We just had our DA setup. We ouselves currently have 3 domains that were operating at the time of transfer. We just accepted a friends Domain and after getting confirmation on the ns directions we then went to upload the Phpbb software. We did use the tar file. After uploading we then went into the public html folder and then extracted it. It then made a new folder for phpbb and uploaded sucessfully. Now when we go to the url of that site we get nothing but the php code for those files which should be the phpbb default board. I have read each help file in the user and admin section of DA but see nothing pertaining. I feel this is probably as a result of our newness in just setting up our DA account. Being a User and Administrator is certainly a challenge in learning. I also got confirmation that the domain setup and the ns1 and ns2 was in order. Thanks for any help
Loading PhPBB Board
- Thread starter Trident
- Start date
Make sure php is enabled for the account/domain that you are trying to install the board on 
Does php work on any accounts at all?
If not, you might want to try recompiling everything using customapache looking for any errors that might crop up.

Thanx for your quick reply...Could you please tell me where to enable php?...To answer your question, yes, the other domains are php based forums and they are working correctly. When i investigated php safemode, it said php was on...Is that the right location of what you are referring to concerning enabling php.
We aquired those domains already set up by a previous person so we are new to this but working hard to learn all we can. I even tried renaming index.php to index.html and visaversa and got the same results.
jmstacey, thanx again for your reply and any help on how to enable php would be so much appreciated...

no, the safemode configuration is, well.... safemode. It is not the status of php for that account. From either the Admin or reseller level, view a list of your users and click on the one that's having problems. Then Modify that user, near the bottom of the page, make sure the box next to php Access is checked.

Thanks so much for your trying to help.

Footnote...... My other 3 domains as stated are php based. Just to make sure the download was not problematic I went and download a licensed copy of there board, same exact results. When I go into the file folders they all show in code. When I click on the url it still says page cannot find. ????
