Hey guys, Im new here so Im gonna get straight to the point and hope to get some good replys
I recently downloaded couple files from limewire and now my computer is acting really messed up, It takes long time to start and after turning on
I get many notifications from my firewall that something is trying to connect to the internet, Im worried if they may be trojans or viruses and
that someone is trying to steal my passwords.

Please help me, Im kind of low on budget and wouldnt like to take the computer to an expert and pay a lot of cash for it, all the ideas are welcome
and I will definetly try them! Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi, i setup and installed phpBB with ease, even without this tutorial, but the problem i face is whenever i click on the “login to adminastration panel” it prompts me to download the “login.php” file, how do i stop this so i can setup and install mods etc.

I would recommend SMF over phpBB, as the later has had some serious security issues, which might or might not persist under phpBB v3.

phpBB does have a much bigger community, and you will be able to get help, if you need it. Its also a bit easier to setup.

If you want to just try out phpBB under Windows, without the setup, you can get a WAMP Server distribution that has it pre-configured…

I’m testing a Tomcat/PHP5/MySQL5 integration.

Without updating the default php.ini file, I get the error mentioned by William. After updating the ini file to include the mysql extension, my server crashes when trying to open the PHPBB site.

Ideas?

William, have you enable the mysql support in php.ini?

I have Apache 2, php 5 and mysql 5. I have set them all up correctly but when I try and install phpbb2, (after clicking submit) I get the message “The PHP configuration on your server doesn’t support the database type that you chose”. Any ideas anybody why this happens?
