	I've read Greg's advice page; I did google for instructions OR 
	tutorial on installling phpbb2 , freebsd

	and foundnothing helpful. Since I did create the mysql lines,
	my'03 notes suggested tha it was timeto point my browser at the
	BBS.  aristotle is a jail without X so I used lynx.

	The only thing I seemto remember is that in 2003, phpBB2 was
	installed withthe data directory, /usr/local/www/data/
	Now itis installed in theweb ``root'' irectory, /usr/local/www

	Below is what happened with lynx.




p4 22:05 <Jail:: aristotle> [2672] lynx http://localhost/phpBB2/
							    404 Not Found
			       Not Found

  The requested URL /phpBB2/ was not found on this server.

	PS: Last time I was using apache13.  I don't understand very much
	    about apache22.  But looks like I'd better get busy... .
