invision and phpBB is the two big forum systems in php and phpbb is very similar to web wiz.. you could try phpnuke from phpnuke.com.. thats a whole portal system, but im not sure what forum they are running..

I have a win2k pc with Mysql and PPhp installed. I tried the invision board and as i already said, the config is VERY VERY DIFFICULT. It's very hard 2 manage that.
Regarding PhPbb, I know know about its admin but i dont like the interface. I'll try that phpnuke.
Any other forums.
Sorry for disturbing you guys, Again.

Thank you.

Ok. I will try PhpBB Again. I have used this webwiz forum for about 6months and my database size is 35MB+ . If i install PhPBB, what do i do of the database. It cannot be installed with that.

BTW, If  i can manage to install INVISION BOARD, is it good? I have heard it has LOTS AND LOTS OF FEATURES.

Thank you

i havnt tried invision board..

i think you have a problem if you are going to use your webwiz database on a linux server....... you could manually copy all the data from one database to another..

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I have got my linux server logon details from my webhost now.
I had seen a post at http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=33443
which says it has a converter to convert wwf to phpbb but it gives some error.
BTW, u said u can manually copy, how do i do that??

to copy manually you just open the databases and copy the text inside.. but thats hell alot of work if you have got a 35+mb database..

if you are using access and the server support access and asp, then maybe you can run wwf.. but i know nothing about linux and apache and that type of sh*t.. have tried Mandrake 8.1 "the easiest linux version ever" didnt understand sh*t of it.. then my ideas about starting with php went away and i started with asp..
