Joomla is very very and i mean very powerful CMS. It is very capable but takes times to learn. At the moment you can do this

1. Install Blog like yoursite.com/blog
2. Intall forum like yoursite.com/forum

Then go to developers site like wordpress.com or *www.phpbb.com/mods or phpbbhacks.com and search for MODS which will help you in making the Forum and Blog content show in an simple HTML document.

Example MOD : *www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=145150

You can also post in phpbb Community since lot of members are there to help you out

first of all very very thanks to all for putting in nd helping a noob like me

i have taken a free space from mycoolworldfree.org with Cpanel and have

sucessfully installed phpbb forum on it .

i have some Q hope u all will help :


though with cpasne installation is just a click away but installion of phpbb

forum was very painfull EVEN THOUGH I WAS GIVING correct info nd have

created database before but in the form of phpbb it was saying "ERROR

CONNECTING DATABASE " after 2 days with same

info my forum have installed .

I wana know Y it is so ? was it due to server ?

will such a kind of problem will prevail even in paid hosting ?

When you install using Fantastico, it will automatically create a user and a database and assin appropraite privilages to database and files.

Since, it is giving a Dabase connecting Errors. Please check

1. From cPanel check if the required Db's are there and user is assgned to that DB
2. Then Check Config.php from FTP to see all the Databse fields are correct or not

will such a kind of problem will prevail even in paid hosting ?

Since the cause is unknown, it can happen....but you can always contact the Host's support dept.

integrategrated in my web page ?

i m still a noob but with Ur execlent support nd help i will learn fast so plz put in anything that i

should know or can help me

 

[Sukhdeep Singh]

hmm interesting, it should not have rest the installation, check the config.php and see is that matches the MySQL database detilas in cPanel

Why it reset - that answer lies only with the host.

As for integrating, read few posts above this and i have replied that
