- Enter a directory name.
- Select the domain name to which you'd like to install the forum.
- Click the Add button.
- Onscreen you will see a listing for your new forum, with the web address you can use to access it. Typically you would link to this address from your website homepage.
Once you have added a forum you will want to configure it for your needs.
- Click the Admin button adjacent to the phpBB forum you just installed.
