Creating a Board aka Forum on your own PC !

 First of all you need Apache Server, PHP, MySQL and a Forum Script i.e. phpBB or Invision or vBulletin.

 

Download phpDev here

and you get a bundle of all the things above.

 

exttract & install php dev. start the apache server,its 90% done.

 

upload the forum script to X:/phpdev/www/public

(x is your drive, usually C: )

 

now to access the forum through internet you will not know your IP address thru ipconfig command..

 

go to
