I have a project that I want to create and part of it involves having a small discussion board ( forums) for user comment. I have all the ideas and design in place but I'm having issues finding/installing forum software. To be clear, the site can not have ads on it, and that is why I don't want to use a free forum host somewhere. ( If you know of a free ad-less forum host lmk!)
The problem is that when I upload the phpBB folder via FTP and click install Firefox says page not found. I think this may have something to do with my web host, which is currently 1&1.com. Unfortunately I think I have their windows hosting package.
I need to have the forums installed.... so is there an alternative to phpBB that doesn't require php? or is there a way around the 1and1 hosting?
There is also another option... microsoft has a free web hosting service called OfficeLive... would that work with forum software?
