It&#8217;s written in the PHP scripting language and used by millions of people around the world. With phpBB you can easily create your discussion boards and start your own community with just a few clicks of your mouse. phpBB is very customizable and there are a number of templates, languages, style and image packages available for it&#8217;s customization.<\/p>\n<p>phpBB supports multiple database engines such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, SQLite, Oracle, and MS SQL Server. We will use a MySQL database, and assume that you already have MySQL, Apache, and PHP installed on your CentOS 6 server. Please note that phpBB requires MySQL version 3.23 or higher, and you must be running PHP 4.3.3 or higher.<\/p>\n<h2>Installation<\/h2>\n<p>Check the version of the MySQL server installed on your VPS, by executing:<\/p>\n<pre># mysql --version<\/pre>\n<p>And for the PHP version, execute:<\/p>\n<pre># php -V<\/pre>\n<p>Before beginning the installation, ensure that your system is up to date.<\/p>\n<pre># yum -y update<\/pre>\n<p>Install the following PHP modules if they are not already installed<\/p>\n<pre># yum install -y php-mbstring php-gd php-xml php-imap<\/pre>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the installation.<\/p>\n<p>Download and unpack the latest stable version of phpBB, currently 3.0.12, from their <a title=\"phpBB\" href=\"http:\/\/www.phpbb.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a> to the document root directory on your server<\/p>\n<pre># wget https:\/\/www.phpbb.com\/files\/release\/phpBB-3.0.12.zip\n# unzip phpBB-3.0.12.zip -d \/var\/www\/html<\/pre>\n<p>To find out Apache&#8217;s document root directory, execute:<\/p>\n<pre># grep -i '^documentroot' \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/httpd.conf\nDocumentRoot \"\/var\/www\/html\"<\/pre>\n<p>Optionally, you can rename phpBB&#8217;s directory to whatever you want<\/p>\n<pre># mv phpBB3\/ phpbb\/<\/pre>\n<p>The next thing we need to do is to create a MySQL database for the phpBB installation<\/p>\n<pre># echo \"CREATE DATABASE phpbb;\" | mysql -u root -p\n# echo \"CREATE USER 'phpbbuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'YOURPASSWORD';\" | mysql -u root -p\n# echo \"GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpbb.* TO 'phpbbuser'@'localhost';\" | mysql -u root -p\n# echo \"FLUSH PRIVILEGES;\" | mysql -u root -p<\/pre>\n<p>Remember to change &#8216;YOURPASSWORD&#8217; with a strong password.<\/p>\n<p>Change the owner of the phpBB directory:<\/p>\n<pre># chown -R apache:apache \/var\/www\/html\/phpbb<\/pre>\n<p>With this step, we have installed from the command line. Now, navigate to <em>http:\/\/yourdomain.tld\/phpbb<\/em> or <em>http:\/\/yourIP\/phpbb<\/em> and continue with the configuration.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the web installation, phpBB will do some tests on your server to ensure that the server meets all the requirements. You will also need to enter the information for the MySQL database we&#8217;ve created earlier in this article, set your administrator account,t and email settings.<\/p>\n<p>The final step is to delete the installation directory<\/p>\n<pre># rm -rf \/var\/www\/html\/phpbb\/install\/<\/pre>\n<h2>Congratulations<\/h2>\n<p>Done. If you closely follow this tutorial, you will have successfully installed phpBB on your server, and you can start creating your own community.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you are one of our <a title=\"Linux VPS Hosting\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/managed-vps-hosting.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Linux VPS Hosting<\/a> customers, you don\u2019t have to do any of this; simply ask our admins, sit back, and relax.
