If you're using Ubuntu/Kubuntu, visit this link.

Edit: I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you said Slackware. Try this link instead.

I followed the instructions for installation but im not getting the results I should (according to the instructions).
I unpacked the .zip file punBB-1.3 and moved that to /var/www/htdocs/punbb
Im running apache 2.
I open my browser and type in 127.0.0.1/punbb/admin/install.php and hit go.
all I get is the php code, no instructions for installation as the instructions on the website says I should get .... am I missing something?, or not doing something right?
Like I said I'm new to this ... I'm trying to create my own intranet bbs system and test it before I put it on the web hence using the loop back 127.0.0.1
Ive googled and found a few places that say you need to configure apache to use php and sqlite3 , and I think this may be the problem but I'm not sure how to go about it. If there are any websites you guys know about that simplify this or make it easy to understand please share.
As of now I did a standard install of apache2 on slackware and the only thing ive configured is the option to keep it on the loopback .
I really like the way punBB looks and its simplicity please help....thanks.
