phpBB3 QuickInstall ReadMe

About:
phpBB3 QuickInstall is tool used to manage many installations of phpBB3. It is
not meant to be used on a remote server, it should be used only locally. You
can install a phpBB3 board with one single mouse click. This is useful for
developing modifications, as you won't have any conflicts of different mods.
And might need to install several boards before your testing is done.

Installation:
Copy the quickinstall folder to your local web space. Make sure boards/,
cache/ and settings/ are writable by your web server.

Download the latest phpBB version from http://www.phpbb.com/downloads/, unzip it
and copy the phpBB3 directory to sources/

Download AutoMOD from http://www.phpbb.com/mods/automod/ or from the AutoMOD repo
https://github.com/phpbb/automod depending on what version you want. Unzip the
package and copy the contents of the root, or upload depending on AutoMOD version,
directory to sources/automod/.

Then point your browser to quickinstall/index.php. Make sure the directories
boards/, cache/ and settings/ are writable by your web server.
You should be taken to the settings page with some default values filled in.
Check them and change what is needed. You need to fill DB user and password. Then
click "Save". If you don't set a profile name, the name "default" will be used.

After that open index.php in your browser and it should work. If
it does not, seek support here: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewforum.php?f=71
