Go to http://www.phpbb.com, download the file, read the manual. You need to have PHP on your server in order for the board to work.

Well, it looks like you have PHP. I can't really make it any easier for you. You just have to read and understand the directions that come with the phpbb files.

You dont' read the php files. In the .zip, there's a .txt file that explains how to set up the board..

One important thing... For PHPBB you need MySQL.
If you have it, then download PHPBB 2.0.5 full package, upload everything and run the file install.php that is in install subdirectory.

You can't. The server administrator has to set it up.
