At UK-Cheapest.co.uk we strive to provide easy access to the latest software whilst minimising the technical know-how required to complete the installation.

We have setup an assisted installation script for this most popular piece of forum software. There are minimal requirements before your can begin the installation. We have made the install process as simple as it can be!

Before we begin...

Make sure you have your Hosting Control Panel login details handy - received by email when you signed up.

1) Let's create the 'phpbb3' database. To create a 'phpbb3' database login to your Hosting Control Panel, hit the 'shortcuts' tab then 'mySql Administration Tool', then the 'Create Database' tab (3rd tab along). Type 'phpbb3' then press the 'Save' button. Your database is now created. (help)

2) Now let's set the mySql password. If you have not set your mySql password then while still in the 'mySql Administration Tool' hit the 'Change Password' tab (4th tab along). Enter a password (maybe use your FTP password?) and hit 'Update'.

Let's do it!
