I'm trying to setup phpBB forum software on my PC's local IIS folder. I've
copied all the files to the IIS folder (c:\InetPub\wwwroot\MyForum). The
readme says:

1.. Using your web browser visit the location you placed phpBB 2 with the
addition of install/install.php, e.g.
http://www.mydomain.com/phpBB2/install/install.php,
http://www.mydomain.com/forum/install/install.php etc.
Where I am to fill in the forms. But I can't open the php file. I put into
the address bar of IE6:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/MyForum/install/install.php

and nothing happens.

I'm using WinXP and I'm a noob when it comes to IIS, so please be gentle~!

Let's start with the basics
Do you have PHP installed?
Do you have your site running on port 8080?
Any error messages?

I'm sure you're aware that XP has a 10 connection limit, and by default IE
opens 2 to each server it connects to, therefore if you have 5 users at your
site at the same time, the site will be unavailable to the 6th until one
disconnects.

Thanks Jonathan,

I installed PHP and it's working now.

Really? Can it be bypassed?

Yes. And no. If you need more than 10, you need to buy a server package
(or use BSD :)
