PhpBB comes supplied with British English as its standard language. In most cases this is all handled transparantly by your ftp client, but if you encounter problems later you should be sure the files were uploaded correctly as described here. If you are unfamiliar with what this means please refer to your FTP client documentation. txt files should be uploaded in ASCII mode, while all graphics should be uploaded in BINARY mode. Please ensure that the cases of filenames are retained, do NOT force filenames to all lower or upper case as doing so will cause errors later.Īll. From there you must FTP ALL the files it contains (being sure to retain the directory structure and filenames) to your host. If you do not have shell access or do not wish to use it, you will need to decompress the phpBB archive to a local directory on your system using your favourite compression program, e.g. If you have shell access to your account (via telnet or ssh for example) you may want to upload the entire phpBB archive (in binary mode!) to a directory on your host and unarchive it there.

Installation of phpBB will vary according to your server and database. If you experienced problems or do not know how to proceed with any of the steps above please read the rest of this document.
