phpBB and MySQL databases...

[Kolja]

I have one problem here.s. I want to start my own phpBB forum. I have downloaded phpBB and uploaded it on server. I also installed MySQL Servers and Clients 4.0.18. Is this where I can create database needed for forums? If it is, how to do that? I'm total newbie, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

Why is this in the open source forum?

Are you asking how to run a MySQL server on your PC through Linux?

Are you asking how to manage phpBB that is being run on your computer? This is a very vague post.

MySQL is open source, right? I do not see why wouldn't it be here...

So you have the files uploaded, and MySQL setup?

Now the best way to do this is to use a tool such as PHPMyAdmin to create and manage your databases.
This is very easy to install, and is helpful when you need to create/modify a database, add/remove tables, run queries, etc..

Download it from www.phpmyadmin.net (http://www.phpmyadmin.net)

NP, for an example, have a look here:
http://www.techhelping.com/pages/vbulletin-localhost1.html

That tutorial is for vBulletin, but the process (and setup) is similar for both.
