Introduction

Welcome to phpBB!

phpBB® is the most widely used open source bulletin board solution in the world. phpBB is the latest installment in a package line started in 2000. Like its predecessors, phpBB is feature-rich, user-friendly, and fully supported by the phpBB Team. phpBB greatly improves on what made phpBB2 and phpBB3 popular, and adds commonly requested features that were not present in previous versions. We hope it exceeds your expectations.

This installation system will guide you through installing phpBB, updating to the latest version of phpBB from past releases, as well as converting to phpBB from a different discussion board system (including phpBB2). For more information, we encourage you to read the installation guide.
