I use MAMP which I assume is similar. The app should have an htdocs or www folder in it. Put the phpBB folder in there and launch the app to navigate to it.

I want to restrict access to the forum pages to selected registered users such that forum content is not generally visible to casual web browsers. How would I set that up?

Thank you for all that. I have read through the information but do not understand how it solves my problem.
If anybody, nothing to do with the forum, is surfing the net and hits the URL for this forum I assume that person will call up the forum and have all the pages available to browse. I want to keep all the contents private except for registered users.

Set the relevant permissions for the Guest group (and you probably should limit bot access also).
But in order to avoid any one registering and seeing the whole board, user the Newly Registered Group and restrict their access until you have verified them.

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.
