ezPhpForum is an Open Source forum which is easy to install and use. It is possible to design your own forum template. You can make it look like any forum that is out there. Make sure you talk to the authors first, because. If you are tired of using phpBB (Because it has been hacked for a hundred times) then you can use the included migration script all your data will be transferred to ezPhpForum.

Default you will get the same template as this one, but you can modify it to everything you want. There is too much to mention what this script offers. You should try it yourself.

To install follow these steps:
1. Unzip ezPhpForum to an empty directory.
2. Copy the entire contents of the ezphpforum/ folder to the destination Web server using File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
3. Write enable the directoriey siteimages/ for all users.
4. Do the same for the config.php file in the include/ directory.
5. Browse to http://yourserver/install.php and enter your the correct values for your MySQL server, database, username and password (see figure 1 below).
6. Click the Install button and wait for the completion message.
7. Remove the write access to the config.php file.

Requirements:
To run ezPhpForum you need a web server with installed support for PHP 4 and MySQL.
The advantage of PHP and MySQL is that they can run on any UNIX/Linux system and on Microsoft Windows and the Apple operating system, making this technology the prime choice for the modern Web or Intranet developer.
You can complete all of the ezPhpForum administration tasks for your site using a Web browser (for example MS Explore or Mozilla). The minimum screen resolution required to use the administration section is 800x600.
