here the first easy steps
1.) Install EASYPHP
2.) Run EASYPHP
3.) Right CLick on the icon "E" choose [Configuration] -> [phpmyadmin]
4.) create a new database name it what ever do you want [remember the name of your database]
5.) install phpbb2 and extract them to your "www" folder on easyphp
6.) go to your browser and type
http://localhost/phpbb2/
7.) follow this
YOUR APACHE AND SQL MUST BE RUNNING SO U WONT GET ANY ERROR
if ur not sure their running click on the "E" icon and u will see the color there on MYSQL and APACHE [RED: OFFLINE] [GREEN: ONLINE]
Default board langage [english]
Dtabase Type: [MySQL 4.x]
Choose your installation method [Install]
Database Server Hostname / DSN: [localhost]

and if it say the database coudn't be found probably ur SQL isnt running only the APACHE "to run ur SQL, double click on "E" icon and click on MySQL then hit start" wait till it turn to green.
