None of the instructions from here say to delete anything from MySQL as part of an installation? The database (the MySQL part) is essential, without it you can't have a board.AsaSK wrote:but I read that it was best to delete the installation files from the MySQL once the installation was completed as they weren't needed anymore?
public_html
or www
or htdocs
and that is where you need to place the files. If the package files and directories are in a folder that folder name becomes part of the address. By default the phpBB package is contained in a folder called phpBB3, if you upload the whole of that directory your board the address would then be http://depressionandaspergers.com/phpBB3/index.php
.Code: Select all

No need to redirect. Move all the files and folders in the phpBB3 folder up to the domain root.AsaSK wrote:Kevin was right, I deleted all of it, not just the install folder![]()
