http://modelcrowd.com/portable_punbb.zip this is what i made.. i designed it to work on a usb stick but it should work on a HD.
just unzip and run the autorun.. that it....
if the page loads with an error .. just close it and give it a few sec and then go to http://localhost...
it needs time to load the system with sql php and other stuff.... a fully functional webserver..

but how do I now navigate to the install.php file in that www folder?
i.e. What is the URL for my browser?

Then navigate to the path in your browser.

I'm a newbie to all this so my apologies if the answer is somewhere in the forum.

On my local PC I have installed WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) http://www.e-novative.info/software/wamp.php .

Thus far:

I can see the following shortcuts on my desktop:
WAMP Control Center
Target: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c start http://LAPTOP/wamp
Start in: "C:\Program Files\e-novative\WAMP\controlcenter"
and
WAMP Web Documents
Target: "C:\Program Files\e-novative\WAMP\www"
Start in: "C:\Program Files\e-novative\WAMP\controlcenter"

I now want to install PUNBB

The PUNBB Installation instructions state:

   1. Copy/upload all contents of the directory upload/ into the directory where you want to run your forums.
   2. Run install.php from the forum root directory (e.g. open http://mydomain/myforums/install.php in your browser). Follow the instructions.

How do I do this please?

TVM in advance

Mike
