BitNami phpBB Stack is an easy-to-install distribution of the phpBB forum software.

Since its inception, phpBB has been among the leading bulletin board solutions and quickly rose to be the world's leading Open Source forum software. phpBB has always comprised of a key feature set, including powerful permission systems, private messaging, search functions, a customisable template and language system, as well as support for multiple databases. In the 5 years that have followed its initial release, phpBB2 has gained a huge following worldwide and has played an important role in defining the success of Open Source software.

Here are some key features of "BitNami phpBB Stack":

Easy to Install:
· BitNami Stacks are built with one goal in mind: to make it as easy as possible to install open source software. Our installers completely automate the process of installing and configuring all of the software included in each Stack, so you can have everything up and running in just a few clicks.

Independent:
· BitNami Stacks are completely self-contained, and therefore do not interfere with any software already installed on your system. For example, you can upgrade your system's PHP without fear of 'breaking' your BitNami Stack.

Integrated:
· By the time you click the 'finish' button on the installer, the whole stack will be integrated, configured and ready to go.

Relocatable:
· BitNami Stacks can be installed in any directory. This allows you to have multiple instances of the same stack, without them interfering with each other.
