What is the cost price of having a Forum, the database,renewal and so. I just a mini one.

phpbb dot com its free just download and follow instruction to install as long as you have sorted out hosting you will be fine.

by now, i have spent N5700 for the forum i set up several days ago.
phpbb software, free
domain, N1700
hosting, N4000

exclusive the internet connection charge.

What if the guy either has no technical know-how or simply doesn't have the time? For example, I know for a fact, cos clients tell me so (granted some might be open eye ) that many have bought books on building websites but never actually put one up.

If he has the money to spend, let him drop the dough. The economy gets a kick, that's all

right so poster if you need help PM and I would help you for free, just sort out your hosting and domain yourself thats all hehe

i downloaded the phpbb, but it seems not to open after i unzipped it to a folder. i even went up to installing apache and php for it but still it will not open please can anyone help me out? i am desperate

The cost price of having a forum = the cost price of webhosting

Every web hosting company worth its salt has some form of script in the control panel through which you can install smf or phpbb.

Its getting the forum known through adverts and seo that eats money.


About your phpbb problem. Download and install xampp or wampserver, put your extracted phpbb folder into the www folder and navigate to it on your web browser.

If you have more questions, feel free to post it here.

Sorry mate, this forum blocked me saying I was a spammer for some reason, so couldn't reply you back I can't give you my number cus I don't leave in nigeria, but you can email me kolitos007 at yahoo dot com, how ever I can help you install the forum for free, but you will have to sort out your hosting and domain name yourself, or perhaps we can chat, if you want me to sort out the domain and hosting for you, then you have to give me somethign back in return, may not be a money, but you will have let me know what you can offer to me in terms of maybe marketing and other aspects.

K, before i could finish reading that, I ran back to the last post of Holumighty to see what gender was on the ID

hehe Dual Core, only you will think like that, your mind must be really perverted, you had to turn something that simple into something else you know. Please poster I hope you are not thinking like Dual core, he can't help himself he just likes to piss take. When ever the post has chance we can talk, I have my own server at home, so I don't pay for hosting and a lot of things we can arrange, example i sort your forum for you, you advertise some websites for me simple, I ain't a pervert and to top it up Holumighty is a guy, which means dual core you are saying am gay, you better take it back now.
