Neither of thoses links worked i have a directory in my home called phpbb and in that as the folder called (forum) which i named. In that it has all the files. In this tutorial i was using it said to do this to install it:
Browse to <your forum address> which we've just determined: http://<forum hostname>/<phpBB directory>
My host name is 192.168.0.105 and i replaced default phpBB2 with (forum). How would i install it now?

did you place the files and folders in your httpd document root or alias them? If so, navigate, via your localhost to that location.

Yes, create the database. You don't have to name it forum, although it is appropriate

ok i created the database (forum) and i made a user with all privileges. I still get that same error.

Is there something in the php.ini that can fix this error?

do you have the database extension(s) needed for php to interact with it installed and set up to load in php.ini?
