Unfortunately I'm not a php developer.  I uploaded phpbb and had a go at the
install page.  It informed me that php was not going to work with my
selected database.  This error message could actually mean many things so I
thought I'd ask the question.

I have subsequently created a "page" to invoke phpinfo() and it returned
among other things;

Configure Command

./configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs'
'--enable-safe-mode' '--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd'
'--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-zlib' '--enable-magic-quotes'
'--with-regex=system' '--enable-track-vars' '--with-iconv' '--enable-xml'
'--disable-debug' '--with-gd' '--with-gettext'
'--with-ttf=/usr/lib/libttf.so' '--enable-mbstring'
'--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--with-interbase=shared' '--with-mysql=shared'
'--with-pgsql=shared' '--with-imap'

Server API

Apache

So I guess the pieces are in place and hence phpbb should work.
