How to Edit the PHP Variables in Phpbb

PhpBB is a free and open-source bulletin board program that runs on Linux Web servers and provides a forum space for individuals to converse. If you have phpBB installed on your server, you can edit the variables in it to tweak it to your liking. This requires that you log in to the server and edit the files directly from the command line.

Instructions

1. Log in to your Linux server.

2. Type "cd /var/www/phpbb_folder" on the terminal and press "Enter." Replace "/var/www/phpbb_folder" with the root folder of your phpBB installation.

3. Type "vim phpbb_filename.php" and press "Enter." Replace "phpbb_filename.php" with the name of the file containing the variables you wish to edit.

4. Type "vim phpbb_filename.php" and press "Enter." Replace "phpbb_filename.php" with the name of the file containing the variables you wish to edit.

5. Press the "Escape" button, then type "ZZ" to save and exit the text edit application and immediately apply the changes to phpBB.
