It doesn't work that way: you need to install PHP and MySQL and configure lighttpd to work with PHP and PHP to work with MySQL before you can even install PunBB, let alone login
XAMPP has everything Apache/PHP/MySQL related already set up, so you simply upload a copy of PunBB to the htdocs folder and you can install

Re: Where can i download lighttpd? (66 replies, posted in General discussion)
tbh grudon, you're much better off going with XAMPP given your lack of experience and the amount of work required to configure lighttpd
Now, what issue are you having with XAMPP?

And as for the extra quotation marks, I'd check and see what's actually in the database. If the quotation mark isn't there, it's a problem with your setup.

Upgrade to 1.2.14 (which you should do anyway to fix various security issues) and then try it

Re: Maintaining two branches - a stable version, and a dev version (6 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 discussion)
Nobody has abandoned 1.2: just because there has not been a new release since October does not mean there won't be in the future. However, if we released a new version every time we found a bug, we'd be up to 1.2.954 by now (and we could hardly call it stable).

Re: View forum in index (23 replies, posted in PunBB 1.2 troubleshooting)
A. Once you do a redirect with header you don't have to load any HTML
B. header.php doesn't bring common.php in, so $pun_user is never populated
A more compact version:
<?php
define('PUN_ROOT', './');
require PUN_ROOT.'include/common.php';
if (!$pun_user['is_guest'])
header("Location: viewforum.php?id=2");
else
header("Location: login.php");4,415 2007-01-14 12:45

And as for converting: the converter claims to do Invision Power Board 2.0, so you would have to test it out. I believe that if it works, everyone will need to request a new password, but otherwise everything should be OK.
If it doesn't work, we can look into trying to fix it (and, at worst, you could convert it to other forum software and then to PunBB)

I'm going to close this (since I'm admin of PunBB-Hosting, I'll deal with it). In the future, please report all issues to the PunBB-Hosting support forum (since that's the only place that can really provide help for your situation).

That's odd, it's extremely simple to do.
