phpBB2 has been installed, but is not quite ready to be used yet!

You have to ensure that you have a database server (or ODBC access to a
remote database) installed and configured, and you have to ensure that your
PHP installation has been compiled with support for your database or
database access method.  You have to create a database for phpBB2 to use,
and ensure that this database may be accessed and changed by the user id
under which your web server executes.  Further information on these
installation procedures may be found in:
 /usr/local/share/doc/phpbb/INDEX.html
Once these steps have been taken, you may connect to the following URL to
configure your installation of phpBB2:
 http://localhost/phpBB2/

After configuring phpBB2 and ensuring that it is operational, you MUST delete the following files manually for security purposes from

/usr/local/www/data/phpBB2:
/usr/local/www/data/phpBB2/install/install.php
/usr/local/www/data/phpBB2/install/upgrade.php
/usr/local/www/data/phpBB2/install/update_to_210.php
Duplicates of these files have been installed to /usr/local/share/phpbb.
/usr/local/share/phpbb/contrib contains contributed software for phpBB2.
