when you say webwiz servers do you mean the server the webwiz.net
site is on.. or Web Wiz servers? as they are 2 different ones. if its regards to WebWiz your best bet is to ask them direct via the main site, or if able to ring him. |

No phpbb will not work as WW hosting uses asp on windows servers rather than php on Linux servers |

| It does work on windows servers, you just have to install php, but from the looks of it WWF does not have php enabled as default |

Yeah -- the host has to have installed php. Most will support php files though due to its popularity and flexibility. Also, sometimes there are specific permission requirements for many php functions like in the phpbb where the host would have to allow the permissions for full functionality. ------------- http://webspacegeeks.com - Need Hosting, Domains, Dedicated Servers? http://www.smartergeek.com - web design | pc support | training | podcasts | video production |

Also check the PHPBB documentation for requirements, as it may use some
UNIX functions that require a *NIX server. There is a common
compression component that's used in a lot of PHP apps, I think it's
ziplib, but not sure. That's pretty much your last checkpoint. ------------- http://renegademinds.com/" rel="nofollow - Renegade Minds - Guitar Software http://renegademinds.com/Default.aspx?tabid=65" rel="nofollow - Slow Down Music |

Sorry forgot to mention that the reason why it wouldnt work was because it wasnt installed.  The CPU load function is UNIX only which is a shame because it would be great to use it on Windows  |
