Other Added - Installing PhpBB On GoDaddy
Any time you make changes in your life you are going to be met with opposition from people who would prefer you to stay exactly as you are. Sadly, these people are often the ones that love you the most; your family, friends, partners and even work colleagues. However, in your moments of entrepreneurial seizure, the greatest opposition that you will experience (particularly if you’re a seasoned employee) will come from within yourself.What’s your great business idea?They say that each one of us has an unwritten book lying within us. It’s my belief that each of us also has a great busi
2) Your Database Name (the name you specified when creating your database.
3) Your Database User Name (with godaddy, the same as your database name).
4) Database password. The password you specified when creating the db.
5) prefix for tables in database. This is defaulted to phpbb_ I changed it to phpbb_osd_ just in case I want to install more than one forum on this db.
6) Admin Email Address - that's kind of obvious, type in the e-mail address.
7) Administrator Username (choose one).
8) Administrator password (again, choose a password).
That's it, time to start the install, click the start install button.
Now, it will prompt you that the admin id has been created and ask you to click to proceed.

You've built a website. Wonderful! The next question to ask is this: Once you get a visitor's attention, how can you bring them back?Of course, you don't want every visitor returning, but rather customers and potential customers. Articles and other content published on your site should be relevant, interesting, and well written. Unique content will give your site a better chance of reaching targeted visitors through search engines.Here are seven ways to keep customers coming back to your website.1.Run short-term specials. Internet users love a bargain, and sales
The forum software, phpBB, which stands I assume for PHP bulletin board is a really nice piece of free open source software. It allows you to run a forum, also known as a bulletin board, on your web site assuming you have the following.
1) Your web server needs to support php (as godaddy does at least certainly on their linux offerings). 2) You need access to a MySQL database. - actually, technically you need one of the supported databases, but since I'm writing this in the context of running it on godaddy, let's consider MySQL the de-facto standard.
Let's get down to installing phpBB on godaddy.com. The first thing you need to do is download phpBB. You can find this by doing a search on google, or by going to Open Source Depot.
Once you've downloaded phpBB to your local machine, you'll need to unzip it. After unzipping, you'll find a folder with all the phpBB files in it. In fact, with the version I downloaded it was several folders deep.
Create a folder on your server to put your phpBB install. On my server, I've decided to put phpBB in my /opensourcedepot/forums folder. the folder /opensourcedepot already existed, so I needed to create a sub folder called forums. I did this using FileZilla (the FTP client program that I like to use).
So, now I change to the forums directory and "put" all the files and folders contained in my phpBB folder to the server. It's the directory with the admin folder and all the files, basically take everything recursively down.
I'm writing this as I'm doing a the install for the forums at Open Source Depot (and taking screen snapshots along the way). Right now, my ftp client (FileZilla) is uploading the files to my server. For me, this will take a few minutes, during which time I should go over to my godaddy server and set up a MySQL database.
I don't have room here to discuss every nuance of how to set up a MySQL database on godaddy, but there are other sources of information to help you with that, including those found at Open Source Depot. That article outlines the one really important thing about installing these pieces of software on GoDaddy, the database IP address.
Most of these installs assume that "localhost" will work (as it does on say hostgator), but on GoDaddy, you're database is not necessarily on the same machine as your web server, so you need to specify an address like myname.myserver.net in order to find that address you need to open your database from the hosting manager and the address will appear in your title bar. Either that, or go to the MySQL databases section and click on the pencil. The url for your database should appear somewhere on the screen.
I've set up my database on GoDaddy and I know my IP address for it (I'm not going to give you the real address, or logon id, or passwords here, so don't even bother looking :-)
Your phpBB files are in your forums directory on the server and you know your godaddy database IP (also username, dbname and password). Now you're ready to start the install. To do this, just go to the URL you installed the files to. Now all we need to do is follow the instructions.
I will only mention the items that I am changing in the install. Everything else is left as default.
1) Database Server HostName/DSN in this box I will put in my db IP address foo.myserver.net (of course mine is different...but I'm not telling what it was, for security reasons).
2) Your Database Name (the name you specified when creating your database.
3) Your Database User Name (with godaddy, the same as your database name).
4) Database password. The password you specified when creating the db.
5) prefix for tables in database. This is defaulted to phpbb_ I changed it to phpbb_osd_ just in case I want to install more than one forum on this db.
6) Admin Email Address - that's kind of obvious, type in the e-mail address.

One of the most powerful ways for small businesses to increase sales and keep customers coming back for more is to mail them a newsletter periodically.Why is this such a powerful tool? It’s because if done right, a newsletter automatically separates you from the big box stores like Best Buy and Toys ‘R Us, and can help you even compete successfully with the giant online retailers like Amazon.com and Overstock.com.How does this work?You might not be able to compete with these giants on price but you can beat them by offering great personal service.
