Exclamation How Can I Install phpBB onto My Website?
Summary of Question
I cannot install phpBB onto my website. Help needed.

Background
Hi. I'm Alexandrew and I've just created a website at www.alegzandrew.com. I thought that I needed some forums for my site so I decided to download phpBB.

Details of problem
The phpBB website tells me to visit www.alegzandrew.com/phpBB and it will automatically redirect me to the install page. However, this doesn't happen. I keep getting "This Page Cannot Be Displayed". When I decide to visit www.alegzandrew.com/phpBB/install/install.php, I get a bunch of random code. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? I'm only 15 and I really need help right now. I'm still very new to web building so thanks a lot of you could help.

Hey Alexandrew,

Are you sure you have uploaded all the phpBB files correctly and in the right structure?

Yep, I'm sure. I deleted it and uploaded it again, still the same problem.

Silly question I know, but you definitely have PHP enabled and running on your server?
