delete the parent directory.

Just replace the files from the source tarball.


phpBB's installation only involves setting up a database. To uninstall it you can just delete the files and remove the database.

If you installed it from the repositories you might want to remove it using the installer package you used. For example debian uses apt-get, which would automatically remove it for you and you can just run apt-get install phpbb again to reinstall it.

Otherwise if you installed it by hand (ie downloaded from their site and you uploaded it), then do what the other nice folks said and just delete the parent directory.

Is phpBB included in Fedora repositories?

[k1ll3rdr4g0n]

I know it is in ubuntu repositories. I haven't used Fedora that much, but I would assume yes. I could be wrong though.

so i guess my solution is void

i did following steps so which file needs to be delete and is there any easy why like through yum command etc:
Here are steps which i followed:

$ tar zxf phpBB-2.x.x.tar.gz
$ mv ./phpBB2 /"PATH_TO_html_files"/

here the link i followed for installation:
http://www.hypexr.org/phpbb.php#phpbbinstall

but when i go to installation page...and click to start installation...it shows blank page.

You typed in:
$ mv ./phpBB2 /"PATH_TO_html_files"/
Exactly like that?

If you did not install it via yum you cannot uninstall it via yum...

Just delete it.

$ rm -rf /path/to/public_html/phpBB2/
$ mysql
> drop schema phpBB2;

Replace with your path and DB name, obviously.

YES that the only path i set so far
