I run a fully operational website and I am considering adding a simple forum.
Before I commit to doing that I want to experiment with phpBB at home on my Android to gain confidence in the facilities.
Is it possible to load phpBB software on my Android and experiment with formatting etc independent of any formal hosting service?

A quick search for personal Webserver on Android.
Be aware that (for ease of use) you'll need a bit of "viewing" space. Portability is not a criterium to be neglected in this case and I'ld consider a 10" screen an absolute minimum.
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

You don’t mention Android what, phone tablet etc? The tech republic article, above, looks fairly comprehensive and I see there’s an HTTP Server on playstore. Make sure whichever way you jump that whatever you use must meet the phpBB requirements.
