Where to get phpBB3?
It may be downloaded from here.[http://www.phpbb.com/]
Installation basic steps:
1. Unpack the zip file and place it in the root directory of your web server or a directory accessible by the web server. In my case (Windows 7), I have used C:\inetpub\wwwroot. Make sure you make the config.php altered to have write permission.
2. After you have done this, assuming your IIS7 is working, browse to the index.php in the web folder from within the IIS 7 console as shown.
You should see the following web page:
Now click on Install button and on the displayed page click Proceed to next. In the displayed page scroll down on the right to see if you have a game waiting.

Well you can also use an ODBC connection.
I believe this can connect to SQL Azure on Windows Azure as well.
