Running A Board forum From Your Own Pc

If you wish to install php and mysql to run a phpBB installation on your computer, first you will need installers. Most of you have windows, so I recommend FoxServ. This is a great program that installs php, mysql, and more on your windows machine in under a minute, excluding download time.

Download foxserv 3.0 from http://www.foxserv.net/

Run the foxserv install program, it is pretty self explanatory, just do what it says.

After you get everything installed, run the foxserv control panel and click the install buttons for everything.

Open winmysql ADMIN. Create a new username and pass at start-up, and then create a new database, the one you will be using for your phpBB installation.

Now download phpBB 2.0.x from phpbb.com, or download phpBBplus from http://www.phpbb2.de/phpbb2plus/phpBB2_plus_1.2.zip.

Unzip the phpBB2 folder into C:\Foxserv\www\

After you have done such, visit http://localhost/phpBB2/ to view your install page. enter the correct information.
database name: the name of the database you created.
database username: username you created
database password: password you created

then enter your email information and everything else as it should be. Now delete the install and contrib directories from the phpBB2 folder on your computer.

Voila! All set up. If you want to have other people view your site, then you need a forwarding service. I have a dynamic IP, so I use http://www.dynu.com. Register an account there and follow all of their instructions if you have a dynamic IP. Now you should visit http://yoursite.dynu.com/ to make sure everything worked.

Also, windows xp users BE SURE TO INSTALL SERVICE PACK 1. SP1 fixes critical incompatibility issues with the apache 2.x server that prevents it from using php correctly. If you do not have service pack one, php pages will load incorrectly or not at all on your webserver.

I posted this because I was fed up with trying to find a host that supports php and mysql and doesnt have any ads on it.

NOTE: You wont get any HOST that will allows you WAREZ, then you can use your own pc as your own HOST

another program that works well is phpdev5 i have used it for a long time. and another site to register a dns name is http://dyndns.org it gives you better names, for example mine is http://shag.kicks-*ss.net.

4. Hi Folks!
   
   Just wanted to share my new experience.
   
   If your system denies to run due to an error related to missing HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other critical system boot files you can fix this by using the XP installation CD. Simply boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then launch "attrib -H -R -S" on the C:\Boot.ini file and remove it. Run "Bootcfg /Rebuild" and then Fixboot

6. There was this time that i was over at my friend's house, a whole bunch of us. My ex boyfriend came over to join us, and we all watched this movie where there were a lot of naked hot chicks in it. Well, it ended, and i went to sleep with my ex beside me,(we were going out at the time)-and i wasn't quite asleep, but he thought i was so he began to slip his hand down my sweatpants and slid his finger up and down my clit on the outside of my panties. Needless to say, i was enjoying this tremendously, because i accidentally smiled. I don't know if he saw me smile, because it was pretty dark, but then he began to finger me intensley. That was the first time i had ever been fingered, and i'll never forget that night. Too bad he turned out to be a jackass!

9. Hello to all,just joined the forum and to not be ghost user with no posts will post some USELESS joke :)
   
   +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
   "Smoking in the Rain"
   
   Two old ladies were waiting for a bus and one of them was smoking a cigarette. It started to rain, so the old lady reached into her purse, took out a condom, cut off the tip and slipped it over her cigarette and continued to smoke.
   Her friend saw this and said, "Hey that's a good idea! But, what is that thing you put over your cigarette?"
   The other old lady said, "It's a condom."
   "A condom? Where do you get those?"
   The lady with the cigarette told her friend that you could purchase condoms at the pharmacy. When the two old ladies arrived downtown, the old lady with all the questions went into the pharmacy and asked the pharmacist if he sold condoms. The pharmacist said yes, but looked a little surprised that this old woman was interested in condoms, so he asked her, "What size do you want?"
   The old lady thought for a minute and said, "One that will fit a Camel."
   
   poor,poor Camel :) :)

10. Hi Folks!
    
    Windows vista is also causing lots of boot issues, so I often get questions like this:
    
    I have a Dell Dimension, which won’t boot to Windows (Vista), and none the repair options work:
    
    Startup repair: Reports repair fail due to problem with registry
    
    System Restore: Reports no restore points available
    
    Windows Complete PC Restore: Reports no backups available
    
    Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool: No memory problems
    
    Command Prompt.
    Can’t think of any appropriate command to use here.
    
    So I booted with the system DVD (as one would with XP) but the upgrade
    option has been greyed don’t want to do a new install. I want to restore existing
    installation.
    
    What should I do?
    
    ------------------------------------------------------------
    
    So here is the answer:
    
    You can't do a 'repair install' because you need to launch the Vista DVD
    from within Windows, not, as you have been doing, booting straight from the
    DVD; that is why the 'upgrade' is greyed out.
    
    If you cannot launch Vista and none of the fix variants will work a new
    install is the only other variant.
    
    To save problems in future it is actually a good idea to image the hard
    drive, using program like True Image. What I do is install operating system, download all updates, check system I working okay for a day or two, activate system, then image the drive/partition. Any time I get a problem I can re-image the drive/partition quickly and be up and running without much trouble. And minor repairs are done by using any registry fix tool, there are plenty of them on the market today.
    
    Regards,
    Carl
