Question PHPbb3 setup problems
im trying to setup a PHPbb board on a linux hosted godaddy server, somethings wrong though... i followed the instructions on http://help.godaddy.com/article/1018

i think i installed everything correctly, when i went to http://www.<domain>.com/phpBB3/index.php a test forum thing showed up, now i somehow deleted that & cant figure out how to set up a fourm

i went to Administration Control Panel > forums > manage forums > create forum
and made a forum called trial forum but it doesnt show up still & that forum site says This board has no forums. so obviously its not recoginizing what i put in

if anyone can help me please, im soo lost & confused

It's been a while since I toyed around with PHPBB, but I *think* it may be the permissions not being set. You may need to add the user groups that have permission to view the forum you created.

I don't know if it will help you out or not, but here's a link to creating forums over at phpbb.
