your phpbb installation
