Wicked_one Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I want to run a phpbb forum on my local comp. for development. When I installed MySQL I installed the complete install as a development comp. I'm not sure if I have the right config. for running a forum on my comp? I don't know where to find the DB hostname. Is having php on my comp. enough for MySQL to use it or do I have to install php in the MySQL DB? If some one who has installed phpbb on there comp. reads this please e-mail me with how you installed everything(php, MySQL, phpbb).

wildteen88 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 To install phpbb you'll need three things Apache (a webserver), PHP and MySQL. You have to install Apache as PHP is a server side language. Your computer wont understand PHP, even though your have PHP installed. When you install and setup Apache all php files you request from http://localhost will get parsed by PHP. If you are new to installing AMP (Apache, PHP and MySQL) I'd recommend you to install WAMP from wampserver.com. Also the hostname will be just localhost Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/67026-installing-mysql-on-local-comp-to-run-a-forum-on-my-local-comp/#findComment-336421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
