Topic: phpBB2 problem

[Henry]

I followed Dan's how-to correctly, but when I try to access the install.php file with a browser, all I see is the source code, not the config screen.

Any clue for help?

Yep, most likely you didn't follow the howto correctly.  Take a look at your template fragment, specifically this line:

    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml

...and make sure it's exactly as specified in the howto.  If that's correct, make sure that it's in your httpd.conf file (that's in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf), and then restart apache (with /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd-e-smith restart).  Try again, and see what happens.

All is how it should be, apache restarted and all.
I have the phpbb2 folder in the html folder of an ibay. I can't navigate to the phpbb2 folder due to an error received.

www.mrlistersir.com/m231/html/phpbb2/install/install.php gives me a 404 "url not found" error.

Any more suggestions?

Your how-to was very easy to follow. tnx...........

If you put it in an ibay, you didn't follow my howto.

Try

www.mrlistersir.com/m231/html/phpBB2/index.php

The redirect will take you to the install page. Also note the capital "BB", if you just untarred the file in the html directory it will have capitals.
