You could install one of several (open source) CMS packages, that work
with a database (MySQL) and a Webserver (Apache) and are generally
coded in PHP. WordPress is a fairly simple system that might give you
what you want. Not exactly a "forum", but does allow people to
'comment' on blog entries (posts), which might be all you need. It
does allow for the site adminstrator to grant authoring privs to other
users. And there might be plugins that implement full-fledged forums
(I haven't looked). Joomla! is a more comprehensive CMS system and it
does have extensions that implement forums.
