I need help installing a phpbb forum or any forum really contact me on msn: Getowneddogg@hotmail.com

www.phpbb.com

download phpbb3 and NOT 2 get the phpbb3 (RC7) just put everything on your host :

its gonna be a ZIP file once you downloaded from the phpbb site, unzip it and upload it to your site.
once uploaded read the docs if my memory is good you need to chmod 777 : cache, downloads, avatar/upload and something else, also chmod 644 the config.php (WELL : all this is inside the docs/install.html)

once you did that, just go to yourdomain/forums/install/ of course if you left the normal path its not gonna be forums but phpbb

once you are on the install just follow steps.

Well i know im not really explaining the thing but everything is on the docs folder file called instal, do QUICK install. gonna take 5 minuts, i install phpbb3 at least twice a month.

I am going to be on tonight, im going to work right now, add me to msn garo36@hotmail.fr if you still need help. we can do it in 5 minuts, but make sure you have a database ready to use. and a host

^ touz has said just about everything, but during install if the zymic mysql can handle it ( i think they can) dont use mysql use mysql with MySQLi.

just makes your forum run better.
