can anyone help me with phpbb forum i keep gettin errors when i try to install CashMod and suggestions?

Yes, the cashmod of phpbb has one thing missing if you try to install it through the easymod. So once you install using the easy mod, you must manually go to your phpmyadmin area , into your phpbb database and run the mySQL query that comes with the mod.

But, it installes perfectly when you install it manually.

When u install it manually dont u have to edit files or something like that?

Yes, you do have to, but when you install it manually, following the guidlines given for installing with the mod, you will follow all the steps including installing the SQL database tables, which is usually being messed up by the easy mod.

Well, maybe it would be better, if you could actually post the error that you are getting. Coz i think i have an idea which make the work much simpler.

HOW TO INSTALL PHPBB

Here is an extract from the **** that accompanies the phpbb archive with the name INSTALL.html in the docs directory....

Quick Install

If you have basic knowledge of using FTP and are sure your hosting service or server will run phpBB 2 you can use these steps to quickly get started. For a more detailed explanation you should skip this and go to section 2 below.

1. Decompress the phpBB 2 archive to a local directory on your system.
2. Upload all the files contained in this archive (retaining the directory structure) to a web accessible directory on your server or hosting account.
3. Change the permissions on config.php to be writeable by all (666 or -rw-rw-rw- within your FTP Client)
4. Using your web browser visit the location you placed phpBB 2 with the addition of install/install.php, e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/phpBB2/install/install.php, http://www.mydomain.com/forum/install/install.php etc.
5. Fill out all the requested information and hit Submit
6. Change the permissions on config.php to be writeable only by yourself (644 or -rw-r--r-- within your FTP Client)
7. **** the Complete Installation button or revisit the location you entered above.
8. phpBB 2 should now be available, please MAKE SURE you read at least Section 8 below for important, security related post-installation instructions.

If you experienced problems or do not know how to proceed with any of the steps above please read the rest of this ****.
