Hi Background: I am installing php with apache2 and ssl, mysql-server-5.0.11 on one of my Freebsd 5.3. servers. I propose to run a forum (currently investigating phpbb but would like to consider others) and am also looking for suitable blog and wiki applications. I am more of a system administrator than a programmer although I do have considerable experience of some programming languages. Questions: 1. As I am new to php I would appreciated if someone could help me locate a tutorial which not only describes what is in the configuration files (which the distributed configuration files do quite well) but also, some explanations that might be understood by a php neophyte, plus guidance and detailed examples on one might choose on option over another in different circumstances. For those who are not familiar with php the configuration files can appear daunting. 2. Recomendations for forum, wiki and blog modules.
