    Beginners help with php scripts?

    I downloaded this php scripts called phpbb which apparently is like a whole website, you just need to upload it to a host that supports php and other stuff like that. I have some knowledge with html and computer understanding, I am working at web design company as a php developer( trainee).
    Can someone help me with this please.
    Change the permissions on config.php to be writable by all (666 or -rw-rw-rw- within your FTP Client)
    Change the permissions on the following directories to be writable by all (777 or -rwxrwxrwx within your FTP Client):
    store/, cache/, files/ and images/avatars/upload/.
    Using your web browser visit the location you placed phpBB3 with the addition of install/index.php or pointing directly to install/, e.g. http://www.mydomain.com/phpbb3/install/,... http://www.mydomain.com/forum/install/... etc.
    Click the INSTALL tab, follow the steps and fill out all the requested information.
    Change the permissions on config.php to be writable only by yourself (644 or -rw-r--r-- within your FTP client)

    thats not so hard.
    if you want to host it your self install Apache and MySQL and php5

    After that learn about chmod.

    And giving 777 to important files isnt really smart..

    Well, hope I helped.
