PhpBB3 BBCodes

this won't cause viruses and hackers to sneak in will it?

still getting the message, even though I've added the control panel to the list of exceptions in the firewall settings.....

Just re-booted the PC, still not working......

Do you have a router?

maybe it will work try it: add port 80/8080 to your intern ip adress in the router and se if something happens

have you looked at the xampp website like vectra told you to!?

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

Ok I'm into the xampp page..... what now

got quite a way now, but I can't find Apache friends in the start menu...........

if you did not install xampp using the .exe file, you just extracted the files somewhere, read the link a gave you towards the end it will tell you what to do! you have to read a bit before you really understand what you are supposed to do!

Ok, I've found the folder (I think) its called 'htdocs' is that the same folder as 'httpdocs' ?

It also has two files - 'index.php' and 'index.html' when I click the html one there's text saying "It works!"

However I click on this link..

http://localhost/phpbb/install/install.php

and there's an error message.....
