ok, I downloaded the phpBB stuff and uploaded it to my adelphia account web storage. I installed mssql 2000 server and its running. I fill out the intall page but I get the following error when I select MS SQL Server 7/2000:
The PHP configuration on your server doesn't support the database type that you chose

ok, so I choose MS SQL Server [ ODBC ] and get this error:
Warning: SQL error: [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified, SQL state IM002 in SQLConnect in /www/h/a/hamunaptra/public_html/phpBB2/db/mssql-odbc.php on line 54
Warning: odbc_error(): supplied argument is not a valid ODBC-Link resource in /www/h/a/hamunaptra/public_html/phpBB2/db/mssql-odbc.php on line 377

phpBB : Critical Error
Could not connect to the database

ok, so I am doing something wrong, or lots of things wrong. Is there a guide to setting this up?

You really think its an adelphia issue? My web pages shows up fine. the sql is running. http and ftp work for me and my storage. Unless I get a reason I don't think its adelphia.
