Are you sure that you have selected right db type for the phpBB. it can occur problems.

Or check your php.ini file if the php_mysql or php_mysqli is enabled.

I recommend using wamp too. I have also configured my pgsql on wamp and It's really easy if you are a new to php. But most of the experienced will not recommend you installing wamp (not because they are only experienced:) because your developement environement should be like your real time server. And this pre made installers are not that good.

But try Zend Platform too. It's free for developers and very very easy.

I downloaded phpMAdmin and installed using this tutorial

I haven't had any problems using these 2 tutorials and it all works perfectly

It works fine now, thanks for the help.  One last thing.

My sites is  www.########.com  so when I go to my site it opens the index.html file. Thats what it is sposed to do... I dont want my site anymore I just want my phpbb forum.  I dont know how to tell apache that I dont want to open a index.html  I want it to open a index.php file.  How do i tell apache because even if I set my root to /phpbb it opens all the .php files    like config.php and help.php  but in a hirachy type thing. I just dont want to keep going to www.*******.com/phpbb2/index.php
