You'll have to create an .htaccess an place it into you punbb main directory... then add that line above to test if it will work or not.   Some hosts won't allow a custom .htaccess or won't allow php flags being turned on or off, but hey ... it's worth a shot!

Yes there are and I really like Xampp for running php files locally since it already has everything inlcuded, unless you are dealing with (yuck) ioncube encoded files

Heres a nice tutorial on mysql:

Just in case anybody runs into this problem in the future, try adding this line to your .htaccess if you get a blank page after installing any script:

php_flag display_errors on

It may show you the error that is stopping the page from showing (if you view source you'll usually only see the basic html tags if anything at all) and give you a place to start looking
