Well, I'll start:

Do you have a host? If so, does it support PHP and MySQL? If so:

1) download phpbb [url]http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/phpbb/phpBB-2.0.21.zip[/url]

2) unzip and place the contents in the directory on your server where you want them.

3) create a new database.

4) create a user and give this user full rights to the new database

5) change the permissions of config.php to 666.

6) point your browser to install/install.php and fill in the required info there. It will ask for things the hostname (usually localhost), database (what you made in 3) and username (what you did in #4).

7) the installation process should tell you to delete some thing(s), make sure you do that.

Hope that helps.
