  • Getting Apache ready to take phpBB, or just installing PHPbb?

    -Q
  • Download the following items.

    Apache2
    PHP (Not the installer binary, get the ZIP binary!)
    MySQL
    phpMyAdmin

    Install Apache2 as useal.

    Install MySQL as useal.

    Make a directory called PHP in the ROOT of your drive and Unzip PHP into that directory. Copy the file php4apache2.dll from the SAPI directory in your PHP directory to to ROOT of the PHP directory. # Copy file php.ini-recommended from <drive>:\www\php to your %SYSTEMROOT% directory (C:\WINNT)
    Rename file %SYSTEMROOT%\php.ini-recommended to php.ini Edit %SYSTEMROOT%\php.ini

    doc_root = (to directory where Apache is located)
    extension_dir = (to directory where PHP/extensions directory is located
    session.save_path = (to C:\WINNT\tmp directory)

    Make a directory in your PHP directory called phpMyAdmin and Unzip phpMyAdmin into that directory.

    Now heres the tricky part. Just copy and past this bellow into your HTTPD.CONF file

    LoadModule php4_module "C:/php/php4apache2.dll"
    DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

    ################################
    <IfModule mod_alias.c>
    Alias /phpMyAdmin "C:/PHP/phpMyAdmin"
    </IfModule>
    <Directory "C:/PHP/phpMyAdmin">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from 127.0.0.1
    </Directory>
    ################################

    After doing all of that reboot the system and then use IE or what ever browser you use and access http://127.0.0.1/phpMyAdmin/ and make a database called phpBB with 666 and then run the phpBB installer.
